C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
Exhibit
{
"policy": "Disallow_Supplier_Registration",
"scope": "Region=EU",
"condition": "Missing_Tax_ID"
}Refer to the exhibit. Given the provided JSON policy snippet, what is the impact on a supplier attempting to register in the EU region without a Tax ID?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates incorrectly believe that missing regional tax details will only trigger a warning or notification, rather than resulting in a complete and automatic block of the registration.
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
✓
The registration is blocked automatically
The exhibit illustrates a policy constraint that prevents registration if a mandatory data field (Tax ID) is absent within a specific geographic scope (EU). This demonstrates how Ariba SLP leverages conditional logic to enforce regional compliance. Understanding this configuration is vital for administrators who must balance global standardization with local regulatory requirements, ensuring that the system automatically blocks non-compliant entries without requiring manual intervention by procurement teams.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The registration proceeds with a warning flag
Why it's wrong here
The policy implies a strict disallowance, not a warning. In the context of regulatory compliance, allowing registration with a warning would expose the organization to legal risks. The system configuration is designed to enforce hard stops based on specific business rules defined in the policy.
- ✓
The registration is blocked automatically
Why this is correct
The policy explicitly specifies a 'Disallow' action when the condition of a missing Tax ID is met within the EU region. This configuration forces the system to prevent the registration submission, ensuring that all European vendors comply with tax identification requirements before onboarding.
- ✗
The registration is redirected to the manual approval queue
Why it's wrong here
Redirecting to an approval queue would imply the registration can still potentially proceed, which contradicts the 'Disallow' policy defined in the snippet. The policy is meant to prevent the entry of incomplete records, not to route them for manual review by procurement staff.
- ✗
The policy is ignored if the supplier has a D-U-N-S number
Why it's wrong here
The JSON policy snippet provided does not define an exception for D-U-N-S numbers. In strict configuration environments, internal policies are applied as written; if a Tax ID is required, the presence of other identifiers does not override the specific validation rules for tax compliance.
