The formula (Base Salary / Previous FTE Value) X Current FTE Value ensures that the base salary is adjusted correctly when there is a change in the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) value. This formula maintains salary proportionality by recalculating the base salary based on the ratio of the new FTE value to the previous FTE value. It is critical in cases where FTE adjustments impact an employee's compensation.

Scenario 1: HR Transaction Rules

ï‚· Valid When Association:

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

ï‚· Composite Association:

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

In SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, the HRIS synchronization (sync) job is responsible for aligning data between different modules and ensuring consistency across the system. When an employee's job title is changed via Manager Self-Service (MSS) with an effective date set to Thursday, and the HRIS sync job is scheduled to run every Friday, the synchronization will occur on Friday, when the sync job completes.

This means that any changes made effective on Thursday will be synchronized during the next scheduled HRIS sync job on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Friday, when the sync job completes.

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

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.

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

Correct Answer:

C: Job Information Model

Position Management in SAP SuccessFactors supports different behaviors for position types, allowing tailored management practices. The following behaviors can be configured differently based on position types:

A. Trigger workflows on Job Information if the position changes are synchronized to the incumbents:

Specific workflows can be triggered for updates, such as when a position change impacts the employee(s) occupying that position.

B. Respect workflow at Copy Position in Position Organizational Chart:

Workflow rules for copying positions can be customized, ensuring approval processes align with organizational requirements.

E. Set or reset TBH (To Be Hired) status if an incumbent's FTE is changed:

Position types can define whether the TBH status is updated automatically based on changes to an incumbent’s FTE.

These behaviors enable organizations to manage diverse scenarios and requirements in position administration efficiently.

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.

To autogenerate the Position Code in Position Management, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

B. Set a Business Rule using the Trigger Rules to Generate Assignment ID External with the event type onSave and assign it in Position > Save Rules:

This rule ensures that the Position Code is automatically generated when a position is saved, based on the predefined logic in the business rule.

C. Set Position External Code Generation by On Save rule to Yes in Position Management Settings > General tab:

Enabling this setting ensures that the system allows automatic code generation based on the onSave rules defined in the Position Management module.

E. Set the Position Code field as read-only in the Position Object Definition:

Making the Position Code field read-only prevents manual entry, ensuring that the code is exclusively autogenerated by the system.

These settings align with best practices in automating Position Code generation and reducing manual input errors.

Scenario 2: Approvals for Self-Service

To configure a two-step workflow where the approval first goes to the current manager and then to the future manager, you must set the following in the workflow:
