C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  Use a calculated field that concatenates the parent answer with the child question text to control display order.

  Why it's wrong here

  Calculated fields compute values from other responses; they do not control visibility or branching. Display order is a separate setting and cannot conditionally show or hide a question based on a Yes/No answer in a modular questionnaire.

• ✓

  Set both follow-up questions as conditional and define visibility rules based on the answer to the parent question.

  Why this is correct

  Conditional questions with visibility rules evaluate the parent response and show only the matching child question. This is the designed mechanism in modular questionnaires for branching logic, so the certificate number appears only for Yes and the remediation plan only for No.

• ✗

  Mark the two follow-up questions as optional and rely on the supplier to answer only the relevant one.

  Why it's wrong here

  Making questions optional does not hide them; the supplier still sees both and may answer incorrectly or inconsistently. Optional status controls whether an answer is required for submission, not whether the question is displayed based on a prior response.

• ✗

  Create two separate registration templates and assign the supplier to the appropriate template manually after reviewing the parent answer.

  Why it's wrong here

  Creating separate templates does not provide in-form branching and requires manual intervention, which defeats the purpose of an automated modular questionnaire. The supplier would still see both questions unless the template itself is swapped, which is not dynamic based on an answer.
