Oracle Financials Cloud: Accounts Receivable 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 51

Your organization is implementing Supplier Qualification Management (SQM) and wants the supplier qualification process to be executed with segregation of duties in the following manner:
- for qualification management (Vendor development team-VD)
- independent evaluation (Procurement Department-PD)
- involvement of internal subject matter experts (SME)
Identify the correct setup to meet this requirement.

Answer options

• A. initiatives created and owned by VD, internal response and evaluation by SME
• B. initiatives created and owned by PD, internal response by VD, and evaluation by SME
• C. initiatives created and owned by VD, internal response by SME, and evaluation by PD
• D. initiatives created and owned by VD, internal response by PD, and evaluation by SME

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it ensures that the Vendor development team (VD) creates and owns the initiatives, while the internal response is provided by the subject matter experts (SME), and the Procurement Department (PD) conducts the evaluation, maintaining the required segregation of duties. Options A, B, and D fail to align the roles correctly as they either misassign responsibilities or do not involve the necessary independent evaluation by PD.
