Set Up a Planning Item to Produce One Main and Two Generic Items from One Formula in Dynamics 365 SCM

Implement advanced product information features
Answer Correct answer: C — Create a main product and assign it a Planning item production type to produce the main and two generic items together.

A company uses Process manufacturing for most products and Discrete manufacturing for other products. The company is creating a formula for a new product. The new item will be used to make a name brand product and two generic brand products. This item has the following requirements: • Production of the name brand and generic products must use the same formula. • The company must produce all three items at the same time. You need to create a produced item that can make two generic items and one main item. How should you set up the item?

  1. Create the name brand item as a formula planning production of type formula.
  2. Create the name brand item as a Bills of material production type item.
  3. Create a product as the main product and use a planning item production type. Correct Answer
  4. Create the name brand item as a formula planning production type planning item.

Community Insight

A Planning item is a phantom-style item used in a formula to produce multiple co/by-products (the main and generic items) together in one production run.

To produce a name-brand item and two generic items from the same formula at the same time, create a product as the main product and assign it a Planning item production type.

Do not set the name-brand item as a Formula planning production type alone, nor as a BOM item; the requirement is a main product with a Planning item production type so all three are produced together.

It should be C. Planning items are not stock items.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

A Planning item is a non-stocked item used in a formula to produce several items together. Creating the product as the main product and giving it a Planning item production type lets the same formula produce the name-brand item and the two generic items in one run, satisfying the requirement.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

  • Option A and Option B make the name-brand item a Formula or BOM production type, which does not create the multi-output planning structure.
  • Option D mixes Formula and Planning item production types incorrectly.

Community Comment Notes

Community consensus is C (100); this is a duplicate question about producing multiple items from one formula via a Planning item.
