C_THR81 Practice Test 2 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A global company using SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central has employees who work in multiple countries during a single year. The HR team needs to record each country assignment with its own start and end dates and pay scale information, while keeping the primary job record intact. Which configuration should the administrator implement?

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

Accepted Answer

Enable the Global Assignment object and associate it with the employee's Job Information. The Global Assignment object exists specifically to record host-country assignments alongside the home assignment, each with independent dates and pay scale data. Using it keeps the primary Job Information record intact while giving the HR team a structured, reportable way to manage employees who work in more than one country during the year.

Answer

Create multiple Job Information records with overlapping effective dates for each country

Answer

Configure a business rule that changes the employee's Legal Entity each time the country changes

Answer

Add a custom MDF object that stores country names as free text on the employee record

Question 2

An administrator is configuring the Employee Central 'Time Off' setup and needs to ensure that employees in a specific country accrue leave based on their length of service, with different accrual rates at one year, three years, and five years. The accrual must be calculated automatically and posted on a schedule. Which configuration element should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

A Time Account with accrual rules defined in the Time Off configuration. Time Accounts with accrual rules are the standard mechanism for earning leave balances, and accrual rules can be tiered by length of service and scheduled to post automatically. Configuring the rule with the one-year, three-year, and five-year thresholds ensures each employee accrues at the correct rate for their country without manual intervention.

Answer

A business rule on the Job Information object that manually adds leave days each year

Answer

A Work Schedule that assigns daily working hours to the employee

Answer

A Time Type that records absences without any accrual configuration

Question 3

An administrator is configuring the Employee Central 'Job Information' portlet for a company that uses multiple employment types (e.g., Regular, Temporary, Intern). The company needs to ensure that when an employee's Employment Type is changed to 'Temporary', the system automatically sets the 'Probation End Date' to exactly 90 days from the start date, and also requires that the 'Contract End Date' be entered. Which two configuration steps are required to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Configure a Business Rule on the Job Information object that triggers on the 'onSave' event and validates that the Contract End Date is not empty when Employment Type is 'Temporary'.. The requirements are twofold: automatically calculate Probation End Date when Employment Type changes to Temporary, and enforce that Contract End Date is entered. A Business Rule on the onChange event of Employment Type can set the Probation End Date using date arithmetic. A separate validation Business Rule on the onSave event can check for Contract End Date when Employment Type is Temporary. These two rules together satisfy both conditions.

Answer

Configure a Business Rule on the Job Information object that triggers on the 'onInit' event to set the Probation End Date when the record is loaded.

Answer

Create a Propagation rule on the Job Information object to copy the Employment Type value to the Probation End Date field.

Answer

Use a Picklist Center configuration to make the Contract End Date field mandatory when Employment Type is 'Temporary'.

Question 4

An administrator is setting up a new MDF object to track employee language skills. The object must allow employees to specify the language, proficiency level, and whether they are a native speaker. The administrator wants to ensure that the proficiency level is selected from a predefined list of values. Which of the following should the administrator do to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a new picklist for proficiency levels and assign it to the 'Proficiency' field of the MDF object.. In MDF, a picklist field type is designed to present a predefined list of values. By creating a picklist for proficiency levels and assigning it to the field, the administrator ensures data consistency and meets the requirement. This is the standard and most efficient method for enforcing a list of allowed values in a custom MDF object.

Answer

Define the proficiency field as a 'String' data type and manually enter the allowed values in the field's description.

Answer

Create a new Foundation Object for proficiency levels and reference it as a 'Composite' field in the MDF object.

Answer

Use a business rule to validate the proficiency field against a list of allowed values stored in a custom MDF object.

Question 5

An HR administrator needs to ensure that when an employee's date of birth is entered in Employee Central, it is automatically validated to be at least 18 years before the current date. Which feature should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Business rule with a date validation on the Date of Birth field in the Personal Information portlet.. A business rule on the Date of Birth field is the correct way to enforce age validation. It can dynamically compare the entered date to the current date and block saving if the employee is under 18. This ensures data accuracy at the point of entry without additional workflows or objects.

Answer

Workflow that requires manager approval if the employee is under 18.

Answer

Custom MDF object to store birth dates and a scheduled job to validate age daily.

Answer

Field-level picklist restriction on the Date of Birth field to only allow dates before a certain year.

Question 6

An HR administrator needs to create a new employee record in Employee Central. The company requires that the employee's 'Country' field in the 'National ID' portlet is automatically populated based on the 'Location' selected in the 'Job Information' portlet. Which tool should the administrator use to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Business rule. A business rule is the appropriate tool to automatically populate the Country field based on Location. It can be triggered on change or save to copy the value, ensuring data consistency without manual entry. Other tools like workflows, picklists, or import templates do not perform dynamic field population.

Answer

Import template

Answer

Workflow

Answer

Picklist

Question 7

An HR administrator needs to create a new employee record in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central. The employee will be based in the United Kingdom and will report to a manager in the Finance department. Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps to create a new employee using the 'Add New Employee' tool?

Accepted Answer

Select the hire date and event reason, then enter biographical data, then job information, then compensation, then review and submit.. The 'Add New Employee' tool in Employee Central uses a guided wizard that starts with selecting the hire date and event reason. This is followed by biographical data, job information, and compensation. The sequence ensures that all necessary data is captured in the correct order to create a complete employee record. The other options either skip the initial step or reorder the steps incorrectly.

Answer

Select the event reason, then enter compensation, then personal data, then job information, then review and submit.

Answer

Enter personal data, then job information, then compensation information, then review and submit.

Answer

Enter job information first, then personal data, then compensation, then review and submit.

Question 8

A consultant is configuring the 'Job Information' portlet in Employee Central. The company requires that when an employee's 'Job Classification' is set to 'Manager', the 'Manager' field must be populated with a valid employee ID. The consultant needs to ensure that the system prevents saving the record if the 'Manager' field is empty. Which configuration should the consultant use to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on save and checks if Job Classification is 'Manager' and Manager is empty, then throws an error.. A business rule on the Job Information object can dynamically enforce conditional mandatory fields. By evaluating the Job Classification and checking the Manager field, the rule can raise an error on save if the condition is violated. This ensures data integrity without making the Manager field universally required, which would be inappropriate for employees who do not have managers.

Answer

Create a workflow rule that sends a notification to the HR administrator if the Manager field is empty for a Manager.

Answer

Configure the 'Manager' field as a required field in the Job Information portlet configuration.

Answer

Set up a picklist dependency so that the Manager field becomes mandatory when Job Classification is 'Manager'.

Question 9

An administrator needs to create a new foundation object to track employee job grades. The object must include fields for grade name, grade code, and a description. The administrator wants to ensure that the grade code is unique and that the object can be used in Job Information. What is the correct first step?

Accepted Answer

Create a new MDF object via Configure Object Definitions and set the object type to 'Foundation Object'.. Creating a new foundation object requires using Configure Object Definitions to define an MDF object of type 'Foundation Object'. This provides the structure for fields such as grade name, grade code, and description, and makes the object available for use in Job Information and other areas. Once defined, data can be imported and business rules can be applied.

Answer

Add a new picklist to the Job Information portlet for job grades.

Answer

Import job grade data using the Import and Export Data tool with a new object definition.

Answer

Configure a business rule to validate job grade entries in the Job Information portlet.

Question 10

A global company uses Employee Central and needs to configure a business rule that assigns a specific 'Works Council' based on the employee's 'Location' and 'Legal Entity'. The rule must run when either Location or Legal Entity changes, and it should set the Works Council field on the Job Information record. Which approach is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Create an OnChange rule on Job Information with trigger fields Location and Legal Entity. A single OnChange rule on Job Information with both Location and Legal Entity as trigger fields is the most appropriate. It fires whenever either field changes, setting the Works Council accordingly. This avoids redundancy and ensures immediate updates, unlike separate rules or OnSave rules that do not trigger on field changes.

Answer

Create an OnSave rule on Job Information that evaluates Location and Legal Entity

Answer

Create a business rule on the Location object that updates the Works Council on Job Information

Answer

Create two separate OnChange rules: one on Location and one on Legal Entity
