Implement product information management
Configure product dimensions, storage dimension groups, and tracking dimension groups, then justify each choice for three differently tracked items
Create five product masters with predefined variants and assign attribute values and category hierarchy nodes to each
Build a three-level category hierarchy with attribute types and attach it to released products
Release products and demonstrate a lifecycle state transition, a translation, and three product relationship types (upsell, cross-sell, substitute)
Your checkpoint
A sandbox containing five product masters with at least 15 released variants, one three-level category hierarchy, one lifecycle transition, and a one-page decision table explaining every dimension and item model group choice
Implement product information management & Implement inventory and asset management
Define unit conversions and bar codes for the released products and validate them on a purchase order line
Set up inventory model groups for FIFO, weighted average, and standard cost, and assign them to item groups
Post movement, adjustment, and transfer journals and reconcile the resulting on-hand balances by site and warehouse
Configure inventory blocking and reservation, and show how marking affects a specific transaction settlement
Your checkpoint
A posted journal log with at least six transactions across three warehouses and a reconciliation sheet where calculated on-hand matches the inventory on-hand report to zero units
Implement inventory and asset management
Execute a complete inventory close and adjustment run and reconcile settlements for FIFO and weighted average items
Configure and run a counting journal plus a tag counting process, then post the resulting adjustments
Create a quarantine order, a nonconformance record, and a quality order linked to a batch-controlled item
Set up two assets inside a functional location, raise a maintenance request, and convert it into a corrective work order attached to a preventive maintenance plan
Your checkpoint
A closed-inventory period with a variance report showing zero unexplained differences, alongside a documented quality-to-quarantine-to-nonconformance flow and one completed work order with a cost roll-up
Implement master planning
Configure coverage groups, lead times, safety stock, and positive/negative days for at least four item classes
Set up a master plan, enter a demand forecast, and reduce it against firm orders
Run planning optimization and interpret planned purchase, transfer, and production orders, including action and delay messages
Firm at least three planned orders and confirm the resulting supply covers the demand date correctly
Your checkpoint
A 30-day planning run with a written trace of five planned orders from demand signal to firmed order, plus a table of every action message and the decision taken on it
Implement master planning & Implement warehouse management and transportation management
Apply capability-to-promise and safety-stock replenishment to a constrained item and compare the outcome with the base plan
Model an intercompany planning scenario and validate the resulting planned transfer orders
Configure a warehouse with sites, warehouses, locations, and location profiles, and enable warehouse management processes on a test item
Create location directives and work templates for a purchase order receipt flow
Your checkpoint
A planning notebook covering three scenarios (base, constrained, intercompany) plus a WMS-enabled warehouse where a purchase order receipt generates work and a put directive without manual intervention
Implement warehouse management and transportation management
Build wave templates, work templates, and load templates for an outbound sales order flow and release a wave end to end
Execute receiving, put-away, picking, and packing on the warehouse management mobile app using license plates and containers
Configure cycle counting and replenishment (min/max and demand-based) and trigger a replenishment work order
Set up cluster picking and cross-docking for a high-volume scenario and verify the work lines generated
Your checkpoint
One complete inbound-to-outbound cycle executed on the mobile app with screenshots or screen notes at each step, plus a work line audit table showing every generated and closed work header
Implement warehouse management and transportation management & Implement and manage supply chain processes
Configure shipping carriers, rate engines, and transit time engines, then rate a load and compare two carrier options
Build loads, plan routes, and reconcile a freight invoice against a transportation rate
Configure purchase requisitions, an RFQ, and a purchase agreement, and convert each into downstream documents
Set up a sales order lifecycle with credit limit checking, a sales agreement, and a return order
Your checkpoint
A rated and routed load with a freight reconciliation showing an accepted or rejected match, plus a procurement-to-pay and order-to-cash document chain summary with document numbers at every hop
Implement and manage supply chain processes & Implement product information management & Implement inventory and asset management & Implement warehouse management and transportation management & Implement master planning
Re-run one end-to-end scenario that touches all five domains without referencing notes
Audit your weakest two domains by scoring a timed 60-question practice set and logging every missed item by domain
Re-teach the five most-missed concepts in writing, each in under 150 words
Build a one-page index of setup forms and menu paths you still hesitate on
Your checkpoint
A timed 60-question practice attempt at or above 80 percent overall with no domain below 70 percent, plus a remediation sheet listing each missed item, its root cause, and the fix applied
Milestones
Week 2: Can create a product master, release variants, post an inventory journal, and explain the difference between storage and tracking dimensions without notes - verified by a 15-question self-quiz at 80 percent or better
Week 4: Can run master planning end to end and explain every action message on the output, with the planning trace document complete for five planned orders
Week 6: Can execute a wave-driven outbound shipment on the mobile app and articulate each setup prerequisite from location directive to work template, demonstrated in one uninterrupted walkthrough
Week 8: Practice exam score at or above 80 percent overall and at or above 70 percent in each of the five domains, with the remediation sheet fully populated
