C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
A supplier manager is reviewing the Supplier 360 profile for a key supplier. They need to quickly assess the supplier's overall health and compliance. Which two types of information are directly accessible from the Supplier 360 profile? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the Supplier 360 profile contains every piece of supplier data, including detailed financials or sourcing event history, when it actually focuses on summarized qualification and performance information.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Supplier's current qualification status and expiry dates
The Supplier 360 profile is designed to provide a holistic view of a supplier's relationship with the buying organization. It aggregates data from various modules, prominently featuring the supplier's qualification status and expiry dates, as well as performance scorecards and KPI trends. These two elements are essential for quickly assessing overall health and compliance. Other details like financial statements, org charts, or full sourcing event lists are either not included or require accessing separate areas of the system.
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's current qualification status and expiry dates
Why this is correct
The Supplier 360 profile provides a consolidated view of the supplier's qualification status, including which qualifications are active, pending, or expired, along with their expiry dates. This allows the manager to quickly assess if the supplier is compliant for current engagements and plan for renewals. It is a core component of the profile's health dashboard.
- ✗
The supplier's internal organizational chart with employee names
Why it's wrong here
The Supplier 360 profile does not contain internal organizational charts or employee names of the supplier. Such information is proprietary and not typically shared or stored in the buyer's supplier management system. The profile focuses on business-level data relevant to the buyer-supplier relationship, such as certifications and performance metrics.
- ✓
Performance scorecards and historical KPI trends
Why this is correct
The Supplier 360 profile includes performance scorecards that summarize the supplier's performance across various projects, along with historical trends of key performance indicators (KPIs). This enables the manager to evaluate the supplier's reliability and quality over time. It is a key feature for ongoing supplier management and decision-making.
- ✗
A list of all sourcing events the supplier has participated in
Why it's wrong here
While sourcing event participation might be referenced in the supplier's history, the Supplier 360 profile does not provide a comprehensive list of all sourcing events. It may show recent awards or contracts, but not the full event history. This information is typically found in sourcing project reports or the supplier's event history, not the 360 profile.
- ✗
Detailed financial statements from the supplier's last fiscal year
Why it's wrong here
While financial data may be collected during qualification, the Supplier 360 profile does not typically display detailed financial statements. It may show summary metrics or risk scores derived from financial data, but not the full statements. Accessing detailed financials would require navigating to specific documents or external sources, not the Supplier 360 profile.
