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 user is prevented from submitting the questionnaire until the specific attachments are provided.
The policy mandates that specific documents are uploaded before the registration can be submitted. By using 'block_on_submission', the system prevents the supplier from finishing the questionnaire until the required files are present. This ensures that the procurement team receives complete documentation packages, significantly reducing the back-and-forth communication needed to correct missing information and ensuring that internal compliance teams have the necessary evidence to approve the supplier immediately.
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 will be marked as 'Pending' if the files are missing.
Why it's wrong here
The 'block_on_submission' setting prevents the action from being completed entirely, meaning the registration status does not reach 'Pending' if mandatory files are absent. The user is stopped at the interface level, forcing immediate remediation of the missing documents before the submission can even be registered by the system.
- ✗
The system will automatically email the supplier to request the missing files.
Why it's wrong here
The policy is a blocking mechanism, not an automated notification engine. While the system may send notifications for other tasks, this specific policy restricts the UI action of clicking 'Submit.' The supplier is informed of the requirement in real-time through a validation error message in the browser interface.
- ✓
The user is prevented from submitting the questionnaire until the specific attachments are provided.
Why this is correct
The 'block_on_submission' enforcement action effectively disables the submit button or displays a validation block until the system detects the required document types in the attachment field. This ensures that the registration data is complete at the point of entry, adhering to the organization's mandatory documentation requirements.
- ✗
Attachments will be automatically scanned for viruses before submission.
Why it's wrong here
While document scanning is a standard feature of the Ariba platform, this JSON policy specifically targets the presence and type of mandatory documents, not the scanning process itself. This policy is strictly about data completeness and compliance verification, independent of the security scanning capabilities that run in the background.
