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

The Biographical Information permissions are managed in the Employee Data section 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.

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

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.

SAP Learning Hub

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

The externalCode field 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.

The externalName field 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.

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.

Event Reason Derivation in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is triggered when changes are made to employee data through specific actions. Utilizing the "Actions" menu in the People Profile to update employee information initiates the Event Reason Derivation process. This mechanism automatically determines the appropriate event reason based on the nature of the data change.

In contrast, inserting a new record via the history UI, deleting a record in the history UI, or using the "Add New Hire" function does not trigger Event Reason Derivation. These actions either bypass the derivation process or involve scenarios where event reasons are manually selected.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B: Using Actions menu in People Profile

This approach ensures that event reasons are accurately derived and recorded in line with the configured business rules in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.

Fields displayed on the termination screen are configured in the Employment Information HRIS element. This element contains employment-specific details, such as hire dates, termination dates, and reasons for termination.

Other HRIS elements like Personal Information, Compensation Information, and Job Information do not manage termination-specific configurations

The rule in Option B supports the Default_JobClass requirement by setting default values for fields such as Job Title, Pay Grade, and Employee Class when the Job Classification field is NULL. This ensures that appropriate default data is applied to job information records when certain fields are not explicitly filled.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

The recommended practice to start event reason derivation rules is to begin with a condition that checks if the event reason value is NULL. If the value is NULL, the rule skips the event reason derivation process. This approach prevents unnecessary processing and ensures that only valid scenarios trigger further rule logic, improving system performance and accuracy.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

Event reason derivation in Employee Central does not support certain predefined events such as:

Termination: This event is typically manually configured without automatic derivation of event reasons.

Hire: Similarly, for the hire process, event reasons are explicitly selected rather than being derived automatically.

Other events like Transfer and Data Change are supported for event reason derivation, as they rely on changes in job information or other key attributes.

In SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, when configuring composite associations, the system validates that the destination object has its effective dating set to "From Parent." This setting ensures that the effective dates of the associated records are synchronized with the parent object, maintaining data consistency across related entities.

This validation is crucial because it ensures that any changes in the parent object's effective dates are appropriately reflected in the associated child objects, thereby preserving the integrity of historical data and future-dated records.

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

Use Configure Object Definition to add the field in the Legal 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.

The clean core dashboard offers tools to monitor and maintain clean core operations.

Access via SAP For Me: The dashboard can be reached through the SAP For Me portal, a customer-centric interface for managing SAP environments.

Partner Access: Customers can grant partners access to the clean core dashboard, allowing collaborative management and monitoring.

The dashboard's functionality in specific tenants (like dev, test, production) or availability across all SAP S/4HANA Cloud editions depends on the specific system configurations.

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 Relationships and Addresses do not support the &&NO_OVERWRITE&& operator.

When configuring HRIS sync mappings in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, the phoneInfo (Phone Information) object requires the entity-type attribute to be specified. This attribute distinguishes between different types of phone numbers, such as business or personal, ensuring that each phone number is correctly categorized and synchronized within the system. Accurate configuration of the entity-type is essential for maintaining the integrity of contact information across the platform.

To establish a one-to-many association from Location to Legal Entity and enable filtering of the Location field based on the Company field in the Job Information block, the following configurations are necessary:

Define the Association in the Location Object:

In the location object definition, add an <association> element to link it to the legalEntity object. This association should be defined within the section.

Configure Field Criteria for the Location Field:

Within the Job Information (jobInfo) element, add a element as part of the . This configuration ensures that the Location field is filtered based on the selected Company (Legal Entity) in the Job Information block.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

B: as part of

D: <association> as part of

These configurations align with the standard practices for setting up associations and field criteria in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.

B. The technicalParameters column with a value of SYNC has NOT been included in the import file:

When importing position data, the technicalParameters column with the value "SYNC" must be included to ensure that changes to position attributes are synchronized to the incumbent's data.

C. The business rule to sync data changes sets the Position Department to be equal to Job Information.Department:

If the rule is incorrectly configured, the department field on the incumbent's job information may not update as expected. The correct configuration should align the position department with the incumbent's job information.

These factors contribute to discrepancies between position and incumbent data.

 Valid When Association:

This is used to define conditional relationships and is applied to higher-level objects.

 Composite Association:

This is used to create parent-child relationships, where the child object is the destination.

To ensure that event reasons are not overwritten, the business rule should be configured as follows:

Set the IF statement to Always True: This ensures the rule is triggered every time.

Set the THEN statement as blank: This ensures that no new event reason value overwrites the existing one.

By following this configuration, the system avoids unnecessary overwriting of existing event reason values while processing changes.

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.

The CREATE Respects Target Criteria setting 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 to Yes in 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.
