The MB-335 exam validates expert-level proficiency in designing and configuring Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management solutions to meet complex, real-world business requirements. Candidates demonstrate mastery of end-to-end supply chain processes, including product information management, production control across discrete, process, and lean manufacturing methods, engineering change management, advanced master planning with Planning Optimization, and integration of technologies such as Copilot and mixed reality within Dynamics 365. The exam was updated on June 20, 2025, reflecting expanded coverage of discrete and lean manufacturing, constraint-based product configuration, and Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP).
Beyond core supply chain mechanics, the exam tests the ability to design scalable, reliable architectures that map complex business requirements to Dynamics 365 capabilities. This includes configuring costing sheets and production costing, managing subcontracting flows for both discrete and process manufacturing, implementing rebate management, and executing intercompany master planning scenarios. Certified professionals are expected to partner with solution architects, developers, and business stakeholders to deliver implementations that adhere to industry-recommended practices.
This certification targets senior functional consultants and implementation specialists who work with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management in complex, enterprise-scale environments. Typical candidates hold roles such as Supply Chain Functional Consultant Expert, Senior ERP Functional Consultant, or Principal Dynamics 365 Consultant at Microsoft partner organizations or large enterprises. Professionals who specialize in manufacturing industries—discrete, process, or lean—will find this exam particularly relevant to formalizing their expertise.
Candidates typically possess hands-on experience configuring and implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management across multiple functional areas and are comfortable analyzing complex cross-functional business requirements. Those who have already earned the Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Associate credential (via MB-330) and are looking to advance to an expert-level designation represent the primary audience for MB-335.
Earning the Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert certification requires holding the Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Associate certification, which is obtained by passing Exam MB-330. MB-330 covers core supply chain operations including warehouse management, transportation management, procurement, and foundational master planning—knowledge that is assumed and built upon in MB-335. Microsoft strongly recommends completing MB-330 before attempting MB-335.
Beyond the formal prerequisite, candidates should have substantial hands-on experience configuring production environments in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, including costing, scheduling, and manufacturing execution. Familiarity with advanced product configuration models, engineering change management workflows, Planning Optimization, and at least one manufacturing method (discrete, process, or lean) is essential. Experience working directly with solution architects and business stakeholders on full-cycle Dynamics 365 implementations is strongly recommended.
Exam MB-335 is delivered through Pearson VUE and is available in English and Japanese (localized versions are updated approximately eight weeks after the English version). The exam duration is 120 minutes and requires a passing score of 700 out of 1000 on Microsoft's scaled scoring system. Microsoft does not publish the exact number of questions for this exam, and the count can vary per delivery; candidates should expect a range typical of Microsoft role-based expert exams, which commonly include 40–60 scored items.
Question types may include multiple choice, case studies, drag-and-drop, active screen (lab-style simulations), and best-answer scenarios. Most questions cover generally available (GA) features, though questions on Preview features may appear if those features are in common use. Candidates may request accommodations such as additional time or assistive tools through the Microsoft accommodations process before scheduling. Microsoft also offers a free Practice Assessment with sample questions at the official MB-335 exam page.
The Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert credential positions holders for senior consulting and lead implementation roles in organizations running Dynamics 365 at scale. Common job titles held by certified professionals include Senior Supply Chain Functional Consultant, Dynamics 365 Solution Architect, Principal ERP Consultant, and Supply Chain Practice Lead. The expert-level designation differentiates candidates from associate-level peers and is particularly valued at Microsoft partner organizations where it contributes to Microsoft Partner Network competency requirements.
In the United States, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management functional consultants with expert-level experience and certifications typically earn between $90,000 and $130,000 annually, with senior and principal consultant roles at the higher end of this range. The certification is recognized across manufacturing, retail, distribution, and logistics industries, all of which have significant investments in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Because MB-335 covers emerging capabilities such as Planning Optimization, DDMRP, and Copilot integration in Dynamics 365, certified professionals are well-positioned for roles that require bridging traditional supply chain expertise with modern cloud-based ERP capabilities.

1. Apex Electronics manufactures custom computer systems. They have created a production order for 50 gaming computers and prepared all necessary documentation. The materials manager has verified that all components are available in the warehouse, and the production schedule has been finalized. The production supervisor wants to make the order visible to the shop floor workers so they can begin picking materials and starting manufacturing operations. What status must the production order reach before workers can start production activities?
Explanation
Released is the correct status that makes the production order available to the shop floor for production. When a production order is released, it leaves the front office planning stage and becomes available to the shop floor for actual production activities. At this point, production order documents such as job cards, route cards, and route jobs can be printed. The release status signals that the order has been estimated and scheduled, and is now ready for production workers to begin operations. Jobs will become visible in the Job Card Terminal and Job Card Device after release, allowing workers to start picking materials and beginning manufacturing operations. Estimated status occurs earlier in the production lifecycle after running material and cost estimation but before the order is ready for shop floor execution. Scheduled status indicates that operations or job scheduling has been completed but the order has not yet been released to production. Started status comes after Release and indicates that production has actually begun, but Release is the prerequisite status that makes the order available to the shop floor. Apex Electronics must ensure the order reaches Released status so their production supervisor can authorize shop floor workers to access the order, print necessary documentation, begin material picking, and prepare for manufacturing operations. The release process represents the formal handoff from planning to execution.
2. Litware Corporation has production equipment that requires maintenance after every 10,000 units produced. They want the system to automatically create work orders when this threshold is reached. What interval type should they select for their maintenance plan line?
Explanation
Once reached above is the correct interval type for counter-based maintenance plans where you want to trigger maintenance when a counter exceeds a specific threshold (10,000 units). This interval type indicates an upper limit, and when exceeded during counter registration, a maintenance schedule line is created. Repeated from plan date and start date are for recurring maintenance, while Linked from start date is for one-time linked maintenance activities.
3. ProcessFlow Manufacturing wants to establish work order priorities that automatically calculate start and end dates. They need a Medium priority level where work orders should start 2 days after creation and be completed within 5 days of the start date. This priority will help with scheduling and resource planning. What should they configure to establish these automated timing requirements?
Explanation
Service levels are designed to define work order priorities and automatically calculate timing requirements. By setting up a Medium service level with Start day = 2 and End day = 5, ProcessFlow can ensure that work orders with this priority automatically get appropriate start and end dates calculated when created. Service levels integrate with work order scheduling to help with resource planning and priority management. Work order lifecycle states control workflow progression, maintenance job type variants define job variations, and scheduled execution handles specific timing requirements, but service levels are the primary mechanism for establishing priority-based timing calculations.
4. GlobalRetail Corporation wants to provide their customers with self-service capabilities to view order history, create new orders, and manage account information through an external website connected to their Supply Chain Management system. What solution provides this customer-facing functionality?
Explanation
Customer portal is a Power Pages template that allows businesses to create externally facing websites for customers connected to Supply Chain Management. Out-of-the-box functionality includes viewing order history, viewing account information, creating orders, and preconfigured web roles and permissions. The portal uses dual-write integration and requires minimal coding while being customizable for branding and functionality. Sales and marketing is an internal module, not a customer-facing portal. Vendor collaboration is designed for vendors, not customers. Intercompany trade handles transactions between legal entities, not customer self-service.
5. Coastal Manufacturing wants to understand what benefits they will gain from converting their standard products to engineering products. What capabilities do engineering products provide that standard products do not? (Select two)
Multiple correct answersExplanation
Engineering products provide the ability to create versions of products and trace changes made throughout their life, as well as integration with Engineering Change Management to track changes using change orders. These are the primary benefits that distinguish engineering products from standard products. Enhanced forecasting, automatic cost calculations, production scheduling optimization, and quality management workflows are not specific benefits of engineering products over standard products.
