C_THR81_2505 SAP Certified Associate - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Core Questions and Answers

Cross-entity business rules in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central allow for data propagation and validation across different HRIS elements. The following objects are supported in cross-entity business rules:

A. Pay Component Recurring

This object pertains to regular, recurring payments such as salaries. Cross-entity rules can be configured to update or validate data between Pay Component Recurring and other entities like Job Information.

D. Job Information

This object contains details about an employee's job role, department, and other related information. Cross-entity rules can be used to ensure consistency between Job Information and other entities, such as Compensation Information.

Objects like Work Permit Information and Personal Information are not currently supported in cross-entity business rules. The focus of cross-entity rules is primarily on employment-related entities to maintain data integrity across core HR processes.

The SAP Business Accelerator Hub is the primary platform for exploring released APIs.

It provides a central repository where developers can browse, test, and integrate various APIs across SAP solutions.

The hub is designed for simplifying API access and ensuring integration consistency in SAP environments.Other options like SAP Application Interface Framework and SAP Integration Suite focus on integration but do not primarily serve as a platform for exploring APIs.

When two workflows are initiated for the same employee with different effective dates, both workflows are allowed to proceed independently. The system processes them sequentially based on their respective effective dates. This ensures that updates are recorded in the order they occur without rejecting either workflow.

Other options, such as canceling or rejecting workflows, do not align with standard system behavior for managing multiple transactions.

For a global customer where HR admins are assigned based on legal entities and need to receive approval workflows for their target population, you can configure the workflow as follows:

Create a Dynamic Role using the Legal Entity filter.

Assign the Resolver Type as a Dynamic Group to ensure the workflow automatically routes to the correct HR admin based on the legal entity.This configuration avoids creating multiple static workflows and simplifies management by dynamically resolving approvers based on the legal entity.

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

For the Jobinfo_FTE_Comp rule, the correct condition to use is Option D. This ensures that the system evaluates changes in FTE values and event reasons to calculate and adjust compensation data accordingly. The precise conditions are necessary to maintain consistency in how the rule is applied across various HR scenarios.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central supports specific tags in alert messages to provide dynamic content. The following tags are supported:

[[SUBJECT_USER]]: Refers to the user for whom the alert is generated.

[[EVENT_REASON]]: Refers to the event reason triggering the alert.

Correct Answers:

A: [[SUBJECT_USER]]

B: [[EVENT_REASON]]

When an employee changes their last name and a workflow is triggered, the CC workflow notification is sent to the manager once all approvers have approved the workflow. This ensures that the notification is only sent after the change is confirmed and finalized, aligning with best practices for workflow communication.

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

When configuring events and event reasons in SAP SuccessFactors, you can perform the following actions:

A. Add a new language translation

New language translations can be added for events and event reasons to support multilingual organizations.

B. Change the status

You can activate or deactivate events based on organizational needs.

D. Change the labels

Labels for events can be modified for better understanding and alignment with organizational terminology.

C. Change the external_code of an event and E. Add a new event are incorrect as external codes are immutable once created, and adding events requires admin-level access beyond event picklist configuration

In SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, employee identifiers are managed as follows:

A. Once generated, you CANNOT change a user id.

The User ID serves as a unique identifier for an employee's employment record. Once assigned, it cannot be altered.

D. A user can have multiple user ids.

An employee may possess multiple User IDs, especially in scenarios involving concurrent employment or global assignments. Each employment instance is associated with a distinct User ID.

E. A user can have only one person id external.

The Person ID External uniquely identifies an individual across all employment records within the system. An employee is assigned a single Person ID External, regardless of the number of employments.

Options B and C are incorrect:

B. A user can have only one user id.

This is incorrect because, as mentioned, an employee can have multiple User IDs corresponding to different employment instances.

C. Once generated, you CANNOT change a person id external.

This is incorrect. While the Person ID External is intended to be a stable identifier, it can be changed if necessary, though such changes should be managed carefully to maintain data integrity.

To allow the employee's manager to edit a transaction in a workflow if the proposed salary change is incorrect, you must configure the "Edit Transaction" setting in the workflow.

The "Edit Transaction" option is part of the workflow configuration in Step 1 (as shown in the screenshot).

When enabled, it allows the approver (in this case, the manager) to make adjustments to the transaction before approving it.

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

To create country/region-specific fields (CSF) for a country that does not have pre-delivered Legal Entity CSF fields, follow these steps:

Create a New Generic Object: Develop a new generic object to define the specific fields required for the country/region. This object will store the additional data fields pertinent to the Legal Entity.

Create a Composite Association to the New Generic Object on Legal Entity: Establish a composite association from the Legal Entity to the newly created generic object. This association links the Legal Entity to the country/region-specific fields, enabling the system to recognize and utilize these fields appropriately.

Update the Field Criteria of the Association: Modify the field criteria within the association to ensure that the new fields are correctly associated with the Legal Entity. This step involves setting conditions that determine when the new fields are applicable, based on factors such as country/region.

These steps align with the standard procedures for extending the data model in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to accommodate country/region-specific requirements.

To configure a workflow that can be approved by any one member of a designated group, you should use the Manage Workflow Groups tool. This functionality allows the creation of dynamic groups whose members can act as approvers in workflows. When such a group is assigned to a workflow, the approval request is sent to all group members, but only one member needs to take action to approve the workflow.

Options A, B, and C are not suitable for this requirement:

A. Manage Permission Groups

This tool is used to define groups for permission purposes and does not directly relate to workflow approvals.

B. Manage Dynamic Roles

Dynamic Roles are used to assign roles based on certain criteria but are not designed for grouping multiple users for workflow approvals.

C. Manage Workflow Requests

This tool is used to monitor and manage existing workflow requests, not to configure approval groups.

In SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, the People Profile is designed to consolidate related HRIS elements into cohesive blocks for streamlined data management. Specifically, the compInfo (Compensation Information) and payComponentRecurring (Recurring Pay Components) HRIS elements share the same People Profile block. Similarly, the personalinfo (Personal Information) and globalinfo (Global Information) HRIS elements are grouped together within the People Profile. This structured grouping enhances the user experience by providing a unified view of related employee information.

Workflow derivation rules for new hires are assigned in the Job Information HRIS element.

The Job Information section contains employment-specific details and is the primary place where workflows for hiring processes are configured.

This ensures that workflows for approvals or other processes are correctly derived and triggered during the hire action.

From the Position Org Chart in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, users can initiate the following actions:

A. Add a lower-level position:

Users can create subordinate positions directly within the hierarchy to reflect organizational reporting structures.

C. Create a job requisition for a vacant position:

A job requisition can be initiated for positions marked as vacant, streamlining the hiring process by linking positions to recruiting functionalities.

E. Mass copy positions:

This action allows for the duplication of multiple positions, facilitating quick setup of similar roles across the organization.

These features enhance the efficiency of managing the organizational structure and workforce planning.

In order for an employee to change their nationality information on their own, the IF condition must:

Validate that the Context.Current User is equal to Login User (ensures that the logged-in user is making the changes).

Check if the Nationality.Value is not equal to the Nationality.Previous Value (ensures that a change is being made).

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

In the Corporate Data Model, the country-specific Corporate Address element requires the field Country to be specified. This ensures that address configurations are appropriately associated with a country.

The rules must be assigned in the order ERD1, ERD2, ERD3, ERD-Catch, WFD for the following reasons:

ERD1, ERD2, ERD3: These are specific rules addressing distinct scenarios or conditions in a defined sequence.

ERD-Catch: Acts as the fallback or catch-all rule to handle any conditions not addressed by the specific ERD rules.

WFD (Workflow-Driven): This is placed last to ensure workflow-related logic is executed after all event-related data has been validated and processed.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

The Job Information Model is the base object used for the Jobinfo_FTF_Comp rule.

This rule applies to job information-related events and ensures that the necessary validations or transformations are triggered based on job data changes.

As Job Information is the foundational data structure for tracking employee roles, positions, and assignments, it is the correct base object for this scenario.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

To enable a cost center in the Succession Data Model for use as a filter in a permission group, you must:

Navigate to the section within the Succession Data Model.

Add an entry for the cost-center object within the section.

This action allows the cost center to be selectable as a filter for Dynamic Groups, which are used to define permission groups in Employee Central.

Correct Answer:

A: Go to then add cost-center

SAP recommends the following guiding principles to maintain clean core operations:

Integrate Clean Core Practices in End-to-End Processes: Embed clean core strategies throughout the value chain for consistency.

Define Roles and Responsibilities: Establish clear accountability for clean core implementation via a process transformation office.

Organizational and Technical Foundation: Develop a robust framework, including technical structures and methodologies, to drive clean core adherence.

Other activities like release management and regular housekeeping are operational best practices but not core guiding principles.
