C_THR81 Practice Test 10 — 10 Questions

Question 1

An administrator needs to create a new Foundation Object to store 'Job Classification' data. The object must be available for selection in the Job Information portlet. Which step is required to make the new Foundation Object selectable in Job Information?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Create a picklist based on the Foundation Object and associate it with the relevant field.. The correct method is to create a picklist that uses the Foundation Object as its data source and then associate that picklist with the relevant field in Job Information. This ensures that the values from the Foundation Object are available for selection. Other options describe incorrect or non-existent configuration steps.

Answer

Add the object to the 'Job Information' portlet's field configuration.

Answer

Assign the Foundation Object to the 'Job Information' permission role.

Answer

Enable the 'Selectable in Job Information' checkbox on the Foundation Object definition.

Question 2

An administrator is configuring the Employee Central 'Job Information' portlet. The company requires that when an employee's 'Employee Class' is changed to 'Executive', the 'Bonus Plan' field must be automatically set to 'Executive Plan'. Which configuration achieves this requirement with minimal maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule that triggers on change of Employee Class and sets the Bonus Plan field to 'Executive Plan' when the new value is 'Executive'.. A business rule on the Job Information object that triggers when Employee Class changes is the most efficient way to automatically set the Bonus Plan field. It ensures immediate consistency, applies to all employees, and requires minimal ongoing maintenance. Other options either do not automate the population or involve inappropriate tools like workflows or picklist dependencies.

Answer

Configure a picklist dependency so that the 'Bonus Plan' field only shows 'Executive Plan' when Employee Class is 'Executive'.

Answer

Use a workflow rule that triggers on save of Job Information and updates the Bonus Plan field.

Answer

Set the default value of the 'Bonus Plan' field to 'Executive Plan' and make it read-only for Executives.

Question 3

A global company uses Employee Central and needs to track employees' professional licenses. Each employee can have multiple licenses, and each license record must include the license type, issue date, and expiry date. The company wants to be able to report on licenses expiring within the next 30 days. Which configuration approach should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Create a new MDF object 'EmployeeLicense' with a many-to-one association to the Employee object, and configure fields for license type, issue date, and expiry date. Use a report to filter licenses expiring within 30 days.. To track multiple licenses per employee, a custom MDF object is needed with a many-to-one association to the Employee object. This allows each license record to reference one employee while an employee can have many license records. The fields for license type, issue date, and expiry date are stored on the custom object. A report can then filter on the expiry date to find licenses expiring within 30 days, meeting the reporting requirement.

Answer

Add three custom fields to the Job Information portlet to store license type, issue date, and expiry date, and use a report to filter licenses expiring within 30 days.

Answer

Create a new MDF object 'EmployeeLicense' with a one-to-one association to the Employee object, and configure fields for license type, issue date, and expiry date. Use a report to filter licenses expiring within 30 days.

Answer

Create a new foundation object 'LicenseType' and associate it with the Employee object using a one-to-many association, and use a report to filter licenses expiring within 30 days.

Question 4

An administrator needs to create a new MDF object to track employee certifications. The object must store the certification name, issue date, and expiry date. The certification name should be selected from a predefined list of valid certifications. Which configuration step is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Create a picklist for certification names and assign it to the certification name field.. The certification name must be selected from a predefined list, which is exactly what a picklist provides. Configuring a picklist for that field ensures data consistency and ease of use. The other options either do not provide a selection list or are unnecessarily complex for the stated requirement.

Answer

Create a business rule to validate the certification name against an external system.

Answer

Set the certification name field as a text field and use a business rule to restrict values.

Answer

Create a separate MDF object for certifications and use an association field.

Question 5

An administrator needs to configure a custom field in the Job Information block that dynamically populates based on the selection of the Department field. Which feature must be utilized to achieve this dependency mapping efficiently?

Accepted Answer

Business Rules triggered onOnChange of the Department field. Business Rules are the standard configuration mechanism in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to establish field-to-field dependencies, trigger dynamic UI changes, and enforce data validation across MDF and legacy blocks. Utilizing a business rule ensures seamless user experience and maintains data integrity during hire and job change processes without requiring custom client-side script interventions.

Question 6

A company uses Employee Central with Position Management. An HR administrator needs to create a new position for a senior engineer. The position must be linked to the existing job classification 'Senior Engineer' and must inherit the job classification's pay grade. However, the administrator notices that the pay grade field on the position is not automatically populated. What is the most likely reason for this issue?

Accepted Answer

The job classification 'Senior Engineer' does not have a pay grade assigned to it.. The most likely reason is that the job classification 'Senior Engineer' does not have a pay grade assigned. In Employee Central Position Management, the position inherits the pay grade from the job classification. If the job classification lacks a pay grade, the position's pay grade field remains empty. The administrator should first assign a pay grade to the job classification.

Answer

The pay grade field on the position is not configured to be derived from the job classification.

Answer

The job classification must be associated with a legal entity for the pay grade to be inherited.

Answer

The position's pay grade field is not included in the position object's field configuration.

Question 7

An administrator is configuring the 'Job Information' portlet in Employee Central. The organization requires that when an employee's 'Employee Class' is changed to 'Executive', the 'Pay Grade' field must be automatically set to a specific value based on the executive level. The administrator plans to use a business rule to achieve this. Which two actions must the administrator perform to ensure the business rule correctly sets the Pay Grade? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on the 'Employee Class' field change.. The administrator must create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on the 'Employee Class' field change and includes a 'Set' action to assign the Pay Grade. These two actions ensure that when the Employee Class is updated, the rule evaluates and automatically populates the Pay Grade field with the correct value.

Answer

Create a workflow that routes the Pay Grade change for approval.

Answer

Configure the 'Pay Grade' field as a read-only field in the Job Information configuration.

Answer

Add a 'Valid When' condition to the Pay Grade field to ensure it matches the Employee Class.

Question 8

An employee transfers from a position in the United States to a new position in Germany. The administrator must ensure that the employee's Job Information record reflects the new legal entity, pay scale, and work location, and that the change is effective on the transfer date. Which action should the administrator take?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'Transfer' action in the Take Action menu on the Job Information portlet to create a new record with the new legal entity, pay scale, and work location, effective on the transfer date.. The Transfer action is the standard method to move an employee to a new position, legal entity, or location while preserving their employment history. It creates a new effective-dated Job Information record with the updated data and automatically ends the previous record. This ensures accurate historical reporting and seamless integration with payroll and benefits.

Answer

Edit the existing Job Information record directly and change the legal entity, pay scale, and work location fields to the new values.

Answer

Create a new Employment Info record with the new legal entity and work location, and set the original record's end date to the day before the transfer.

Answer

Create a new Job Information record using the 'Add New Employee' function, and then terminate the original record.

Question 9

A company has a business rule that triggers on the Job Information object when the Event Reason is 'Promotion'. The rule must update the employee's Pay Grade based on the new Job Classification. However, the rule is not firing when a promotion is processed via the 'Promote' action. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The rule's trigger condition is set to fire only on the 'Save' event, but the 'Promote' action uses a different event or the rule is not associated with the correct event reason.. Business rules in Employee Central can be triggered by specific actions or events. The 'Promote' action may not automatically trigger a rule configured only for the 'Save' event. The rule must be associated with the correct event reason or action, and the trigger condition must include that action. This ensures the rule fires when the promotion is processed.

Answer

The Pay Grade field is not enabled for business rule updates in the Employee Central configuration.

Answer

The business rule requires a scheduled job to run after the promotion is saved, but no job has been scheduled.

Answer

The business rule is configured on the wrong object; it should be on the Employment Info object.

Question 10

An administrator needs to configure the Employee Central Foundation Object 'Event Reason' to support a new business process. The company requires that when an employee is terminated, the event reason 'Resignation' triggers a specific workflow and updates the employee's status to 'Terminated'. The administrator must ensure that the event reason is only available for the Termination event and that it is mapped to the correct employee status. Which configuration is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Create a new Event Reason with Event Type 'Termination', map it to Employee Status 'Terminated', and assign the workflow.. The Event Reason must be associated with the Event Type 'Termination' to ensure it is only available for termination events. Mapping it to Employee Status 'Terminated' ensures the employee's status is updated correctly. Assigning the workflow triggers the required business process. This combination fulfills all the stated requirements for the new business process.

Answer

Create a new Event Reason with Event Type 'Termination', map it to Employee Status 'Terminated', but do not assign a workflow.

Answer

Create a new Event Reason with Event Type 'Resignation', map it to Employee Status 'Terminated', and assign the workflow.

Answer

Create a new Event Reason with Event Type 'Termination', map it to Employee Status 'Resignation', and assign the workflow.
