C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
A company uses SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central. An administrator needs to create a new position for an employee. The position must be linked to a specific legal entity and must have a maximum headcount of 1. Which object should the administrator use to create the position?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the creation of a position with the assignment of a position, as Job Information is used for assignment, not creation.

✓
Position
To create a new position with specific attributes like legal entity and maximum headcount, the administrator must use the Position object in Employee Central. This object allows defining all necessary position details, which can then be assigned to employees through Job Information.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Job Information
Why it's wrong here
Job Information is used to assign an employee to a position, but it does not create the position itself. The position must exist before it can be assigned. Creating a position involves defining its attributes such as legal entity and headcount, which is done in the Position object, not Job Information.
- ✓
Position
Why this is correct
The Position object in Employee Central is used to create and manage positions. It allows configuration of attributes such as legal entity, headcount, and other position-specific details. Creating a position here ensures it can be assigned to employees via Job Information. This is the correct object for the task.
- ✗
Employee Profile
Why it's wrong here
Employee Profile is used to view and edit employee data, including job information, but it does not create positions. Positions are created in the Position object. While you can assign a position to an employee from the Employee Profile, the position itself must be created separately. Thus, this is not the correct object.
- ✗
Legal Entity
Why it's wrong here
Legal Entity is a foundation object that represents a company or legal division. It is not used to create positions; rather, positions are associated with legal entities. Creating a position requires the Position object, where you can specify the legal entity as an attribute. Using Legal Entity would not create a position.
