C_THR81_2405 SAP Certified Associate - Implementation Consultant - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Core Questions and Answers

When importing Personal Information into SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, the following fields are mandatory:

B. Event Date

This field specifies the effective date of the personal information record. It is crucial for maintaining accurate historical data and ensuring that changes are applied from the correct date.

SAP Help Portal

D. Person Id External

Theperson-id-externalserves as a unique identifier for the individual across all employment records within the system. It is essential for linking personal information to the correct person.

SAP Help Portal

Options A and C are not required for importing Personal Information:

A. Username

Theusernameis associated with system login credentials and is not a required field for importing personal information.

C. User Id

Theuser-idpertains to employment records and is not mandatory for the Personal Information import process.

Standard one-to-one associations link objects in a parent-child relationship, where each instance of the parent object is associated with one instance of the child object. Examples include:

Location to Geozone: A location belongs to one specific geozone.

Pay Range to Legal Entity: A pay range is tied to a single legal entity.

Location to Legal EntityandDepartment to Divisionare examples of one-to-many associations.

When the manager can view more fields than they should, it is typically because in the workflow configuration, theRespect Permissionssetting for the notification line to the manager was set toNo. This means that the system does not enforce field-level permissions when the manager views the workflow.

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

To enable a custom Generic (MDF) object for Employee Self-Service (ESS) in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, the following configurations are necessary:

C. Create one configuration UI for the object.

A Configuration UI (User Interface) must be created for the MDF object to define how users will interact with it. This UI facilitates data entry and management within the ESS framework.

D. Set the externalCode field to Data Type = User.

TheexternalCodefield should be set to the 'User' data type. This configuration ensures that the object is associated with specific user records, enabling personalized data management within ESS.

Options A and B are not required for enabling a custom MDF object for Employee Self-Service:

A. Set the externalName field to Data Type = User.

TheexternalNamefield typically holds descriptive information and does not need to be set to the 'User' data type for ESS functionality.

B. Create a Valid When association for the object.

While associations can define relationships between objects, a 'Valid When' association is not a prerequisite for enabling ESS capabilities for a custom MDF object.

To create an association whereone division can belong to many business units, you must build aValid Whenassociation in the Division object definition.

Valid Whenassociations define conditions under which an object (e.g., a Division) is valid for another object (e.g., a Business Unit).

This setup supports the business rule that a single division may be linked to multiple business units while ensuring data integrity in the hierarchical structure.

When creating a business rule to trigger a transfer event reason upon a location change, theJob Information Modelis the correct base object. This is because location is a field within theJob Informationentity, and changes to fields within this entity are best handled using theJob Information Modelbase object for related rules.

Correct Answer:

C: Job Information Model

To set theevent datein Compensation Information for theJobinfo_FTE_Compcross-entity rule,Option Dis the correct method. The approach ensures that the Event Date field in the Compensation Information section aligns with the Event Date in Job Information. This synchronization is crucial for maintaining consistency in effective dates across entities during HR transactions.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

To create a custom field that appears only for legal entity France:

UseConfigure Object Definitionto add the field in theLegal Entity object.

Add field criteria to display the field conditionally based on the country being France.

This approach allows you to manage country-specific fields without modifying the Corporate Data Model directly.

TheCREATE Respects Target Criteriasetting in the Position object definition ensures that the system applies access control criteria when creating positions. This is critical for maintaining organizational and data security. It should be set toYesin the following cases:

A. To restrict access to create positions based on the granted user's target population:

This ensures that users can only create positions for entities (e.g., departments, locations) within their authorized target population.

C. To restrict access to create lower-level positions from the Position Org Chart:

This limits the ability to create subordinate positions in the hierarchy to authorized users, maintaining the integrity of position relationships.

TheIncumbent of Parent Positionoption, used to filter positions in Hire, MSS Job Information, and History, is enabled inPosition Management Settings > UI Customizing. This configuration allows users to define filtering options for selecting positions, improving usability and ensuring data relevance during employee management processes.

To trigger a new workflow when the manager edits the salary during the approval process, you must selectEdit with Route Change. This option ensures that when an edit is made, the workflow is restarted or rerouted based on the updated information, allowing for revalidation and approvals to reflect the changes.

This option is essential for ensuring data integrity and compliance during workflows involving edits.

To identify the user when the employee is updating their own personal information, theIF conditioninOption Cis correct. This configuration:

Checks if theContext.Current Useris equal to theLogin User.

Ensures that the rule applies only when the employee is making changes to their own personal data.

This approach is aligned with SAP SuccessFactors logic for self-service scenarios, enabling accurate identification of the user in such workflows.

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

To populate theStandard Hoursfield from Legal Entity records in theAdd New Employee wizard, the business rule should be configured with:

Event Type: onInit

This event triggers the rule during the initialization phase of the Add New Employee wizard.

Base Object: Standard Hours

The rule applies to the Standard Hours field, pulling data from the Legal Entity record.

Other event types such asonChange,onEdit, oronSaveare not appropriate for pre-populating fields during the Add New Employee process.

When working with model base objects in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central business rules, the following properties are available:

B. Visibility

Visibility determines whether a field is displayed or hidden based on business rules. This is critical for maintaining data confidentiality or streamlining user interfaces.

C. Previous Value

This property allows rules to compare the current value of a field with its previous value, enabling conditional logic for actions such as triggering notifications or workflows.

E. Required

Required indicates whether a field must be populated before a record can be saved. Business rules can enforce data completeness using this property.

A. PII (Personally Identifiable Information)andD. Max-lengthare not applicable properties for business rules in the context of model base objects.

The&&NO_OVERWRITE&&operator is supported in imports for:

A. Job History

This ensures that existing job history records are not overwritten during imports.

D. Employment Details

Employment details such as hire dates or termination records can also be preserved using this operator.

Job RelationshipsandAddressesdo not support the&&NO_OVERWRITE&&operator.

Workflow derivation rules for new hires are assigned in theJob InformationHRIS 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.

To set up the Auto Delegation feature in Employee Central workflows, the following steps are required:

Enable Auto-Delegate Permission: Users must have the auto-delegate permission enabled, which allows them to define their delegates for workflows.

Enable Auto-Delegation in the Corporate Data Model: This configuration ensures that the system recognizes and supports the auto-delegation functionality at the framework level.

Correct Answers:

B: Enable the auto-delegate permission for users.

D: Enable the field in the Corporate Data Model.

C. The Parent Position field should NOT be included in the business rule:

The Parent Position field is typically derived automatically based on position hierarchy and does not require explicit inclusion in a business rule for defaulting position attributes.

D. The FTE field should be derived from the business rule to Calculate FTE based on Standard Hours:

The FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) value should be calculated using a dedicated rule that accounts for standard hours, rather than being directly included in a defaulting rule.

Including these fields inappropriately can lead to data inconsistencies or rule execution issues.

For theJobinfo_FTE_Comprule, the correct condition to use isOption 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

The Biographical Information permissions are managed in theEmployee Datasection of the Manage Permission Roles tool.

This section governs access to basic employee details, including biographical information such as name, date of birth, and personal identifiers.

Configuring permissions here ensures that the appropriate user roles can view or edit biographical details while maintaining data security and compliance.

The rules must be assigned in the orderERD1, ERD2, ERD3, ERD-Catch, WFDfor 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.
