Key Topics to Focus on for C_ARCIG_2508
Hey everyone,
I’m currently preparing for the C_ARCIG_2508 exam, and I figured it would be helpful to start a thread where we can talk about the most important topics to focus on. This certification can be tricky because it mixes both technical integration and real-world SAP Ariba workflow scenarios, so knowing what to prioritize makes a big difference.
From my own study and after reviewing multiple materials, here are the key areas that seem to appear the most in the C_ARCIG_2508 exam:
Integration Setup and Configuration – Make sure you understand how SAP Ariba integrates with SAP ERP or S/4HANA using the Cloud Integration Gateway. A lot of questions test your understanding of the flow between systems.
Document Mapping and Transactions – Expect questions that focus on how purchase orders, invoices, and confirmations are mapped between systems. The details around message types and XML configurations matter.
Error Handling and Monitoring – One of the trickier parts of the C_ARCIG_2508 exam is understanding how to troubleshoot failed transactions. Learn where to check logs and how to interpret common integration errors.
System Landscape and Deployment – You’ll likely see questions about environment setup (test vs production), CIG tenant configuration, and connection testing.
Master Data and Security – Understanding vendor, buyer, and material synchronization is essential, as well as user roles and authorization management.
I used Pass4Future while preparing, and their material really helped me narrow down these high-value topics. The SAP certification exams questions they provided were especially useful because they mirror the type of scenario-based logic you’ll see on the real test. It’s not just about memorization; you actually need to think through the process steps.
My advice:
Spend time on hands-on practice with integration testing.
Review all available configuration guides and troubleshooting examples.
Use mock exams to build your timing and confidence.
For me, the C_ARCIG_2508 required a mix of practical experience and structured revision. Once I focused on these topics, everything started to make more sense.
