C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
A procurement analyst needs to view a consolidated summary of a supplier's profile, including registration data, qualifications, and performance metrics, in SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance. Which feature provides this consolidated view?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that any report containing supplier data, such as a risk report, provides the full consolidated view, when only Supplier 360 aggregates all lifecycle information.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Supplier 360 profile
Supplier 360 profile is the SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance feature that consolidates supplier information, including registration, qualification, performance, and risk data, into a single view. Sourcing event history, contract workspace summary, and supplier risk report each cover only a narrow slice of supplier data. For a comprehensive summary, Supplier 360 is the correct choice.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Supplier 360 profile
Why this is correct
Supplier 360 profile in SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance is designed to present a consolidated view of a supplier. It aggregates registration information, qualification status, performance scores, risk data, and other relevant details in one place. This makes it the correct feature for an analyst who needs a comprehensive summary of the supplier's standing.
- ✗
Sourcing event history
Why it's wrong here
Sourcing event history shows past bid events and their outcomes, such as participants, bids, and awards. It does not include registration data, qualification status, or performance metrics. While useful for sourcing analysis, it is limited to event-related information and does not provide the consolidated supplier overview required here.
- ✗
Supplier risk report
Why it's wrong here
Supplier risk reports focus on risk indicators, scores, and exposure. While they may include some supplier data, they do not provide the broad consolidated view of registration, qualification, and performance that Supplier 360 offers. Using a risk report alone would give a partial picture and miss other key supplier lifecycle information.
- ✗
Contract workspace summary
Why it's wrong here
Contract workspace summary focuses on contract documents, terms, and statuses. It does not aggregate supplier registration, qualification, or performance data. An analyst looking for a full supplier picture would not find it in contract workspaces, which are scoped to individual contracts rather than the supplier as a whole.
