A Supplier Registration Manager can change a linked contact's primary designation but not the email address. The person and SAP Business Network account are both correct. Where must the contact's email address be corrected?
Correct answer: A - Have the supplier contact update the email address in their SAP Business Network profile.
Minutes after denying an external questionnaire during initial registration, an approver realizes the denial was a mistake. The submitted answers remain accurate; another registration questionnaire is already approved. A Supplier Registration Manager must have the denied answers reconsidered without asking the supplier to submit them again. Which recovery preserves the valid submissions?
Correct answer: B - Open the denied questionnaire's approval task and start a New Round.
An authorized process initiator is renewing an IT-support qualification that covers Germany only. The registered supplier is expanding into Austria, but Region is locked despite correct permissions. How can the buyer establish the Austrian qualification?
Correct answer: C - Create an Austrian qualification process on the existing supplier.
Procurement wants level-1 preferred status for a registered supplier for industrial sensors across Europe. The parent qualification process is Approved, but a subordinate qualification for France is Denied for the same commodity and department. The requester belongs to Preferred Supplier Manager. Why is the requested European scope not eligible?
Correct answer: C - The denied French subordinate qualification prevents full qualification for the requested European scope.
An IT services supplier is already registered and qualified for the relevant commodity, region, and department. A new assignment within that scope will give its consultants privileged access to production payroll systems. The buyer needs security-control evidence, effectiveness decisions, and approval for this particular assignment. Which process supplies that assurance?
Correct answer: D - Conduct a control-based engagement risk assessment for the assignment.
A supplier site has two GDACS alerts for the same flood: orange, five days old; green, one day old. With no red alert for this flood, identify its current contribution to SAP Ariba Supplier Risk exposure.
Correct answer: A - Medium, because the earlier orange alert is still within its contributing period.
One Supplier-by-Quarter pivot must show purchase-order amounts, invoice amounts, receipt amounts, and contract counts. The four selected facts share Supplier and date dimensions, but no transaction-level relationship connects all four. Each fact must contribute its own records for the selected quarter. Choose the report architecture that preserves this requirement.
Correct answer: B - Aggregate by common dimension, mapping Supplier and each fact's date field.
"Delivery Reliability" appears as three separate KPIs in enterprise SPM reporting despite identical names, weights, scoring, and periods. Each regional template's KPI was created independently. For future projects, what would establish a common KPI identity?
Correct answer: C - Copy the same master KPI from the Sourcing Library into each regional template.
At a rail operator, a supplier's braking-assembly overhaul is scheduled for tonight. The required independent-verification control has an Approved assessment and a Resolved corrective-action issue, but its effectiveness review is still open. Different people own these three decisions; all other required control reviews are complete. What must occur before final engagement approval?
Correct answer: D - The assigned control decision maker should complete the effectiveness review.
In SAP Ariba Supplier Risk, an analyst reports 32 for a custom risk category configured as follows: all three factors have Medium weight; available normalized exposures are 18 and 78; the third factor has no data. The analyst inserted zero for the missing value. Evaluate the reported result.
Correct answer: B - 48; calculate from the two available, equally weighted factors.
