Topic #: 3
[All MB-335 Questions]

You work for a gem wholesaler that sells raw diamonds. Diamonds are purchased and sold in individual boxes but weighed and inventoried in carats.

You are setting up a catch weight item for diamonds. Each box of diamonds must be tracked by its individual container weight.

You need to set up this item as a full visibility catch weight item.

Which two steps must you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer: A, D

A catch weight item is an item that is sold by one unit of measure but is managed in inventory by a different unit of measure1. For example, diamonds are sold by boxes but weighed by carats.A full visibility catch weight item is a catch weight item that requires the weight of each individual container to be tracked2. For example, each box of diamonds must have its own weight recorded.

To set up a catch weight item for diamonds, you must do the following steps2:

Assign the item aTracking dimension groupwithactive serial number control. This enables the item to be tracked by serial numbers, which represent the individual containers of the item. Each serial number will have its own weight associated with it.

Assign the item aSerial number groupwithper qty. defined as 1. This ensures that each container of the item has a unique serial number and that only one container can be assigned to a serial number.

Create aninter-class unit of measure conversionbetweenboxes and carats. This defines the relationship between the sales unit and the inventory unit of the item. The conversion factor can be based on a nominal weight or an average weight of the containers.

A and C seem like a good combo, but I'm not sure about C.

I feel like assigning a Tracking dimension group with batch number is the right choice, but I can't recall if we also need to focus on the inter-class unit of measure conversion.

I’m a bit confused about the serial number group option. Does it really need to be defined as per quantity 1 for catch weight items?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to set up tracking for items, and I think creating a unit of measure conversion is definitely part of it.

I think we need to assign a Tracking dimension group, but I'm not sure if it should be serial number control or just batch number.

I'm not sure about the inter-class unit of measure conversion. Does that mean I need to set up a conversion between the box and carat units? I'll have to think that one through.

Okay, I've got this. I need to assign a tracking dimension group with active serial number control, and then set up a serial number group with per qty. defined as 1. That should do the trick.

This seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is to set up the item as a catch weight item and track the individual boxes by serial number.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between the tracking dimension group and the serial number group. I'll need to review those concepts before answering.

Wouldn't we also need to assign a serial number group with per qty. defined as 1? That way we can track each individual box.
