SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP Ariba Sourcing 2022 — Question 1

Which event types in SAP Ariba Sourcing can be configured to allow competition so that suppliers can see their bid rank or the current lead bid? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Quick Quote Posting
• B. Request for Proposal
• C. Request for Information
• D. Reverse Auction

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because both 'Request for Proposal' and 'Request for Information' can be configured to show suppliers their bid ranking and the current leading bid. Options A and D do not allow for this type of competitive visibility; 'Quick Quote Posting' is typically a straightforward quoting process without competitive elements, and 'Reverse Auction' focuses on driving prices down rather than ranking bids.
