A company is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management in their manufacturing environment.
The manufacturing process uses formulas to direct material consumption on the batch orders.
During production some items in the formula must be consumed automatically from the production area, while some must be picked with their actual consumption reported on a pick list.
You need to determine which setup method is used for formula lines to allow for the desired mixed method picking processes.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

In a manufacturing environment, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is used to manage the material consumption and picking process for batch orders. Formulas are used to specify the exact material consumption requirements for each batch order. However, in some cases, the material consumption must be split between automatic consumption from the production area and manual picking with actual consumption reported on a pick list.
To allow for the desired mixed method picking processes, there are two possible ways to set up the formula lines in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management:
A. Leave the flushing principle blank on formula lines and set resource consumption to direct flushing principle of materials based on consumption method for the line. This method involves leaving the flushing principle blank on formula lines, which means that the system will use the default flushing principle for the items in the formula. The default flushing principle can be set based on the consumption method for the item, which can be either 'Manual' or 'Automatic'. For the items that need to be consumed automatically, the consumption method can be set to 'Automatic', and for the items that need to be picked manually, the consumption method can be set to 'Manual'. The resource consumption can then be set to direct flushing principle of materials based on the consumption method for the line. This will ensure that the material consumption is directed to the appropriate picking process based on the consumption method.
B. Leave the flushing principle blank on formula lines and set the default start value to Always for Automatic Bill of Material Consumption. This method involves leaving the flushing principle blank on formula lines and setting the default start value to 'Always' for Automatic Bill of Material Consumption. This means that all the items in the formula will be automatically consumed, and any remaining quantity will be picked manually. This method may not be suitable if the exact material consumption requirements need to be tracked.
C. Leave the flushing principle blank on formula lines and set default flushing principle on the items based on consumption method for the item. This method involves leaving the flushing principle blank on formula lines and setting the default flushing principle on the items based on the consumption method for the item. This method is similar to method A but involves setting the default flushing principle on the items rather than the consumption method for the line. This may be a suitable method if the consumption method for each line is not known in advance.
D. Set the flushing principle on each formula line based on consumption method for the line. This method involves setting the flushing principle on each formula line based on the consumption method for the line. This method may be suitable if the exact material consumption requirements need to be tracked for each line. However, this method may be time-consuming and may require more effort to set up and maintain.
In summary, to achieve the desired mixed method picking processes in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, one can leave the flushing principle blank on formula lines and set resource consumption to direct flushing principle of materials based on consumption method for the line or leave the flushing principle blank on formula lines and set the default start value to Always for Automatic Bill of Material Consumption.
