SAP Certified - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Core and Position Management (C_THR81_2605) Sample Questions:

1. In a public cloud SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central tenant, a consultant is validating a job information transaction for internal transfers. During testing in the web-based UI, the transfer event saves for some employees but fails for others with a validation message that the selected event reason is not valid for the target employee situation.
The customer recently refined event reason usage to separate promotions, lateral moves, and temporary assignments. HR administrators can still open and edit the affected employee records, and no access errors appear. The project team needs a correction that preserves the intended transaction controls and avoids collapsing multiple business cases into one generic transfer reason before training begins.
What should the consultant do first to resolve the issue correctly?
Response:

A) Grant broader edit permissions to HR administrators for job information so the blocked transactions can bypass the validation.
B) Review the event reason configuration and its permitted transaction context, then correct the mapping or assignment for the transfer scenarios that are failing.
C) Replace the specialized transfer event reasons with one broad event reason so all transfer transactions can be saved consistently.
D) Reimport the affected employee records so the system refreshes their current job information before retesting the transfer action.

2. <strong>CHALLENGE 2 &#x2014; Department Position Control for Manager Updates</strong> A department manager can initiate a position update for one clinic department, but a comparable update in a rehabilitation department remains with HR shared services instead of reaching the expected reviewer. HR suggests completing the remaining updates centrally to keep the schedule.
Which response best preserves the value of the validation cycle?
Response:

A) Allow HR shared services to complete the remaining updates centrally because the position records can still be changed.
B) Stop position-update testing until every department and manager record in the network is manually reviewed.
C) Assign every department manager to all open position updates so that no request remains with HR shared services.
D) Validate position department context and manager responsibility assignments before deciding whether HR completion is appropriate.

3. A consultant is validating a position-based review preparation process before a talent planning checkpoint in a public cloud SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Position Management tenant. In the web-based UI, HR specialists update selected positions to a review-ready state and save successfully. The new state is visible on the position records, but for positions in one newly introduced organizational branch the linked employee-side review eligibility marker does not update during follow-up validation.
Other branches behave correctly. The customer wants to preserve position-driven administration and avoid separate employee-side maintenance after each position update. The affected records all belong to a branch added during the latest configuration cycle, and the consultant must correct the issue without redesigning the broader review-readiness process.
What is the best first action?
Response:

A) Give planning users broader edit access to the employee eligibility field so they can repair missing updates directly after each position save.
B) Recreate the affected positions under an older organizational branch so the downstream update behavior matches earlier records.
C) Review the dependency between the new organizational branch and downstream review-eligibility propagation, then correct the configuration or binding controlling the linked employee update.
D) Ask HR specialists to update the employee review-eligibility marker manually for the new branch until the planning checkpoint is completed.

4. <strong>CHALLENGE 1 &#x2014; Foundation Data Sequence for Field Workforce Setup</strong> During validation, several position records can be selected during employee assignment, but the regional context shown later in review does not match the expected operating area. The team confirms that some corporate data values were created after the initial position import.
Which action best supports a controlled correction before the next manager test cycle?
Response:

A) Continue manager validation and document the behavior as a known limitation until the next rollout wave.
B) Expand HR specialist permissions temporarily so that users can correct affected employee and position records during testing.
C) Reload all employee and position records so that every imported object is rebuilt using the newest corporate data values.
D) Validate the active foundation data referenced by affected records, then selectively correct or reload only dependent records with confirmed mismatches.

5. <strong>CHALLENGE 4 &#x2014; Manager Change Workflow for Store and Warehouse Contexts</strong> After a targeted correction to warehouse position context, one manager-change request routes to the expected district reviewer. Another comparable warehouse request still remains with HR operations.
Which next step best avoids a partial-fix trap?
Response:

A) Close workflow validation because at least one corrected warehouse request reached the expected reviewer.
B) Retest representative manager-change transactions across affected warehouse contexts and compare reviewer outcomes.
C) Remove HR operations visibility from pending workflow requests so district review becomes the only visible path.
D) Apply the same position-context correction to every warehouse record and assume routing will align after refresh.
