C_ARSUM Ariba Supplier Management Practice Question
Exhibit
{ "policy": "Restrict_Registration", "conditions": [ { "field": "country", "value": "Restricted_List" } ], "action": "Block_Submission" }Refer to the exhibit. What happens when a supplier from a country on the 'Restricted_List' attempts to submit their registration?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates might assume the system simply flags the supplier for manual review, failing to recognize that the policy is explicitly configured to block the submission automatically.
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 submission is blocked automatically.
The JSON policy defines a conditional block where the registration submission is prevented if the supplier's country matches the restricted list. This is a critical automated control for global compliance. By enforcing these restrictions in the registration phase, the organization minimizes the risk of doing business with sanctioned entities, ensuring that all suppliers meet international trade requirements before they can ever be onboarded into the procurement 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.
- ✗
The registration is submitted but flagged for manual review.
Why it's wrong here
The policy action is explicitly set to 'Block_Submission', not 'Flag_for_Review'. This indicates a hard stop, not a workflow redirection. A flagging action would require a different policy configuration, whereas this current setup is designed to prevent the submission entirely to ensure strict adherence to the restricted country policy.
- ✓
The submission is blocked automatically.
Why this is correct
The JSON policy logic explicitly defines an action of 'Block_Submission' when the condition 'country' matches 'Restricted_List'. This is a direct, system-enforced rule that prevents the supplier from completing the registration process, thereby mitigating the risk of non-compliance at the earliest possible stage in the supplier onboarding lifecycle.
- ✗
The system prompts the user to enter a justification.
Why it's wrong here
The defined policy does not include a prompt for justification. It is a binary, rule-based block that halts the process. Any attempt to introduce justification would require additional code or configuration parameters that are absent from this policy, which is currently configured to enforce a hard stop on submissions.
- ✗
The registration is accepted but marked as 'High Risk'.
Why it's wrong here
Accepting the registration would contradict the 'Block_Submission' action defined in the policy. The system is instructed to block, not to accept or categorize. Any classification as 'High Risk' would happen as a secondary step, but the primary action here is the total prevention of the registration submission process.
