C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
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?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is choosing a one-to-one association or using Job Information fields, which would limit each employee to a single license and fail the multiple-license requirement.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
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 analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
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.
Why it's wrong here
Adding fields to Job Information would only allow one set of license details per employee, not multiple licenses. This does not meet the requirement that each employee can have multiple licenses. Additionally, Job Information is effective-dated and designed for job data, not for repeating license records. Reporting on multiple licenses would be impossible with this approach.
- ✗
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.
Why it's wrong here
A one-to-one association would restrict each employee to only one license record, which contradicts the requirement that employees can have multiple licenses. This association type is used when a single record is shared, such as an employee and their company car. It would not allow tracking multiple licenses per employee, so the reporting requirement would not be met.
- ✗
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.
Why it's wrong here
A foundation object is used for organizational entities like departments or locations, not for transactional data like employee licenses. While you could create a LicenseType foundation object, it would not store the issue and expiry dates for each employee's license. The association would not capture the multiple license records per employee with their specific dates, so reporting on expirations would not be possible.
- ✓
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.
Why this is correct
This approach correctly models the one-to-many relationship between employees and licenses using a custom MDF object with a many-to-one association to Employee. The fields for license type, issue date, and expiry date are included. A report can then filter on the expiry date to identify licenses expiring within 30 days. This is the standard, scalable way to track multiple licenses per employee and enables reporting.
