SAP C_ARP2P_2508 Exam - Topic 5 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for SAP's C_ARP2P_2508 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 5

SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing, a blanket purchase order (BPO) is a subtype of the contract document. What additional functionality does the BPO provide?

ABPOs require a maximum amount. The supplier always sees the total amount and can view it as Contract on the SAP Business Network.

BBPOs must switch amount and quantity. The supplier always sees the total amount and the supplier sees it as a PO on the SAP Business Network.

CBPOs require a maximum amount. The total amount of BPO can be hidden and the supplier sees the it as a PO on the SAP Business Network.

DBPOs require a minimum amount and are sent to the supplier as contracts only on the SAP Business Network.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Solution:

I wasn't able to access the specific learning.sap.com content to conclusively determine which one of these is correct. Based on common SAP Ariba documentation outside of the portal, the typical behavior of BPOs in the system is:

* They require a maximum amount (a cap).

* The supplier sees individual purchase orders against the BPO, rather than seeing it as a contract with a lump-sum amount.

Given those attributes, the answer most aligned with standard SAP Ariba functionality is:

C. BPOs require a maximum amount. The total amount of BPO can be hidden and the supplier sees it as a PO on the SAP Business Network.

However, since this is based on general SAP Ariba behavior and not directly cited from learning.sap.com, I'd recommend checking the relevant module or help within learning.sap.com to confirm. If you can share the module name or a quotation, I'd be happy to verify further!

I feel like the supplier always sees the total amount, but I can't remember if it's as a contract or a PO.

I practiced a question about BPOs requiring a minimum amount, but I don't recall if that's the case here.

I think BPOs are similar to regular POs, but they might have some unique visibility features on the SAP Business Network.

Okay, I think I've got it. The BPO has a maximum amount that the supplier can see, and it's sent to the supplier as a PO on the network, not a contract. The tricky part is remembering that the total amount can be hidden from the supplier.

I've worked with BPOs before, so I think I've got a handle on this. The key difference is that BPOs require a maximum amount, which the supplier can always see. And the supplier views it as a PO on the network, not a contract.

BPOs definitely have a max amount limit.

I remember that BPOs have a maximum amount, but I'm not sure if the supplier can see the total amount or not.

Hmm, this is tricky. I know BPOs are a subtype of contract, but the details around the amount and how the supplier sees it are a bit unclear to me. I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully.

Haha, I bet the supplier wishes they could see the total amount. Gotta love those hidden BPO details!

B could work too. Suppliers need clarity on POs.

Okay, let me see. I think the main thing is that a BPO has a maximum amount, unlike a regular contract. But I'm not sure about the visibility to the supplier - is the total amount always shown or can it be hidden?

I'm not too familiar with SAP Ariba, so I'll need to think this through carefully. The key seems to be understanding the differences between a BPO and a regular contract document.
