A distribution company has multiple warehouses. Tax rates charged on sales orders need to be calculated based on locality and region. You need to recommend a cost-effective solution that can be implemented quickly. What should you recommend?
A.
Check AppSource for a tax add-on.
B.
Create alerts in Dynamics 365 Finance for tax table changes.
PowerBi can create reports, dashboards an insight into data. This can be rolled out quickly and cost effective.
Implementing the common data model is not a good fit in my opinion, because this would entail migrating existing company data schema's to the CDM.
This question is really unclear and lacks context. "You need to recommend a cost-effective solution that can be implemented quickly". But a solution to do what?
Both creating an alert in D365 and creating a Power BI report are low cost solutions, but with different purposes.
But there is no mention in the question that D365 is being used as an operational system.
Therefore one has to assume that the "solution" would be to create a cost effective way to lookup the correct tax rate, to use in whatever sales ordering system the warehouses are using.
It feels like a Power BI report might be the better option here, as it could be used to get a tax rate by applying filters.
Besides, even if we consider that it is implicit that D365 is used as the operational system, I assume that tax rates are global settings, so once changed, D365 should pick up the new rate? What would be the point of the alert?
I will argue that the answer is correct. On the report you can indeed change the view but not the propagated changes in the amount registered once you make the sale. In order to have proper accountability the alert will indicate you to update the tax rates so calculations on the amounts charged are correctly managed. And hence your company won't be overcharging or undercharging!
Si preguntas a ChatGPT te lo dice rapidito, aquí esta la respuesta:
Given the scenario where a distribution company needs to calculate tax rates based on locality and region and is looking for a cost-effective and quick-to-implement solution, the best recommendation would be:
A. Check AppSource for a tax add-on.
why should be an alerts in Dynamics 365. The Exam PL900 doesn't care about Dynamics. Just Power Bi. Power Automate, Copilot, Power Apps and Power Pages.
ChatGPT told me E, what do you think ?
"Given the options, E. Write scripts and code tax updates would be the most appropriate recommendation to implement a cost-effective and quick solution for tax rate calculations based on locality and region."
Its A & E. I was a salesforce developer. Its asking for calculation of tax when you add products to an order depending on locality etc. What does a power BI report or an alert have to do with this. It can be done with third party software that will sit on the platform or with code in trigger form.
Reading several comments, I realized that the "multiple warehouse" is not really put into consideration. Since the warehouses are in different region, I don't see anything quick about checking AppSource for a tax add-on for each warehouse in their different regions, let just assume there are 50 warehouses in 29 regions altogether. The keyword "quickly" cannot be attached to this instance.
But running a Power BI report can take all considerations in this instance into account and produce the expected result. With Power BI, it is easy to filter to specific locality or region and see and capture what is the current tax rate charge just at one sitting.
The best solution that I can recommend is A. Check AppSource for a tax add-on.
AppSource is a marketplace where you can find and try various apps and add-ons that extend the functionality of Dynamics 365 Finance and other Microsoft products1. There are many tax add-ons
A. AppSource is Microsoft's marketplace for various business applications and add-ons, including tax calculation solutions. It offers a wide range of pre-built, third-party tax add-ons that can be easily integrated into your existing systems, such as Dynamics 365 Finance. These add-ons are designed to handle complex tax calculations based on locality and region, saving you time and development effort.
Options B, C, D, and E are less likely to provide a quick and cost-effective solution
Ans: Run a Power BI report (D)
Reason: With Power BI, you can filter to specific locality or region and see what is going on there, and then calculate based on the numbers, what the rate will be. And remember, the problems seems to be GETTING TAX RATES CHARGES BASED ON LOCALITY AND REGION. Sounds like filtering is the way out here.
A is correct
AppSource is a marketplace provided by Microsoft for finding and implementing various add-ons and extensions for their products, including Dynamics 365 Finance. By checking AppSource for a tax add-on that is highly rated and widely used (Most Voted), you can likely find a ready-made solution that can handle tax rate calculations based on locality and region. This can save time and resources compared to building a custom solution from scratch.
The best option is A. Check AppSource for a tax add-on.
This is the most cost-effective and quick solution. There are many tax add-ons available on AppSource that can be easily integrated with Dynamics 365 Finance. These add-ons can calculate tax rates based on locality and region, and they can be implemented quickly.
Option B is not a good solution because it would require the company to create and maintain their own tax table. This would be a time-consuming and expensive process.
Option C is not a good solution because the Common Data Model is not designed for tax calculation. It would require a lot of custom development to make it work for this purpose.
Option D is not a good solution because a Power BI report would only show historical tax data. It would not be able to calculate tax rates in real time.
Option E is not a good solution because it would require a lot of technical expertise to write and maintain the scripts.
