C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
A buyer administrator is configuring a modular questionnaire for a new supplier qualification project. The questionnaire must include a section that only appears when a supplier selects 'Yes' to a question about handling hazardous materials. Which configuration element in the SAP Ariba Supplier Management template should the administrator use to achieve this conditional display?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse conditional display with skip logic or dependent fields, which control navigation or data display but not section visibility.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a 'Visibility Condition' on the section, referencing the hazardous materials question and setting the condition to 'Equals Yes'.
Visibility Conditions are the correct mechanism to conditionally display content in SAP Ariba modular questionnaires. They evaluate responses to earlier questions and show or hide sections or questions accordingly. Using a condition on the section that references the hazardous materials question and checks for 'Yes' ensures the section appears only when relevant, streamlining the supplier's experience.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a 'Skip Logic' rule on the hazardous materials question that jumps the supplier to the end of the questionnaire if they answer 'No'.
Why it's wrong here
Skip Logic can control navigation but does not conditionally display a section within the same page or questionnaire flow. Using skip logic would bypass subsequent questions entirely, which is not the desired behavior. The requirement is to show a section only when 'Yes' is selected, not to skip questions.
- ✗
Add a 'Dependent Field' to the section header that pulls the answer from the hazardous materials question and displays it as a read-only value.
Why it's wrong here
A Dependent Field displays a value from another question but does not control the visibility of a section. It would show the answer but not conditionally reveal or hide the section. This does not achieve the conditional display requirement and would leave the section always visible.
- ✗
Create a separate qualification template for hazardous materials and assign it as a follow-on project after the initial questionnaire is submitted.
Why it's wrong here
Creating a separate template and using a follow-on project would not conditionally display a section within the same questionnaire. It would require an additional project and manual triggering, which does not satisfy the need for an inline conditional section. This approach is unnecessarily complex and does not meet the scenario's requirement.
- ✓
Use a 'Visibility Condition' on the section, referencing the hazardous materials question and setting the condition to 'Equals Yes'.
Why this is correct
Visibility Conditions in modular questionnaires allow sections or questions to be shown or hidden based on responses to earlier questions. By referencing the hazardous materials question and setting the condition to 'Equals Yes', the section will only appear when the supplier selects 'Yes', meeting the requirement exactly.
