C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
A supplier manager notices that a supplier's qualification for a critical commodity was revoked after a risk alert was triggered. The manager wants to understand which risk category caused the revocation and what action to take next. Which SAP Ariba Supplier Risk feature provides this insight?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that performance scorecards or audit logs contain risk alert details, when only the supplier risk dashboard provides categorized risk events and recommended actions.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Supplier risk dashboard with drill-down to the specific risk category and recommended actions
The supplier risk dashboard is the central place to view risk alerts by category and drill into the specific event that caused a qualification revocation. It also provides recommended actions, enabling the manager to understand the cause and determine the appropriate response, such as remediation or re-qualification.
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 registration audit log
Why it's wrong here
The registration audit log tracks changes made during registration, such as submitted information and approvals. It does not record risk alerts or qualification revocations triggered by risk events. It is not designed to explain risk categories or recommend actions.
- ✗
Supplier performance scorecard with historical trend analysis
Why it's wrong here
Performance scorecards focus on delivery, quality, and other performance metrics over time. They do not explain why a risk alert revoked a qualification or what risk category was involved. While useful for performance, they lack the risk event context and recommended actions needed here.
- ✓
Supplier risk dashboard with drill-down to the specific risk category and recommended actions
Why this is correct
The supplier risk dashboard aggregates alerts by category and allows drill-down to the triggering event. It also presents recommended actions, such as initiating a remediation plan or re-evaluating the qualification, which directly answers the manager's need to understand the cause and next steps.
- ✗
Sourcing event history report
Why it's wrong here
Sourcing event history shows past bidding activities and awards. It does not provide information about risk alerts or qualification revocations. The manager would not find the risk category or remediation guidance in sourcing history, so this is not the right tool.
