An employee's job description is "Recruiter" as of 01-Jan-2023. This job was updated in the system to "Consultant" on 01-Feb-2023. The 01-Feb-2023 assignment record is the latest effective-dated employment record in the system. On 01-Mar-2023, an HR specialist wants to view this employee’s previous employment details and searches for them using Global Search. The HR specialist enters the search keyword "Recruiter" along with the effective date value of 31-Jan-2023 because the employee was working as a recruiter on 31-Jan-2023. The search returns no rows. What is the reason?
The Person Management page search does not support Job attribute keywords.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has failed on 01-Mar-2023 but ran successfully the previous day.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has associated the effective dates with the job attributes in the keyword record resulting in search discrepancies.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has failed on 31-Jan-2023 but ran successfully the next day.
The Person Management page search does not support date-effective keywords.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has updated the latest effective-dated job attribute in the keyword record.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The Global Search in Oracle HCM Cloud relies on the "Update Person Search Keyword" process, which maintains a keyword index for person records. This process updates the index with the latest effective-dated attributes (e.g., job) as of the process run date, not historical data tied to specific effective dates. In this case, the employee’s job changed from "Recruiter" (effective 01-Jan-2023) to "Consultant" (effective 01-Feb-2023). By 01-Mar-2023, when the HR specialist searches, the keyword index reflects the latest job ("Consultant") because the process overwrites prior values with the most recent effective-dated record. Thus, searching for "Recruiter" with an effective date of 31-Jan-2023 fails because the historical job isn’t preserved in the index—only "Consultant" is searchable.
Option A is incorrect because Job attributes are supported in searches. Options B and D (process failures) lack evidence and don’t explain the behavior. Option C is misleading—effective dates aren’t associated in the index; they’re overwritten. Option E is wrong because date-effective searches are supported, but the index limits results to current data. Option F correctly identifies that the latest job ("Consultant") replaced "Recruiter" in the keyword record.
What type of people within our system are assigned Person IDs?
Employees, Contingent Workers, Non-Workers
Employees, Contingent Workers, Non-Workers, Pending Workers, Worker Contacts
Employees, Contingent Workers, Non-Workers, Pending Workers
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, aPerson IDis a unique identifier assigned to individuals within the system who have a person record. The types of people assigned Person IDs include:
Employees: Full-time or part-time workers with an employment relationship.
Contingent Workers: Temporary or contract workers.
Non-Workers: Individuals like retirees or external contacts with a person record but no active work relationship.
Pending Workers: Individuals hired but not yet started (e.g., future-dated hires).
Worker Contacts: Emergency contacts or dependents linked to a worker’s record, who also receive a Person ID for tracking purposes.
Option A omits Pending Workers and Worker Contacts, which are included in the system’s person model. Option C misses Worker Contacts, who are explicitly assigned Person IDs to manage relationships. Option B is the most comprehensive, aligning with Oracle’s definition of person records in the "Person Management" guide, makingBthe correct answer.
When working through configurations in the Functional Area, Workforce Deployment within FSM, are you required to access and configure the objects in the order listed on the page?
No
Yes
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In the Functional Setup Manager (FSM) under the Workforce Deployment functional area, Oracle HCM Cloud provides flexibility in configuration. The objects (e.g., Departments, Locations, Positions) listed on the page are not strictly required to be configured in the order they appear. While Oracle recommends a logical sequence (e.g., defining Departments before Positions), the system does not enforce this as a mandatory requirement. Implementers can adjust the order based on their implementation needs, as long as dependencies (e.g., a Position requiring a Department) are satisfied. The "Implementing Workforce Deployment" section of the Oracle documentation confirms this flexibility, stating that configuration order can vary depending on organizational requirements. Thus, the correct answer isA.
A Human Resource Specialist is hiring a new employee in the application. While creating the employee record, he enters personal information and employment details and, when submitting the transaction, encounters an error. Part of the error message reads: "NewPersonEmploymentApproval to NewPersonEmploymentApproval Rules NewPersonRuleSet failed with Business Fault: null. Check the underlying fault. Check target SOA component for cause." The Human Resource Specialist raises a service request with the internal support team. What is the cause of this error?
A security profile needs to be defined for the Human Resource Specialist to hire a person.
The BPM task NewPersonEmploymentApproval is not set up properly.
The Human Resource Specialist does not have the required privilege for the New Person Employment process.
The Update Person Keyword Search process must be run before hiring a person.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The error message indicates a failure in the approval process during the "New Person Employment" transaction, pointing to an issue with the BPM (Business Process Management) workflow rather than security or pre-process requirements.
Option A: Security profiles control data visibility, not approval process execution. Thiswouldn’t cause a BPM fault.
Option B: Correct. The error references "NewPersonEmploymentApproval," a BPM task. A "Business Fault: null" suggests a misconfiguration in the approval ruleset (e.g., missing approver, invalid rule) within BPM Worklist, preventing the transaction from completing.
Option C: Lack of privilege would typically block access to the hire action entirely, not trigger a mid-process BPM fault.
Option D: The "Update Person Keyword Search" process enhances search functionality but is unrelated to hiring approvals.
The correct answer isB, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Approval Configuration.
In order to configure the product you plan on implementing, what is the first action you need to complete within the Setup and Maintenance Work Area (FSM)?
Create additional Implementer User Profiles
Configure your legal entities
Opt in to the Offering and Product areas you will be implementing
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, the Setup and Maintenance Work Area (FSM) is the starting point for implementation. The first required action is toopt into the offerings (e.g., Global Human Resources) and specific product areas you plan to implement. This step activates the relevant tasks and configuration options in FSM, making subsequent setups (like legal entities or user profiles) possible. Without opting in, the system restricts access to implementation tasks. The Oracle documentation emphasizes that "opting in" is the initial step in the implementation process, as outlined in the "Getting Started with Your Implementation" guide, makingCthe correct answer.
The line manager of an employee is also the HR manager for that employee. The Promotion approval rules state that a transaction should be approved by the line manager followed by HR. If this employee receives a promotion, the approval will go to the manager twice. The customer requires that when approvers repeat in the routing chain, only one approval notification should be triggered to such approvers. What step in Business Process Management (BPM) Worklist should you perform to meet this requirement?
Select Allow All Participants To Route Task To Other Participants.
Change the Task Aggregation configuration to Once Per Task.
Change the value of Complete Task Immediately When Participant Chooses to Approve.
Deselect Allow Participants To Edit Future Participants.
Select Allow Participants To Edit Future Participants.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, BPM Worklist manages approval workflows. When an approver (e.g., the same manager as both line and HR) appears multiple times, duplicate notifications can occur unless aggregation is configured.
Option A: Routing to other participants doesn’t address duplicate notifications for the same approver.
Option B: Correct. Setting Task Aggregation to "Once Per Task" in BPM ensures that if the same approver appears multiple times in the chain, they receive only one notification to approve the task once, fulfilling the requirement.
Option C: Immediate completion affects task closure timing, not notification frequency.
Option D: Editing future participants doesn’t control notification aggregation.
Option E: Allowing edits to future participants is unrelated to duplicate notifications.
The correct answer isB, as per "Using Global Human Resources" on BPM approval configuration.
Which three options are true regarding Grade Ladders?
Grade Ladders are used to group grades or grades with steps.
A Grade Ladder cannot be created with a combination of both grades and grades with steps.
A Grade Ladder can be created with a combination of both grades and grades with steps.
Two types of Grade Ladders are available.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, Grade Ladders organize grades (flat pay levels) or grades with steps (progression points within a grade) to manage compensation structures.
Option A: Correct. Grade Ladders group grades (without steps) or grades with steps, providing a framework for salary progression or rate assignment, as defined in the "Manage Grade Ladders" task.
Option B: Incorrect. Oracle allows flexibility; a Grade Ladder can mix grades without steps and grades with steps, though it’s less common and depends on configuration.
Option C: Correct. A Grade Ladder can include both types (grades and grades with steps), offering versatility in structuring pay scales, as supported by the system’s grade ladder setup options.
Option D: Correct. Two types of Grade Ladders exist:
Grade Ladder with Grades: For flat grades without steps.
Grade Ladder with Steps: For grades with progression steps.
This is explicitly outlined in Oracle documentation.
The correct answers are A, C, and D, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on grade structures.
A 'Business Visa Introduction Letter' is an example of a document that may be required on a regular basis for certain people who travel and work internationally. To speed up the process of obtaining the letter, the system can store a copy, which the user downloads whenever it is required. Where are the document templates configured, before they are associated with the appropriate Document Type?
BI Publisher (BIP)
Page Composer
Design Studio
Oracle Transnational Business Intelligence (OTBI)
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, document templates, such as a "Business Visa Introduction Letter," are created and managed in BI Publisher (BIP). The "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide under "Document Management" explains that BIP is used to design and store report templates, including reusable documents tied to Document Types. These templates are then associated with a Document Type (e.g., "Visa Letter") for user access and download. Option B (Page Composer) is for UI customization, not document templates. Option C (Design Studio) configures transactions, not documents. Option D (OTBI) is for analytics, not template creation. Thus, Option A is correct.
Availability (work time) can be defined in HCM Cloud in different ways. In which order does the application search for an employee's schedule, before applying it to an assignment?
Published schedules, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, Standard working hours
Standard working hours, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, Published schedules
Employment work week, Published schedules, Primary work schedule, Standard working hours
Published schedules, Employment work week, Primary work schedule, Standard working hours
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, an employee’s work schedule for an assignment is determined by a hierarchical search order, as outlined in the documentation. The system prioritizes the most specific schedule first, falling back to broader defaults if none is found:
Published Schedules: These are worker-specific schedules published via Time and Labor, taking top priority.
Primary Work Schedule: Defined at the assignment level in Manage Employment, this is the next check.
Employment Work Week: Set at the work relationship level, it applies if no specific schedule exists.
Standard Working Hours: Defined at the legal employer or enterprise level, this is the final fallback.
Option A (Published schedules, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, Standard working hours) matches this exact order. Option B starts with Standard working hours (the last resort), which is incorrect. Option C prioritizes Employment work week over Published schedules, reversing the hierarchy. Option D swaps Primary work schedule and Employment work week, also incorrect. Option A is the verified sequence per Oracle’s logic.
What are four benefits of Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC)?
Cannot roll back an enterprise that is created through ESC
Can create multiple configurations to test multiple scenarios
Can roll back an enterprise configuration after loading it
Can review the enterprise configuration before loading it
Can create all organizational structures at once
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC) offers several benefits:
B: Allows creation of multiple configurations for testing different scenarios, enhancing flexibility.
C: Supports rollback of configurations post-loading if adjustments are needed, ensuring reversibility.
D: Enables review of the configuration before final loading, reducing errors.
E: Facilitates simultaneous creation of all organizational structures, streamlining setup.
For the Change Manager transaction, the first-level approval is set to the Application Role type. The name of the application role is HR Specialist Sales. In the Change Manager approval rule configuration, the Enable Auto Claim option is deselected. Which two actions take place when the transaction for manager change is initiated for employees?
The transaction goes into error because it was not auto-claimed.
The transaction goes for approval to all the workers who inherit the HR Specialist Sales role.
The transaction will be auto-claimed and assigned randomly to anyone who has the HR Specialist Sales role.
If one of the HR Specialist Sales representatives rejects the transaction, others can still approve it.
One of the HR Specialist Sales representatives should "Claim" the transaction for it to be assigned for approval.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, approval rules for transactions like Change Manager are managed via BPM Worklist. The "Application Role" approval type routes tasks to all users with that role (e.g., HR Specialist Sales), and the "Enable Auto Claim" setting determines assignment behavior.
Option A: Incorrect. Disabling auto-claim does not cause an error; it simply requires manual claiming before approval can proceed.
Option B: Correct. When auto-claim is disabled, the transaction is sent to all users with the HR Specialist Sales role, appearing in their worklist for claiming.
Option C: Incorrect. Without auto-claim, the transaction is not automatically assigned; it requires manual intervention.
Option D: Incorrect. In a parallel approval to multiple role holders, one rejection typically stops the process unless configured otherwise (e.g., consensus or first responder), which is not specified here.
Option E: Correct. With auto-claim disabled, an HR Specialist Sales representative must manually claim the transaction from the worklist to proceed with approval.
The correct answers areBandE, as detailed in "Using Global Human Resources" under Approval Configuration.
A candidate applied for an employment opportunity with a legal employer in the past. The candidate reapplies after some time for an opportunity with a different legal employer in the same enterprise. While applying the second time, the candidate provides a new national identification value. Which option does the application use to check if a matching record already exists in the system?
The application searches for the availability of date of birth and middle name to identify the matching record.
The application cannot identify the matching record, and there will be two person records available for further processing.
Because the national identifier has changed, the system cannot identify the matching record.
The application identifies a match if the first name, the first character of the last name, and date of birth are the same; or if the last name, the first character of the first name, and date of birth are the same.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud uses a matching algorithm to identify duplicate person records during hiring or reapplication, even across legal employers within the same enterprise. This is critical to avoid duplicate records when national identifiers change.
Option A: Date of birth and middle name alone are not the standard criteria; the algorithm uses a broader combination for accuracy.
Option B: Incorrect. The system attempts to match records before creating duplicates, using predefined rules.
Option C: Incorrect. A changed national identifier does not prevent matching; the system relies on other attributes, not solely the identifier.
Option D: Correct. Oracle’s person matching rules (configurable via "Manage Person Duplicate Identification") use combinations like:
First name, first character of last name, and date of birth; or
Last name, first character of first name, and date of birth.These rules identify matches despite a new national identifier, ensuring the candidate is linked to their prior record if other key attributes align.
The correct answer isD, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" on person record matching.
An employee starts employment with her company in France next month. She was employed by the enterprise in the United States for several years but resigned two years ago. Which statement is correct about the person number for the employee?
The employee continues with her old person number if a global sequence is used for person number.
The employee gets a new person number for her employment in France if the legal employer sequence is used for person number.
The employee has a person record with the enterprise, so she will continue with the same person number.
The employee’s new person number will be her previous number suffixed by -1.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the person number is a unique identifier assigned to an individual within the system. The generation of person numbers can be configured at the enterprise or legal employer level using the "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" or "Manage Legal Entity HCM Information" tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. Two common methods for generating person numbers are "Global Sequence" (a single sequence across the enterprise) and "Legal Employer Sequence" (a separate sequence for each legal employer).
Option A: If a global sequence is used, the person number is unique across the enterprise, and typically, a rehired employee might retain their old number if their person record remains active and linked. However, since this employee resigned two years ago, her work relationship with the U.S. legal employer ended. When rehired in France under a different legal employer, Oracle HCM does not automatically reuse the old person number unless explicitly configured to recognize prior records across legal employers, which is not the default behavior for rehires in different jurisdictions.
Option B: When the legal employer sequence is used, each legal employer maintains its own sequence for person numbers. Since the employee is starting employment with a new legal employer in France, she will receive a new person number specific to that legal employer’s sequence, regardless of her previous employment in the U.S. This is the correct behavior as per Oracle’s employment model, where person numbers can differ across legal employers unless a global sequence is enforced and prior records are explicitly linked.
Option C: While the employee has a prior person record with the enterprise, resignation typically ends the active work relationship. When rehired under a different legal employer, a new person number is generated unless the system is configured to reuse the old number (e.g., via global sequence and specific rehire rules). The default behavior does not assume continuity of the same person number across legal employers after a resignation.
Option D: Oracle HCM does not automatically suffix a previous person number with "-1" or any similar pattern for rehires. Person number generation follows the configured sequence method, not a manual or derived modification of prior numbers.
Thus, the correct answer isB, as the legal employer sequence method generates a new person number for the employee in France. This aligns with the documentation in "Implementing Global Human Resources" (e.g., section on Person Number Generation in the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information task).
Which three statements are true about Person Number? (Choose three.)
Initial Person Number can be provided at enterprise level.
If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic if a person record is created.
Person Numbers for contacts are generated automatically.
Initial Person Number cannot be provided at enterprise level.
If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic even if no person record is created.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Person Number in Oracle HCM Cloud is a unique identifier assigned to individuals (employees, contingent workers, contacts, etc.). Its generation method can be configured at the enterprise level, and its behavior depends on the setup.
Option A ("Initial Person Number can be provided at enterprise level"): True. During enterprise setup in the "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" task, you can specify whether Person Numbers are generated automatically or manually and provide an initial value (e.g., starting number). This is documented in the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option C ("Person Numbers for contacts are generated automatically"): True. Contacts (e.g., emergency contacts or dependents) automatically receive Person Numbers when created, regardless of the generation method for employees. This ensures uniqueness across all person types, as per Oracle’s standard functionality.
Option E ("If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic even if no person record is created"): True. The generation method is configurable in the enterprise setup and can be changed from manual to automatic (or vice versa) at any time before or after records are created, though changes after record creation may require careful handling of existing data.
Option B ("If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic if a person record is created"): False. This statement is incomplete and misleading. The method can be changed regardless of whether a record exists, but the wording implies a restriction that isn’t accurate.
Option D ("Initial Person Number cannot be provided at enterprise level"): False. As noted in Option A, the initial value can be set at the enterprise level.
You want to use the Tree Management feature of Functional Setup Manager to organize data into hierarchies. Which option represents seeded tree structures?
Organization, position, division, geographies
Organization, position, department, geographies
Organization, job, division, geographies
Organization, position, division, establishment
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The Tree Management feature in Oracle HCM Cloud’s Functional Setup Manager (FSM) allows defining hierarchical structures for various entities. The seeded (predefined) tree structures supported by Oracle include:Organization(e.g., legal entities, business units),Position(position hierarchies),Department(departmental reporting structures), andGeographies(location-based hierarchies). These are foundational for managing enterprise structures and relationships, as outlined in the documentation.
Option A includes "division," which isn’t a seeded tree type (divisions are part of organizations but not a distinct hierarchy). Option C’s "job" isn’t a hierarchy—jobs are flat structures. Option D’s "establishment" is a legal entity attribute, not a tree type. Option B correctly lists the seeded tree structures: organization, position, department, and geographies.
The Human Resource Representative of the organization is trying to set up the grade rates. During the process, she realizes that the grades were created without steps. Identify two options for adding rates to the grade.
Use the Default Grade Rates that are available upon creating grades.
First add the grade to a grade ladder, then add the rates for each step.
Add the rates separately using the Manage Grade Rates task.
First add the rates for each step, then add the grade to a grade ladder.
Add the rates at the same time as when you add the grade using the Manage Grades task.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, grade rates define the pay values associated with grades, which can be set up with or without steps. When grades are created without steps (i.e., flat grades rather than grade ladders with progression steps), you can still assign rates to them. The system provides multiple methods to achieve this, and the question asks for two correct options.
Option A: Default grade rates are not automatically available upon creating grades unless predefined during initial setup. The system does not inherently provide "default grade rates" for every grade unless explicitly configured, making this option incorrect for grades without steps.
Option B: Adding a grade to a grade ladder implies the grade is part of a stepped structure. However, the question specifies that the grades were created without steps, so this option is not applicable as it assumes a grade ladder with steps exists or needs to be created, which contradicts the scenario.
Option C: The "Manage Grade Rates" task allows you to define salary ranges or specific rates for grades independently of grade ladders. For grades without steps, you can use this task to add rates (e.g., minimum, midpoint, maximum) directly to the grade. This is a valid and straightforward method, making it a correct option.
Option D: This option assumes a stepped structure where rates are added for each step before linking to a grade ladder. Since the grades lack steps, this approach is not feasible in this context.
Option E: The "Manage Grades" task allows you to create or edit grades and, during thisprocess, associate grade rates directly (e.g., by linking to a grade rate range). For grades without steps, you can add rates at the time of grade creation or modification, making this a correct option.
Thus, the two correct options areC(using the Manage Grade Rates task) andE(adding rates via the Manage Grades task). This is supported by Oracle documentation in "Implementing Global Human Resources," which details grade and grade rate setup processes.
Which two statements are true about Action and Action Reasons? (Choose two.)
Terminations predictive analytics uses Actions and Reasons data to identify whether a termination is voluntary or involuntary.
The history of effective date changes can be tracked well by using the Actions framework.
It is mandatory to associate Actions with Action Reasons.
There is always a one-to-one relationship between Action Type and Action.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Actions and Action Reasons in Oracle HCM Cloud categorize and explain employment events (e.g., hires, terminations), supporting tracking and analytics.
Option A ("Terminations predictive analytics uses Actions and Reasons data to identify whether a termination is voluntary or involuntary"): True. Oracle Workforce Predictions leverages Actions (e.g., Termination) and Action Reasons (e.g., Resignation vs. Layoff) to classify terminations, as detailed in the "Using Workforce Predictions" guide.
Option B ("The history of effective date changes can be tracked well by using the Actions framework"): True. The Actions framework logs changes (e.g., promotions, transfers) with effective dates, providing a clear audit trail, per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option C ("It is mandatory to associate Actions with Action Reasons"): False. Action Reasons are optional; an Action (e.g., Termination) can be recorded without a reason.
Option D ("There is always a one-to-one relationship between Action Type and Action"): False. Action Types (e.g., Termination) can have multiple Actions (e.g., Voluntary Termination, Involuntary Termination).
As an HR specialist, you have been asked to create and assign a new schedule to employees that will be working in a new shift. Which steps should you perform to achieve this?
Create a shift, create a work pattern, create a work schedule, and assign the shift through the Manage Employment task.
Create a shift, create a work pattern, create a work schedule, and assign the schedule through work schedule assignment.
Create a shift, create a work pattern, and assign the work pattern through work scheduleassignment.
Create a work pattern, create a shift, create a work schedule, and assign the schedule through work schedule assignment.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
To create and assign a new schedule in Oracle HCM Cloud, follow these steps per the documentation:
Create a Shift: Define the shift (e.g., hours) in Manage Shifts.
Create a Work Pattern: Combine shifts into a pattern (e.g., weekly rotation) in Manage Work Patterns.
Create a Work Schedule: Build the schedule using the pattern in Manage Work Schedules.
Assign the Schedule: Use the "Work Schedule Assignment" task (not Manage Employment directly) to assign the schedule to employees’ assignments.
Option A incorrectly assigns the shift via Manage Employment, which handles assignment details, not schedule assignment. Option C skips creating a work schedule, which is required. Option D reverses the logical order (pattern before shift). Option B accurately reflects the sequence and uses the correct "Work Schedule Assignment" task for assignment.
Challenge 4
Manage Business Unit
Scenario
An additional business unit is required for the newly acquired company to reflect the business rules and policies that must be enforced within the organization.
Task
Create a Business Unit for the technician group, where:
The Code is X Tech Business Unit
The Default set is COMMON
See the solution in Explanation below.
This task requires creating a business unit in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud for the technician group of a newly acquired company. The business unit must have aCodeofX Tech Business Unitand aDefault SetofCOMMON. Below is a verified, step-by-step solution based on Oracle’s official documentation, ensuring accuracy and compliance with the system’s functionality as of the latest releases
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications
Action: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications using a user account with privileges such asApplication Implementation ConsultantorHCM Application Administrator. These roles grant access to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Explanation: TheSetup and Maintenancework area is the central hub for configuration tasks, including managing business units. The user must have permissions to access theWorkforce Structuresfunctional area and theManage Business Unittask. Roles likeApplication Implementation Consultantinclude the necessary privileges (e.g.,Manage Business Unitduty role).
Verification: Oracle documentation confirms that setup tasks require specific security roles, and theManage Business Unittask is restricted to authorized users.
A human resource specialist creates a checklist template with Category Offboarding and Action Termination. An employee retires from the organization and hence his work relationship is terminated with the legal employer. However, there is no Offboarding checklist allocated to the retired employee in the Manage Allocated Checklist region. What is the cause for this?
Action Type was not defined for the checklist.
The Action associated with the checklist does not match the Action selected during the termination process.
Action Reasons were not defined in the checklist.
The Allocate Checklist seeded process must be run to automatically allocate the checklist to the person.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, checklists are used to manage tasks associated with specific HR processes, such as offboarding. When a checklist template is created with a category (e.g., Offboarding) and an action (e.g., Termination), it must be allocated to a worker to appear in the Manage Allocated Checklist region. The allocation does not happen automatically upon termination unless a specific process is triggered.
Option D ("The Allocate Checklist seeded process must be run to automatically allocate the checklist to the person") is correct. Oracle HCM Cloud provides a seeded process called "Allocate Checklists," which must be scheduled or run manually to assign checklists to eligible workers based on predefined criteria (e.g., termination action). If this process is not executed after the termination, the checklist will not appear in the Manage Allocated Checklist region, even if the template is correctly configured. The documentation in "Implementing Global Human Resources" explains that checklist allocation relies on this process to match the worker’s life event (e.g., termination) with the appropriate template.
Option A ("Action Type was not defined for the checklist") is incorrect because the question states the checklist was created with an Action (Termination), implying the Action Type is defined. Action Type is a higher-level classification (e.g., Termination), and its presence is assumed here.
Option B ("The Action associated with the checklist does not match the Action selected during the termination process") could be a potential issue, but the question specifies the checklist uses the "Termination" action, which aligns with the employee retiring (a form of termination). Without evidence of a mismatch, this is not the primary cause.
Option C ("Action Reasons were not defined in the checklist") is incorrect because Action Reasons are optional in checklist templates and not mandatory for allocation. The checklist can still be allocated based on the Action alone.
In HCM Cloud, you can define an employee's work time availability in several ways.
In which order does the application search for an employee's schedule before applying it to an assignment?
Standard working hours, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, then Published schedules
Employment work week, Published schedules, Primary work schedule, then Standard working hours
Published schedules, Employment work week, Primary work schedule, then Standard working hours
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, an employee’s work time availability is determined by applying a work schedule to their assignment. The application follows a specific hierarchy to select the appropriate schedule when multiple sources are available. The question asks for the order in which the system searches for an employee’s schedule.
Hierarchy Explanation: Oracle HCM Cloud uses a predefined order to determine which schedule applies to an employee’s assignment:
Published schedules: These are specific schedules assigned to an employee, often created and published via Oracle Time and Labor or Workforce Management. They take precedence because they are explicitly assigned and tailored to the employee.
Employment work week: Defined at the assignment level, this specifies the employee’s typical work week (e.g., Monday–Friday, 40 hours). It is used if no published schedule exists.
Primary work schedule: Configured at the enterprise or legal entity level, this is a default schedule applied to employees if no assignment-specific work week is defined.
Standard working hours: Set at the enterprise level (viaEnterprise HCM Information), these are the broadest default, used when no other schedules are defined (e.g., 9 AM–5 PM daily).
Option A: Standard working hours, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, then Published schedulesThis option is incorrect because it reverses the hierarchy. Standard working hours are the last resort, not the first, and published schedules have the highest priority, not the lowest. Oracle documentation clearly prioritizes specific assignments over defaults.
Option B: Employment work week, Published schedules, Primary work schedule, then Standard working hoursThis option is incorrect because it placesEmployment work weekbeforePublished schedules. Published schedules are checked first due to their specificity, followed by the employment work week if no published schedule exists.
Option C: Published schedules, Employment work week, Primary work schedule, then Standard working hoursThis is the correct answer. Oracle HCM Cloud follows this exact order to determine an employee’s schedule:
Published schedulesare checked first, as they are explicitly assigned (e.g., via a manager’s action in Time and Labor).
If none exist, theEmployment work weekfrom the assignment is used.
If no work week is defined, thePrimary work schedule(set at a higher level, like legal entity) applies.
Finally,Standard working hoursare used as the fallback if no other schedules are found.This hierarchy ensures the most specific and relevant schedule is applied, aligning with Oracle’s design for flexibility and compliance.
Why this order?The order reflects Oracle’s logic of prioritizing employee-specific configurations (published schedules) over assignment-level settings (employment work week), then falling back to broader defaults (primary work schedule and standard working hours). This ensures accurate availability tracking for payroll, time management, and compliance.

When creating your THEN condition, which Approver Types enable you to configure the Automatic Approval Action type?
Representative, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Users, Representative, Management Hierarchy, Job Level Based Line Manager Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Application Role, Users, Representative, Approval Groups
Management Hierarchy, Job Level Based Line Manager Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Approval Groups, Representative, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud’s Transaction Console, approval rules are defined with "IF" and "THEN" conditions. The "THEN" condition specifies the action, such as "Automatic Approval," and the approver type determines who or what approves the transaction. The Automatic Approval Action type allows a transaction to be approved without human intervention based on predefined rules. According to Oracle documentation, the approver types that support configuring Automatic Approval include Approval Groups (static or dynamic groups of approvers), Representative (e.g., HR or Payroll Representative), Management Hierarchy (based on supervisor hierarchy), and Position Hierarchy (based on position structure). These types can be configured to automatically approve under specific conditions.
Option A omits Approval Groups, which is a valid type for automatic approval. Option B includes "Users" and "Job Level Based Line Manager Hierarchy," but "Users" (individual named users) and "Job Level" are not typically used for automatic approval—they are more suited for manual routing. Option C includes "Application Role," which is used for role-based access, not automatic approval in workflows. Option D misses Approval Groups and Representative, both critical for this feature. Option E correctly lists Approval Groups, Representative, Management Hierarchy, and Position Hierarchy, aligning with Oracle’s supported approver types for automatic approval.
Which new feature has been added to the Redwood Grade Rates page to enhance the search and filtering capabilities?
Capability to search and filter grade rate values by name, code, and set
Option to add custom columns to the grade rate table
A function to compare grade rates across different locations
The Redwood Grade Rates page in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud has been enhanced to improve usability, particularly in searching and filtering grade rate data. The question asks for the new feature added to enhance search and filtering capabilities. Oracle’s 24C release noteshighlight specific improvements to the Redwood interface for grade rates, focusing on streamlined data retrieval.
Option A: Capability to search and filter grade rate values by name, code, and set
This is the correct answer. According to Oracle’s 24C release notes, the Redwood Grade Rates page now includes advanced search and filtering capabilities, allowing users to search and filter grade rates by attributes such as name, code, and set. This enhancement enables HR specialists to quickly locate specific grade rates, for example, filtering by a grade rate name like “Salary Grade 1” or a set code tied to a legislative data group. The feature improves efficiency in managing compensation data, especially in organizations with extensive grade structures, and is explicitly documented as a new Redwood functionality.
Option B: Option to add custom columns to the grade rate table
This option is incorrect. Oracle documentation, including 24C and 25A release notes, does not mention the ability to add custom columns to the grade rate table as a new feature on the Redwood Grade Rates page. While Oracle supports flexfields for customization in other areas, there is no evidence that this specific capability was introduced for grade rates. The focus of Redwood enhancements is on search, filtering, and UI improvements, not custom column additions.
Option C: A function to compare grade rates across different locations
This option is incorrect. There is no documented feature in the 24C or 25A releases that enables comparing grade rates across different locations on the Redwood Grade Rates page. While Oracle HCM Cloud supports location-based configurations (e.g., for payroll or local regulations), the Redwood Grade Rates page enhancements center on search and filter improvements, not comparative analysis across locations. This functionality would require custom reporting or analytics, not a standard page feature.
Why this feature?
The capability to search and filter by name, code, and set directly addresses the need for enhanced search and filtering, making it easier to manage grade rates in a user-friendly Redwood interface. This aligns with Oracle’s focus on improving data accessibility and usability in the 24C release.

Grade structures (grades, grade rates, and grade ladder) were configured for your customer and the required employee assignment data was migrated to the system. However, there was a change in requirement and the customer decided to delete some grades because they were no longer used. When you try to delete one such grade from the system, the system throws an error. Identify three possible reasons for the system error. (Choose three.)
There are assignment records of one or more employees associated with this grade.
The grade has grade rates defined.
The grade is linked to a grade ladder.
A grade cannot be deleted and can only be made inactive by changing the status to "Inactive".
A grade cannot be deleted and can only be end-dated.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, grades are part of the compensation and job structure. Deleting a grade is restricted if it’s referenced elsewhere in the system.
Option A ("There are assignment records of one or more employees associated with this grade"): True. If an employee’s assignment references the grade, deletion is blocked to maintain data integrity, per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option B ("The grade has grade rates defined"): True. Grade rates (e.g., salary ranges) linked to the grade prevent deletion until removed.
Option C ("The grade is linked to a grade ladder"): True. Grades in a grade ladder (progression structure) cannot be deleted until unlinked.
Option D ("A grade cannot be deleted and can only be made inactive by changing the status to 'Inactive'"): False. Grades can be deleted if no dependencies exist; inactivation is an alternative, not a requirement.
Option E ("A grade cannot be deleted and can only be end-dated"): False. End-dating is an option, but deletion is possible if constraints are cleared.
Challenge 3
Manage Reference Data Sets
Scenario
You require a reference set that will be used for associating different groups of departments, jobs, locations, and grades for the newly acquired company.
Task
Create a Set ID that will be used for the technology group, where:
The Code is XTECH
The Set Name is X Tech
See the solution in Explanation below.
This task requires creating a reference data set in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud to associate departments, jobs, locations, and grades for a newly acquired company’s technology group. The reference data set must have aCodeofXTECHand aSet NameofX Tech. Below is a verified, step-by-step solution based on Oracle’s official documentation, ensuring accuracy and compliance with the system’s functionality as of the latest releases
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications
Action: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications using a user account with privileges such asApplication Implementation ConsultantorHCM Application Administrator. These roles grant access to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Explanation: TheSetup and Maintenancework area is the central hub for configuration tasks, including managing reference data sets. The user must havepermissions to access theWorkforce StructuresorReference Data Setsfunctional area and theManage Reference Data Setstask. Roles likeApplication Implementation Consultantinclude the necessary privileges (e.g.,Manage Reference Data Setduty role).
Verification: Oracle documentation confirms that setup tasks require specific security roles, and theManage Reference Data Setstask is restricted to authorized users.
Your customer wants you to create a new resource alert for the upcoming probation period end dates. Which statement is true about being able to configure a resource alert in Alerts Composer?
You must have the required functional privileges and access levels to create and modify user-defined and predefined alerts but it is NOT necessary to have the required functional privileges to access the REST API resources.
You must have the predefined alerts privilege to create user-defined alerts.
You must have the user-defined alerts privilege to modify predefined alerts.
You must have both functional privileges and access to the REST API resources to create alerts.
You can create alerts without having any privileges assigned to your user account.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Alerts Composer in Oracle HCM Cloud allows creating and managing resource alerts, such as probation period end dates. The documentation specifies security requirements: to create or modify user-defined alerts, users need the "Human Capital Management Integration Specialist" role or a custom role with the "Manage User Defined Alerts" privilege (not a generic "predefined alerts" or "user-defined alerts" privilege). However, modifying predefined (seeded) alerts specifically requires the "Manage User Defined Alerts" privilege, as predefined alerts are treated as customizable templates. Access to REST API resources is optional and only relevant if integrating alerts externally, not for basic configuration in Alerts Composer.
Option A is incorrect because it misrepresents the privilege name and REST API necessity. Option B’s "predefined alerts privilege" doesn’t exist—privileges are more specific. Option D adds an unnecessary REST API requirement. Option E is false—privileges are mandatory. Option C correctly identifies the need for a user-defined alerts privilege (aligned with "Manage User Defined Alerts") to modify predefined alerts.
In the Enterprise Business Process Model, which three of the following implementation tasks must be performed to create enterprise structures?
Define Currency
Define Enterprise
Define Reference Data Sharing
Define Enterprise Structure
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
To create enterprise structures in Oracle HCM Cloud, the following tasks are essential:
Define Enterprise (B): Establishes the top-level enterprise entity.
Define Reference Data Sharing (C): Sets up data sharing rules across business units.
Define Enterprise Structure (D): Configures the hierarchy and components (e.g., Legal Entities, Business Units).
As an implementation consultant, you have configured several rules in Transaction Design Studio within the test environment. How do you migrate these changes to your production environment?
Use the Configuration Package capabilities within the Configuration > Migration work area
Use the Configuration Package capabilities of Functional Setup Manager to export the configurations
Transaction Design Studio changes can’t be migrated from one instance to another. You will need to reconfigure the transactions within your production environment
Use the Configuration Set Migration tool within the Configuration > Migration work area
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Transaction Design Studio (TDS) customizations, such as rules for transactions, are migrated using the Configuration Set Migration tool, as per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide. Located in the Configuration > Migration work area, this tool allows export and import of TDS configurations between environments (e.g., test to production). Option A refers to a broader migration capability, not specific to TDS. Option B (Functional Setup Manager) is for setup data, not TDS rules. Option C is incorrect, as migration is supported. Thus, Option D is correct.
As the Workflow Administrator, you are responsible for ensuring that approval workflows are handled on time.
If you notice outstanding notifications, how can you move an approval along?
Push back the workflow to another Approver.
Reassign the workflow to another Approver.
Approve the workflow on behalf of the assigned Approver.
A worker in an organization will be holding a new position because the worker holding the position has gone on maternity leave. When the second worker returns from maternity leave, the former will be moved back to his or her old position. His or her payroll and legal reporting will be the same even after the position changes. Which transfer method should be used for the first movement of the said worker?
Transfer
Temporary Assignment
Global Transfer
Global Temporary Assignment
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud provides various transfer actions to manage worker movements. The scenario involves a temporary position change with a return to the original position, and payroll/legal reporting remaining unchanged.
Option A: A Transfer is a permanent move to a new assignment or position, not suitable for a temporary scenario with a planned return.
Option B: Correct. A Temporary Assignment allows a worker to take on a new position or assignment for a fixed period, with the system retaining the original assignment for automatic reversion. Payroll and legal reporting can remain tied to the primary assignment, fitting the requirement.
Option C: Global Transfer is for permanent moves across legal employers or countries, not applicable here.
Option D: Global Temporary Assignment is for temporary international moves, not relevant for a same-entity, same-reporting scenario.
The correct answer isB, as per "Using Global Human Resources" on temporary assignments.
When initiating the Change Manager transaction for employees, the first-level approval is assigned to the HR Specialist Sales application role. In the approval rule configuration for Change Manager, the option to Enable Auto Claim is not selected. What happens in this case?
The transaction goes for approval to all the workers who inherit the HR Specialist Sales role and one of the HR Specialist Sales representatives needs to “Claim” the transaction for it to be assigned for approval
The transaction has to be approved by all HR Specialist Sales representatives for it to be approved; if one of the HR Specialist Sales representatives rejects the transaction, others can still approve it
The transaction goes for approval to all the workers who inherit the HR Specialist Sales role; the transaction will be auto-claimed and assigned randomly to anyone who has the HR Specialist Salesrole
The transaction goes into error because it was not auto-claimed and if one of the HR Specialist Sales representatives rejects the transaction, others can still approve it
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud’s BPM Worklist, when an approval task (e.g., Change Manager) is assigned to an application role like "HR Specialist Sales" with multiple inheritors, the "Enable Auto Claim" setting determines assignment behavior. If Auto Claim is disabled (not selected), the task is sent to all users with the role as a shared notification. One of these users mustmanually "Claim" the task in the worklist to take ownership and proceed with approval or rejection. Until claimed, the task remains unassigned to a specific individual, ensuring only one approver acts after claiming.
Option B (all must approve) misrepresents the process—only one approval is needed post-claim. Option C (auto-claimed randomly) contradicts the disabled Auto Claim setting. Option D (error) is incorrect—disabling Auto Claim doesn’t cause errors; it just requires manual claiming. Option A accurately describes the behavior: the task goes to all HR Specialist Sales role holders, and one must claim it, per Oracle’s approval framework.
Which two options are not methods by which a line manager can promote his subordinate "John" in the application? (Choose two.)
The line manager can select My Portrait and click Promote under the Actions menu.
The line manager can enter Promote John in the Person Gallery Keyword Search, which launches the promotion process automatically.
The line manager can promote John from Organization Chart Actions under Personal and Employment.
The line manager can access John's portrait and click Promote under the Actions menu.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, line managers can initiate promotions for subordinates via specific navigation paths, but not all options listed are valid methods.
Option A ("The line manager can select My Portrait and click Promote under the Actions menu"): Incorrect (thus an answer). "My Portrait" refers to the manager’s own profile, not the subordinate’s, so this cannot be used to promote John.
Option B ("The line manager can enter Promote John in the Person Gallery Keyword Search, which launches the promotion process automatically"): Incorrect (thus an answer). The Person Gallery Keyword Search allows searching for people or actions, but typing "Promote John" does not automatically launch the promotion process; it requires further navigation.
Option C ("The line manager can promote John from Organization Chart Actions under Personal and Employment"): Correct (not an answer). The Organization Chart provides actions like Promote for subordinates, a valid method.
Option D ("The line manager can access John's portrait and click Promote under the Actions menu"): Correct (not an answer). Accessing John’s portrait in the Person Gallery and selecting Promote from the Actions menu is a standard method.
Which option represents the basis on which approval routing policies can be defined?
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Grades, Approval Groups, Organization Hierarchy
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels, Approval Groups
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels, Approval Groups, Organization Hierarchy
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, approval routing policies determine how transactions (e.g., promotions, transfers) are routed for approval. These policies are configured using the "Manage Approval Transactions" task and rely on specific hierarchies and groups.
Option B ("Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels, Approval Groups") is correct. Oracle HCM Cloud supports the following bases for defining approval rules:
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy: Routes approvals through the employee’s reporting structure.
Position Hierarchy: Uses the position hierarchy if positions are implemented.
Job Levels: Routes based on job level differences (e.g., requiring higher-level approval for significant changes).
Approval Groups: Predefined groups of approvers for specific transactions.
The "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide confirms these as the standard components.Grades and Organization Hierarchy (e.g., Department or Division) are not directly used in approval routing policies, making other options incorrect.
Option A includes "Grades" and "Organization Hierarchy," which are not standard bases.
Option C omits "Approval Groups," which is a key component.
Option D adds "Organization Hierarchy," which is not supported for approval routing.
A user has reported that one of his or her saved transactions was not available anymore from the transaction page. What could be the reason for this behavior?
The saved transaction was withdrawn by HR
An identical transaction that was initiated for the person by another user was applied to the database
The saved transaction was rejected by the approval authority
The saved transaction was future dated. The application displays only those transactions where the transaction date is less than or equal to system date
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, saved transactions can disappear from view if overridden, as per the "Using Global Human Resources" guide. When an identical transaction (e.g., same person and action) is initiated by another user and applied to the database, it supersedes the saved one, removing it from the user’s view (Option B). Option A (withdrawn by HR) isn’t a standard process for saved transactions. Option C (rejected) would leave it visible with a status.Option D (future dated) affects visibility but not removal. Thus, Option B is correct.
When creating a Legal Entity, to allow for configuration of Work Day and Employment Model information on the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information task, which check box must be selected for configurable data to appear?
Payroll Statutory Unit
Legal Entity Identifier
EIN or TIN
Legal Employer
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
When creating a Legal Entity in Oracle HCM Cloud, selecting theLegal Employercheck box designates the entity as an employer, unlocking additional configuration options in the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information task, such as Work Day Information and Employment Model.
A(Payroll Statutory Unit) enables payroll-related settings but not necessarily Work Day or Employment Model.
As an implementation consultant, you have been assigned the task of configuring Person Name Format within Workforce Information. Which two features can you configure through this task?
The way a worker’s name appears on top of employee-level pages.
The name fields that appear in the Person Details section when you are hiring an employee.
The appearance of a worker’s name when it appears in search results.
What name fields are required when completing the Person Details section when hiring or updating a worker’s person details.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Person Name Format configuration within the "Manage Workforce Information" task allows customization of how names are displayed across the application. This is distinct from defining name fields or their required status, which is handled elsewhere (e.g., via flexfields or page composer).
Option A: You can configure the display format of a worker’s name (e.g., "First Last" or "Last, First") at the top of employee-level pages, such as the Employment Info page. This is a key feature of the Person Name Format task, making it correct.
Option B: The name fields shown in the Person Details section during hiring are predefinedby the system or customized via page composer/flexfields, not directly through the Person Name Format task, which focuses on display format rather than field visibility.
Option C: The format of a worker’s name in search results (e.g., Directory or Person Search) can be configured here, allowing consistency in name presentation across the application. This is a supported feature, making it correct.
Option D: Defining required name fields (e.g., First Name as mandatory) is managed through the Person Details setup or flexfield configuration, not the Person Name Format task, which is about display rather than data entry rules.
The correct answers areAandC, as confirmed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Workforce Information setup.
Which two options can be directly mapped to the employee record during hiring?
Division
Payroll Statutory Unit
Sub-Division
Legal Employer
Job Family
Business Unit
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
During the hiring process in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, certain workforce structure elements are directly mapped to the employee’s record (via Manage Employment or Hire an Employee).
Option A: Division is not directly mapped; it’s derived via hierarchy (e.g., department).
Option B: PSU is linked to payroll, not directly to the employee record during hiring.
Option C: Sub-Division is not a standard field or object in Oracle HCM.
Option D: Correct. Legal Employer is a mandatory field assigned during hiring, defining the employing entity.
Option E: Job Family is a categorization, not directly mapped to the record.
Option F: Correct. Business Unit can be directly assigned to an assignment during hiring, reflecting operational structure.
The correct answers areDandF, per "Using Global Human Resources" on hiring processes.
When creating a checklist task, you must assign a task performer. What values are supported?
Worker, Manager, Initiator, User, Area of Responsibility
Worker, Manager, Initiator, User, Area of Responsibility, HR Specialist Job Role
Worker, Manager, Initiator, Area of Responsibility
Worker, Manager, Initiator, User, HR Specialist Data Role
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
When configuring checklist tasks in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, a task performer must be assigned to indicate who is responsible for completing the task. The "Using Global Human Resources" guide under "Checklists" specifies the supported performer types as: Worker (the individual the checklist pertains to), Manager (the worker’s line manager), Initiator (the person who triggered the checklist), User (a specific named user), and Area of Responsibility (a group defined by responsibility criteria, such as HR representatives). Option A lists all five supported values accurately. Option B adds "HR Specialist Job Role," which is not a directly supported performer type for checklists (job roles are used in security, not task assignment). Option C omits "User," and Option D incorrectly includes "HR Specialist Data Role" instead of "Area of Responsibility." Thus, A is the correct answer.
You are a Global Human Resources Implementation consultant and your client wants to track external training within the worker talent profile. What steps should you follow to create this new content type and ensure it displays on the Skills and Qualifications page?
Create a new content item, create a new content type, link the content item to the person profile.
Create a new content type, create content items for that type, link the content type to the person profile.
Create a new content type, create content items for that type, link the content type to the model profile.
Create a new content item, create a new content type, link the content item to the model profile.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, tracking external training in the talent profile (Skills and Qualifications page) requires configuring content types and items via "Manage Content Types" and "Manage Content Items."
Option A: Incorrect. The sequence is off; content types must precede content items, and "person profile" linking is vague.
Option B: Correct:
Create a new content type (e.g., "External Training") via Manage Content Types.
Create content items (e.g., specific training courses) under that type.
Link the content type to the person profile (via Manage Profile Types, associating it with the Skills and Qualifications section).
This ensures display on the page.
Option C: Incorrect. Linking to a "model profile" (e.g., job/role profile) doesn’t target individual worker records.
Option D: Incorrect. Content items come after content types, and model profile linking is irrelevant.
The correct answer is B, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on talent profiles.
Which task in the Setup and Maintenance work area generates position codes automatically?
Manage Legal Entity HCM Information
Manage Position Synchronization
Manage Enterprise HCM Information
Manage Position Codes
Manage Positions
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, position codes are unique identifiers for positions, and their automatic generation is configured at the enterprise level.
Option A: "Manage Legal Entity HCM Information" sets legal employer-specific options (e.g., worker numbers) but not position codes.
Option B: "Manage Position Synchronization" handles position-to-assignment synchronization, not code generation.
Option C: Correct. "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" allows enabling automatic position code generation across the enterprise, typically via the Position Code Generation setting.
Option D: There’s no "Manage Position Codes" task; this is a fictitious option.
Option E: "Manage Positions" is for creating/editing positions but doesn’t configure automatic code generation.
The correct answer isC, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on enterprise setup.
By default, any user who has access to Checklist Templates can create Task Groups to create a group of common tasks.
How can we restrict the creation by Role?
Configure Role in Category Security.
Configure Exclude Rules from Workforce Structures.
Configure Person Security Profile.
Position Synchronization in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud allows assignments to inherit values from associated positions, streamlining workforce management by ensuring consistency between position definitions and employee assignments. The question asks for three advantages of using Position Synchronization, given that the customer has chosen Position Management for this functionality. The provided web results offer detailed insights into how Position Synchronization operates, which are leveraged here to validate the answer.
Option A: The customer can configure which assignment attributes to synchronize from the position.This is a correct answer. Position Synchronization allows customers to select specific attributes (e.g., job, department, location, manager) to synchronize from the position to the assignment. This configurability is set at the enterprise or legal entity level using tasks likeManage Enterprise HCM InformationorManage Legal Entity HCM Information. For example, a customer might choose to synchronize the job and manager but not the location, tailoring the synchronization to their needs. Oracle documentation confirms that users can specify which attributes are inherited, providing flexibility in workforce management.
Option B: For synchronized attributes, any position update will automatically be pushed to the incumbents' assignments.This is a correct answer. When Position Synchronization is enabled, changes to synchronized attributes in a position (e.g., updating a position’s department) are automatically reflected in all active assignments linked to that position. This automation reduces manual updates and ensures consistency across incumbents’ assignments. TheSynchronize Person Assignments from Positionprocess may be required for retroactive changes, but for active assignments, updates are typically automatic for synchronized attributes. Oracle documentation highlights that synchronized attributes inherit changes, streamlining maintenance.
Option C: Synchronized attributes will be displayed as read-only in the assignment to ensure the position as the only source of truth.This is a correct answer. To maintain data integrity, synchronized attributes in an assignment are displayed as read-only, preventing manual edits at the assignment level unless override is explicitly allowed. For instance, if the manager attribute is synchronized, the assignment’s manager field cannot be changed directly, ensuring the position remains the single source of truth. Oracle documentation notes that this read-only behavior enforces consistency, though overrides can be configured if needed.
Option D: If you use Position Synchronization, Manager Self Service cannot be used.This option is incorrect. There is no restriction in Oracle HCM Cloud preventing the use ofManager Self Servicewhen Position Synchronization is enabled. Manager Self Service allows managers to perform actions like viewing team details or initiating transactions, and these functions are compatible with Position Synchronization. Oracle documentation does not mention any such limitation, and Position Synchronization operates independently of self-service capabilities, making this option invalid.
Why these three advantages?The advantages inA,B, andCdirectly align with the benefits of Position Synchronization:configurability(choosing attributes),automation(automatic updates), anddata integrity(read-only attributes). These features reduce administrative effort, ensure consistency, and maintain a single source of truth, which are critical for effective workforce management. OptionDis a false statement, as Position Synchronization does not restrict Manager Self Service.

Section: Workforce Structures Enhancements: “Position Synchronization improvements for attribute management.” ==================
Your customer is using Position Synchronization and wants some flexibility to override, in certain cases, fields that are synchronized. Which two choices below can accommodate this request?
Even if override is allowed, the “Synchronize from Position” attribute is displayed only for the professional user.
If override is allowed at Enterprise HCM Information or Legal Entity level, the user can select values to be excluded from synchronization.
To exclude a specific assignment from being synchronized, the user needs to set the “Synchronize from Position” attribute to No.
By leaving that attribute blank at the position.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Position Synchronization in Oracle HCM Cloud allows assignments to inherit values from associated positions, but flexibility to override synchronized fields is supported. Option B is correct because when position synchronization is enabled at the Enterprise (via Manage Enterprise HCM Information) or Legal Entity level (via Manage Legal Entity HCM Information), the "Allow Override at Assignment" option can be selected. This allows users to choose which synchronized attributes (e.g., department, job) can be overridden at the assignment level, excluding them from synchronization as needed. Option C is also correct because the "Synchronize from Position" attribute (also called Position Override in HCM Data Loader) on an individual assignment can be set to "No" to exclude that specific assignment from synchronization entirely, providing granular control.
Option A is incorrect because the "Synchronize from Position" attribute visibility is not restricted to professional users—it’s available in the UI or via HCM Data Loader for authorized users. Option D is invalid because leaving the attribute blank at the position level does not affect synchronization behavior—synchronization is controlled at the assignment or configuration level, not by null values at the position. Thus, B and C are the two correct choices.
Your customer has confirmed that their organization needs Job Codes to be autogenerated for the Job creation task.
As an implementation consultant, how do you achieve this?
On the Enterprise HCM Information task, select either of the Automatic options in the Job Code Generation Method field.
On the Job task, as you create a Job, select Automatic Upon Final Save in the Job Code Generation Method field.
This configuration option is not currently available; an enhancement request needs to be submitted to Oracle.
The customer requires job codes to be autogenerated during the job creation task in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. Job codes uniquely identify jobs (e.g., “ENG001” for an Engineer role) and are typically entered manually or configured with specific rules. The question asks how to achieve autogeneration of job codes as an implementation consultant.
Option A: On the Enterprise HCM Information task, select either of the Automatic options in the Job Code Generation Method field.This option is incorrect. TheEnterprise HCM Informationtask is used to configure enterprise-level settings, such as name, location, and employment model defaults, but Oracle documentation does not list aJob Code Generation Methodfield or any automatic options for job code generation within this task. While other codes (e.g., person numbers or position codes) can be autogenerated in specific tasks, job codes are not supported for autogeneration at the enterprise level, making this option invalid.
Option B: On the Job task, as you create a Job, select Automatic Upon Final Save in the Job Code Generation Method field.This option is incorrect. In theManage Jobstask, when creating a job, fields likeJob Code,Name,Family, andSetare available, but there is noJob Code Generation Methodfield or anAutomatic Upon Final Saveoption. Oracle requires users to manually enter job codes or use predefined values, and no standard functionality supports automatic job code generation during job creation, as confirmed by documentation.
Option C: This configuration option is not currently available; an enhancement request needs to be submitted to Oracle.This is the correct answer. Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud does not currently offer a built-in feature to autogenerate job codes during job creation. Job codes must bemanually specified in theManage Jobstask or imported via HCM Data Loader with predefined values. For example, creating a job like “Software Engineer” requires entering a code like “SE001” manually. If the customer requires autogeneration (e.g., sequential codes like JOB001, JOB002), this would necessitate custom development or a product enhancement. Oracle’s Idea Lab or support portal allows customers to submit enhancement requests for new features, making this the appropriate solution.
Why this answer?Oracle’s job management functionality is robust but lacks native support for autogenerating job codes, unlike other entities (e.g., person numbers or requisition numbers). The absence of this feature in theManage Jobs,Enterprise HCM Information, or related tasks, as per 24C and 25A documentation, confirms that an enhancement request is the only path to meet the customer’s need.

As part of a client’s configuration requirements, they have indicated that they want to create divisions by Line of Business within HCM Cloud. After creating them, in which two ways can you associate workers with a specific division?
Division is a delivered field on a position. If you are using Positions, when you associate a worker with a position, they will be associated with the division tied to that position.
You have configured an Organization Tree, listing the hierarchy of your Legal Entities,Divisions, Business Units, and Departments. You associate a worker with a department that falls within a division to associate the worker with that division.
Division is a delivered field on the worker assignment, so when a worker is hired, the correct division would be selected by the user entering the information.
You configure and deploy an assignment descriptive flexfield that has a table value set that references the Division object. When you complete a worker’s assignment, you select the appropriate division through that flexfield segment.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, divisions are part of the workforce structure and can be associated with workers indirectly through other structures like positions, departments, or flexfields.
Option A: Incorrect. Division is not a delivered field on the position object; it’s a separate workforce structure. While positions can link to departments or business units, they do not inherently carry a division field.
Option B: Correct. By configuring an Organization Tree (via Manage Organization Trees), you can define a hierarchy where departments roll up to divisions. Associating a worker with a department in this hierarchy links them to the corresponding division indirectly.
Option C: Incorrect. Division is not a standard delivered field on the worker assignment; it must be configured via flexfields or derived through hierarchy.
Option D: Correct. You can extend the assignment record using a descriptive flexfield (DFF), defining a segment with a table value set linked to the Division object. During assignment creation, selecting a division in this segment associates the worker with it.
The correct answers areBandD, as supported by "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Workforce Structures and Flexfields.
As an employee of an organization, you can access your Public Information/Spotlight page within the Directory. What updates are you allowed to directly make on the My Public Info page that all users with access to your Public Spotlight will be able to view?
Area of expertise, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and HR representative information
Your answer is incorrect
About me, area of expertise, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and peer information
Home address, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and background photo
About me, contact information, profile photo, public message, favorites, and background photo
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Public Info/Spotlight page in the Directory allows employees to update certain fields visible to others, managed via the "Edit My Public Info" action.
Option A: "HR representative information" is not editable by employees; it’s system-managed.
Option B: Not a valid answer option.
Option C: "Peer information" is not a standard editable field on the public profile.
Option D: "Home address" is private and not part of the public profile; it’s restricted.
Option E: Correct. Employees can update:
About me (bio),
Contact information (e.g., work phone),
Profile photo,
Public message (status),
Favorites (e.g., interests),
Background photo (header image).
The correct answer is E, per "Using Global Human Resources" on Directory features.
You want to track changes to certain Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud records, for example, changes to employment and assignment records. You want to create your own actions and associate them with predefined action types. Which two statements are true about actions? (Choose two.)
Only one action can be associated with an action type
Actions can be accessed via Smart Navigator, and available actions are based on the security access
An action must always have an action reason associated
User-defined actions can be created and linked to predefined action types
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Per the "Managing Workforce Records" guide:
Option A: False. Multiple Actions can be linked to a single Action Type (e.g., multiple promotion Actions under the Promotion Action Type).
Option B: True. Actions are accessible via Smart Navigator, and visibility depends on the user’s security access (e.g., role-based permissions).
Option C: False. An Action Reason is optional, not mandatory, depending on configuration.
You hired an employee on January 1, 2015. This employee got married on June 12, 2015. You received a request from the employee on July 11, 2015, to change their last name from the date of the marriage. You changed the last name of the employee as requested on the same day. What effective start date for this new employee is displayed by the system as of August 15, 2015?
July 11, 2015
June 12, 2015
January 1, 2015
August 15, 2015
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the "effective start date" for an employee typically refers to the start date of their person record or a specific change, depending on context. Here, the question involves a name change backdated to the marriage date, and we need the effective start date displayed as of August 15, 2015.
Option A: July 11, 2015, is the date the change was requested and processed. However, the name change was applied retroactively to the marriage date, not this transaction date.
Option B: Correct. June 12, 2015, is the marriage date, and the request was to update the last name effective from that date. In Oracle HCM, when you update a person’s name with an effective date (via Manage Person or a similar task), the system records this as the effective start date of the name change. As of August 15, 2015, the system displays the name change effective from June 12, 2015, reflecting the backdated update.
Option C: January 1, 2015, is the hire date and the initial effective start date of the person record. However, the name change overrides this for the specific attribute (last name), and the question implies the effective date tied to the update.
Option D: August 15, 2015, is the "as of" date, not an effective start date for any change or the employee’s record.
The correct answer isB, as the effective start date of the name change is June 12, 2015, per "Using Global Human Resources" on managing person data with effective dating.
Position Management settings are configurable on both the Enterprise HCM Information and the Legal Entity HCM Information tasks. Which settings can be set at the Enterprise level but can be overwritten at the Legal Entity level?
Position Synchronization Configuration settings
Position Synchronization Configuration and Position Incumbent Validation settings
Position Synchronization Configuration, Position Hierarchy Configuration, and Position Incumbent Validation settings
Position Synchronization Configuration and Position Hierarchy Configuration settings
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, Position Management settings are defined at the Enterprise level (via Manage Enterprise HCM Information) and can be overridden at the Legal Entity level (via Manage Legal Entity HCM Information). The documentation specifies thatPosition Synchronization Configurationsettings (e.g., enabling synchronization, allowing overrides) are configurable at both levels, with Legal Entity settings taking precedence if specified. This allows tailored synchronization behavior per legal entity while maintaining an enterprise default.
Position Incumbent Validation (e.g., validating position assignments) and Position Hierarchy Configuration (e.g., hierarchy rules) are managed separately and not explicitly noted as overrideable at the Legal Entity level in the same way. Options B, C, and D include additionalsettings that lack evidence of Legal Entity override capability in the documentation. Option A correctly identifies Position Synchronization Configuration as the overrideable setting.
What values on the Enterprise HCM Information task can you override on the Manage Legal Employer Information task?
Work day information, initial person number, employment model, position synchronization configuration, worker number generation
Work day information, person number generation method, employment model, position synchronization configuration, worker number generation
Work day information, user account generation, employment model, position synchronization configuration, worker number generation
Work day information, employment model, position synchronization configuration, worker number generation
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" task sets global defaults, while "Manage Legal Entity HCM Information" allows overrides for specific legal employers.
Option A: "Initial person number" is not a field; it’s likely meant as person number generation, but the term is incorrect.
Option B: Correct. You can override:
Work day information (e.g., standard hours),
Person number generation method (e.g., manual/automatic),
Employment model (e.g., single/multiple assignments),
Position synchronization configuration (e.g., enable/disable),
Worker number generation (e.g., employee/contingent worker numbering).
Option C: "User account generation" is managed via security setup, not legal employer settings.
Option D: Misses person number generation, an overrideable field.
The correct answer isB, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on enterprise vs. legal entity settings.
You approved a workflow request and sent it to the second-level approver as an HR specialist. However, it is still in your worklist notification. Which are two reasons for this?
The second-level approver might have rejected the request.
The second-level approver might have executed a pushback on the request.
The second-level approver might have approved the request.
The second-level approver might have opted for an ad hoc route.
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, workflow requests follow a defined approval process managed by the Business Process Management (BPM) Worklist, which tracks notifications and tasks for approvers. When an HR specialist approves a workflow request and forwards it to the second-level approver, the expectation is that the task will move out of the first approver’s worklist. However, if the task remains in the HR specialist’s worklist, it indicates that the workflow has returned to them due to specific actions taken by the second-level approver.
According to the Oracle HCM Cloud documentation, the two reasons the workflow request might still appear in the HR specialist’s worklist are:
The second-level approver rejected the request: If the second-level approver rejects the request, the workflow task may return to the previous approver (in this case, the HR specialist) for further action, such as review, correction, or resubmission.
The second-level approver executed a pushback on the request: A pushback action allows the second-level approver to return the task to the previous approver without rejecting it outright, typically for clarification or additional information. This keeps the task active in the HR specialist’s worklist.
The exact extract from the Oracle documentation states:
"When a task is assigned to an approver, they can approve, reject, or push back the task. If a task is rejected, it may return to the previous approver or initiator based on the workflow configuration. A pushback sends the task back to the previous approver for further action, such as providing additional details or addressing concerns, without terminating the workflow."
Why the other options are incorrect:
Option C (The second-level approver might have approved the request): This is incorrect because if the second-level approver approves the request, the workflow would proceed to the next stage (if any) or complete, removing the task from the HR specialist’s worklist. Approval does not cause the task to remain with the previous approver.
Option D (The second-level approver might have opted for an ad hoc route): This is incorrect because an ad hoc route involves reassigning or delegating the task to another approver, which would not cause the task to return to the HR specialist’s worklist. Instead, it would move to the new approver’s worklist.
Detailed Analysis of Correct Options:
Rejection (Option A): A rejection by the second-level approver may trigger the workflow to revert to the previous approver (HR specialist) depending on the workflow rules configured in the system. For example, the workflow might be set up to allow the HR specialist to address the reason for rejection and resubmit the request.
Pushback (Option B): A pushback is a specific action in Oracle HCM workflows that explicitly returns the task to the previous approver for further input or clarification.Unlike rejection, pushback does not terminate the workflow but keeps it active, requiring the HR specialist to take additional action.
