C_THR81 Practice Exam 3 — 20 Questions

Question 1

A SuccessFactors administrator is configuring the 'Job Information' portlet and needs to ensure that when an employee's 'Employee Class' changes from 'Regular' to 'Temporary', the system automatically updates the 'Probation End Date' to be 90 days from the change date. The administrator plans to use a business rule. Which two configurations are required to achieve this? (Choose two.)

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

Accepted Answer

In the business rule, set the 'Probation End Date' field to the current date plus 90 days using a calculated expression.. To automatically update Probation End Date when Employee Class changes, you need a business rule that triggers on the onChange event of the Employee Class field. The rule must then calculate the new date as current date plus 90 days and set the Probation End Date field. These two configurations together ensure the field is updated precisely when the triggering change occurs.

Answer

Use a scheduled job to run daily and update the Probation End Date for all employees whose Employee Class is 'Temporary'.

Answer

Create a workflow that sends an email notification to the HR administrator whenever Employee Class changes.

Answer

Configure a field-level validation rule on the 'Employee Class' field to restrict values to 'Regular' and 'Temporary'.

Question 2

A company uses Employee Central and needs to track employee participation in internal training programs. Each employee can attend multiple trainings, and each training can have multiple employees. The administrator must create an MDF object to store this information. Which object type should the administrator create?

Accepted Answer

A junction object that has a many-to-one association to both the Employee object and a Training object.. To model a many-to-many relationship between employees and trainings in MDF, a junction object is required. This object has many-to-one associations to both Employee and Training, with each record representing a unique pairing. This allows efficient tracking of participation and any additional attributes per employee-training combination.

Answer

A MDF object with a multi-select picklist field that lists all available trainings, and assign it to the Employee object.

Answer

A generic object with a many-to-many relationship to the Employee object via a composite association.

Answer

A child object of the Employee object with a field for training name, allowing multiple records per employee.

Question 3

An Employee Central administrator is setting up a new association on a custom MDF object 'EmployeeProjectAssignment'. The association must link each project assignment record to exactly one employee record in the Employee Central 'Employee' object. The administrator needs to ensure the association is configured so that an employee can be linked to many project assignment records, but each project assignment record references only one employee. Which association type should be configured on the 'EmployeeProjectAssignment' object to the 'Employee' object?

Accepted Answer

Many-to-One association with the Employee object as the target. The requirement is that many project assignment records can point to one employee, while each assignment record points to exactly one employee. In MDF, this is modeled as a many-to-one association on the custom object with Employee as the target. This allows multiple records on the custom object to reference the same employee record without allowing a single assignment to reference multiple employees.

Answer

Many-to-Many association with the Employee object as the target

Answer

One-to-One association with the Employee object as the target

Answer

One-to-Many association with the Employee object as the source

Question 4

A consultant is configuring the Employee Central 'Job Information' portlet for a client that uses position management. The client wants to ensure that when a position is changed, the 'Job Code' and 'Cost Center' fields are automatically updated based on the new position. The consultant needs to implement this. Which two configurations are required? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on Job Information that triggers on change of the Position field and sets Job Code and Cost Center from the Position object.. To automatically update Job Code and Cost Center when Position changes, a business rule on Job Information is needed to fetch values from the Position object. Additionally, the Position object must contain those fields and have them populated. Together, these ensure the data is available and the rule can apply it. Other options do not provide automatic synchronization.

Answer

Set up a picklist dependency to filter Job Code values based on the selected Position.

Answer

Use a workflow rule to update Job Code and Cost Center after the Job Information record is saved.

Answer

Configure the Job Code and Cost Center fields as required fields in the Job Information portlet.

Question 5

A SuccessFactors administrator is configuring the 'Job Information' portlet and needs to ensure that when an employee's 'Employee Class' changes from 'Regular' to 'Temporary', the system automatically updates the 'Probation End Date' to be 90 days from the change date. The administrator plans to use a business rule. Which two configurations are required to achieve this? (Choose two.)

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

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on change of Job Title, looks up the JobTitleMapping object to find the corresponding Job Code, and sets the Job Code field.. The two required steps are to create a business rule on Job Information that triggers on Job Title change and performs a lookup in the JobTitleMapping object to set Job Code, and to ensure the JobTitleMapping MDF object is properly configured with the necessary fields for the lookup. These steps together enable automatic, real-time update of Job Code based on the mapping, fulfilling the requirement without manual intervention.

Answer

Create a workflow that triggers when Job Title changes and routes a task to the HR administrator to manually update the Job Code.

Answer

Use a data import to update the Job Code field in Job Information whenever Job Title changes.

Answer

Configure a propagation rule to copy the Job Title from Job Information to the JobTitleMapping object to trigger the mapping.

Question 6

An administrator is setting up the Employee Central 'Employment Details' portlet for a new legal entity. The company wants to record whether each employee is full-time or part-time and to capture the standard weekly working hours. Which two fields should the administrator configure on the Employment Details portlet to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Is Full Time and Standard Weekly Hours. Employment Details in Employee Central provides the Is Full Time indicator and the Standard Weekly Hours field, which together capture whether an employee is full-time or part-time and the contractual weekly hours. Other field pairs such as Employee Class with Pay Grade, Employment Type with FTE, or Job Title with Position describe different aspects of the employment relationship and do not satisfy the stated requirement.

Answer

Employee Class and Pay Grade

Answer

Employment Type and FTE

Answer

Job Title and Position

Question 7

An HR administrator needs to create a new MDF object to track employee visas. The object must store the visa type, issue date, expiry date, and a copy of the visa document. Which field type should be used to store the visa document?

Accepted Answer

Attachment. To store a document such as a visa copy, the MDF object must use the Attachment field type. This field allows users to upload and associate files with the record. Other field types like String, Date, or Picklist cannot handle binary file data. The Attachment field is the standard and correct choice for document storage in MDF objects.

Answer

Date

Answer

String

Answer

Picklist

Question 8

A consultant is configuring the Employee Central 'Job Information' portlet for a company that uses multiple legal entities. The company wants to ensure that when an employee's 'Legal Entity' is changed, the 'Location' field is automatically updated to the default location of that legal entity. The consultant decides to use a business rule. Which trigger type on the Job Information object should be used to achieve this dynamic defaulting?

Accepted Answer

OnChange. To automatically update the Location field when Legal Entity changes, the business rule must trigger on that change. OnChange is designed for this purpose, allowing immediate defaulting based on the new value. This provides a seamless user experience by updating the form in real time.

Answer

OnSave

Answer

OnInit

Answer

OnPostSave

Question 9

An administrator needs to configure a business rule on the Job Information object that prevents saving a record when the employee's 'Employment Type' is 'Regular' and the 'Standard Weekly Hours' field is empty. The rule must evaluate on save and block the save with a custom error message. Which rule scenario and configuration should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Create an onSave rule on the Job Information object with a condition checking Employment Type = Regular and Standard Weekly Hours is empty, and add a message with severity 'Error'.. To block a save based on field values, an onSave rule on the Job Information object is required. The condition must combine the Employment Type check with the empty Standard Weekly Hours check, and the message must have error severity so the save is prevented and the custom message is shown to the user.

Answer

Create an onInit rule on Job Information that checks the fields and displays a warning message when Standard Weekly Hours is empty for Regular employees.

Answer

Create an onChange rule on the Standard Weekly Hours field that raises an error when the field is cleared, regardless of Employment Type.

Answer

Create an onSave rule on the Employment Type field with a condition checking Standard Weekly Hours is empty, and configure the rule to trigger a workflow instead of an error message.

Question 10

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 'Pay Grade' field must be automatically set to a specific value and then made read-only. Which tool should the administrator use to implement this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Business Rules to trigger on Job Information save, set Pay Grade, and set the field as read-only.. Business Rules are the appropriate tool to implement conditional logic that sets a field value and makes it read-only based on another field's value. Triggering on Job Information save allows the rule to evaluate Employee Class and perform the necessary actions on Pay Grade.

Answer

Configure Object Definitions to set a default value for Pay Grade based on Employee Class.

Answer

Picklist management to restrict the Pay Grade values available when Employee Class is Executive.

Answer

Workflow configuration to route the Job Information change for approval when Employee Class is Executive.

Question 11

A consultant is configuring the Employee Central 'Job Information' portlet to support a new business process. The company requires that when an employee's 'Job Classification' changes, the system automatically updates the 'Employee Class' field based on a predefined mapping. The consultant needs to implement this using the appropriate tools. Which two actions should the consultant take to achieve this requirement? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on change of the 'Job Classification' field and sets the 'Employee Class' field based on a lookup table.. To automatically update Employee Class based on Job Classification changes, a business rule is needed to trigger on the change and perform the update. The rule should reference a lookup table that defines the mapping between the two fields. This combination ensures the update is automatic and based on a predefined mapping, meeting the requirement.

Answer

Define a picklist for 'Employee Class' and associate it with the 'Job Classification' field to ensure values are consistent.

Answer

Use a propagation rule to copy the 'Job Classification' value to the 'Employee Class' field.

Answer

Configure a workflow that sends an email notification to the HR administrator whenever the 'Job Classification' changes, prompting them to manually update the 'Employee Class' field.

Question 12

An administrator is setting up the Employee Central 'Employment Details' portlet and needs to ensure that the 'Original Start Date' is captured for all employees. The company wants this field to be automatically populated with the employee's first hire date and then remain unchanged even if the employee is rehired. Which field should be used to store this information?

Accepted Answer

Original Start Date. The 'Original Start Date' field is specifically designed to store the employee's first hire date and remains unchanged through rehires. Other date fields like 'Start Date' or 'Hire Date' may be updated upon rehire or reflect the current employment segment. Therefore, 'Original Start Date' is the correct choice to meet the requirement.

Answer

Service Date

Answer

Start Date

Answer

Hire Date

Question 13

A company uses Employee Central and has a requirement that when an employee's 'Job Information' record is created, the 'Cost Center' field must be populated based on the employee's 'Location'. The administrator has created a business rule with an OnSave trigger on Job Information. However, during testing, the Cost Center is not being set. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The 'Cost Center' field is not included in the rule's target field list or the rule is not active.. The most common reasons a business rule does not set a field are that the rule is inactive or the target field is not properly configured in the rule's action. The administrator should check the rule's status and ensure the Cost Center field is selected as the target in the 'Set' action. Other factors like trigger type or base object are likely correct given the scenario.

Answer

The rule should be triggered on OnInit instead of OnSave.

Answer

The rule is missing a condition to check if the record is new.

Answer

The rule must be created on the 'Location' object instead of Job Information.

Question 14

An Employee Central administrator is creating a new event reason for the 'Termination' event. The company requires that when an HR administrator selects this event reason during termination, the system must automatically set the employee's 'Employee Status' to 'Terminated' and 'Employee Class' to 'Inactive'. Which configuration should the administrator perform to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a 'Event Reason' record with the 'Employee Status' and 'Employee Class' fields populated, and configure the event reason to derive these values during the termination process.. Event reasons in Employee Central can be configured with specific Employee Status and Employee Class values that are automatically applied when the event reason is selected. This ensures consistency and reduces manual entry. For termination, setting these fields on the event reason record is the standard approach, eliminating the need for complex business rules or workflows.

Answer

Configure a workflow rule on the Termination portlet that updates the Employee Status and Employee Class fields upon approval.

Answer

Configure a business rule on the 'Event Reason' object that triggers on save and sets the Employee Status and Employee Class fields.

Answer

Create a business rule on the 'Employment Information' object that triggers when the event reason is 'Termination' and sets the Employee Status and Employee Class fields.

Question 15

A company uses SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and has a requirement that when an employee is terminated, their 'Job Information' record should be updated to set the 'Employee Status' to 'Terminated' and the 'Termination Date' should be populated. The termination process is initiated via the 'Terminate' action in the UI. Which configuration ensures that the Employee Status is automatically set to 'Terminated' when the termination is completed?

Accepted Answer

Use the standard 'Terminate' action, which automatically sets the Employee Status to 'Terminated' and populates the Termination Date based on the event reason configuration.. The standard termination process in Employee Central automatically updates the Employee Status and Termination Date based on the event reason selected. No custom business rules or workflows are needed for this core functionality. Ensuring that event reasons are correctly configured to map to the 'Terminated' status is the only necessary setup.

Answer

Create a custom MDF object to track terminations and use a business rule to update the Job Information record when a termination record is created.

Answer

Configure a workflow that triggers on termination and uses a business rule to set the Employee Status to 'Terminated' after approval.

Answer

Configure a business rule on the Job Information object with the 'onSave' event that checks if Termination Date is populated and sets Employee Status to 'Terminated'.

Question 16

An Employee Central administrator is configuring the 'Event Reason' foundation object. The company wants to derive the event reason automatically when an employee's Job Information is updated, based on the type of change (e.g., promotion, transfer, termination). Which configuration approach should the administrator use to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that sets the event reason based on the change type, and associate it with the 'onSave' event.. The correct approach is to use a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on save. This allows the system to evaluate the changed fields and automatically set the appropriate event reason. It ensures real-time, accurate derivation without manual intervention, meeting the requirement for automatic determination based on the type of change.

Answer

Use a workflow rule to send a notification to the HR team to manually update the event reason after the job change.

Answer

Set up a scheduled job that runs nightly to update event reasons based on the latest job information changes.

Answer

Configure the Event Reason object with a picklist that filters values based on the employee's country.

Question 17

An administrator needs to configure the Employee Central 'Job Information' portlet to enforce that the 'Employee Class' field is mandatory only for employees in the United States, while for other countries it remains optional. The company uses Country-specific field configurations. Which configuration should the administrator use to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Create a country-specific field configuration for the United States where the 'Employee Class' field is set as required, and another configuration for other countries where it is optional.. Country-specific field configuration allows the administrator to set different properties for fields based on the employee's country. By configuring Employee Class as required for the United States and optional for other countries, the requirement is met without complex business rules. This is the standard, supported method for country-specific field behavior in Job Information.

Answer

Set the 'Employee Class' field as required in the global field configuration and then use a business rule to bypass the requirement for non-US employees.

Answer

Use a business rule on Job Information that checks the employee's country and raises an error if Employee Class is empty for US employees.

Answer

Configure a custom validation rule on the 'Employee Class' field in the Job Information portlet that makes it required based on the employee's country.

Question 18

An HR administrator needs to create a new position in Employee Central. The position must be assigned to a specific department and location. Which object should the administrator use to create the position record?

Accepted Answer

Position. The Position object is specifically designed for creating and managing positions. It contains the necessary fields to assign a department and location. Job Information is for employee assignments, while Department and Location are Foundation Objects used for categorization. Therefore, the administrator should use the Position object.

Answer

Job Information

Answer

Department

Answer

Location

Question 19

A global company uses SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central. The HR team needs to ensure that when an employee's 'Job Information' record is updated, the system checks if the employee's 'Country' field is 'United States' and if so, automatically sets the 'Employee Class' to 'Regular'. If the country is not United States, the Employee Class should remain unchanged. Which configuration should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on Job Information that triggers on save, with a condition that Country equals United States, and sets Employee Class to Regular.. The correct solution is a business rule on Job Information that triggers on save, checks if Country equals United States, and sets Employee Class to Regular. This automatically applies the change only for US employees and leaves other records unchanged. Business rules are the standard tool for conditional field updates in Employee Central.

Answer

Configure a workflow rule that triggers when Job Information is updated and sends an email to the HR administrator to manually set Employee Class if the country is United States.

Answer

Set a default value on the Employee Class field in Job Information to 'Regular' and configure a country-specific picklist to hide the field for non-US countries.

Answer

Use a propagation rule from the Country foundation object to Job Information to set Employee Class to Regular when Country is United States.

Question 20

An Employee Central administrator at a multinational company needs to ensure that when an employee's Job Information record is created, the 'Company' field automatically defaults to the legal entity associated with the employee's 'Location'. The administrator wants to minimize manual data entry and enforce consistency. Which configuration approach should be used to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on save and sets the Company field based on the Location's legal entity.. The correct approach is to use a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on save and sets the Company field based on the Location's legal entity. This dynamically derives the value from the related Location object, ensuring consistency and reducing manual entry. Other options either apply static values or require manual intervention, which do not meet the requirement.

Answer

Configure a default value for the Company field in the Job Information portlet configuration using the 'Default Value' setting.

Answer

Use a propagation rule on the Location foundation object to push the legal entity to all associated Job Information records.

Answer

Create a workflow rule that triggers on Job Information creation and sends an email to the administrator to manually update the Company field.
