Explanation:

The configuration of Auto Delegation is a two-part process involving the system's data structure and user access control:

Corporate Data Model Configuration (D):
The wfConfig (Workflow Configuration) hris-element in the Corporate Data Model must be updated to include the allow-delegate field. This enables the system-level capability for workflows to be delegated. While modern instances often use "Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structures" to set "Is Delegate Supported" to "Yes" on specific workflows, the foundational requirement involves the Corporate Data Model structure.

Role-Based Permissions (B):
Once the system supports delegation, you must grant users the specific permission to use it. This is found under User Permissions > General User Permission > Allow Auto Delegation. Without this RBP, users will not see the "Delegate My Workflows" option on their homepage or in their profile.

Why Other Options Are Not Correct:

Option A (Succession Data Model):
The Succession Data Model is used for person-based data (like Name, Address, and Job Info fields). Workflow configuration and foundation-level settings like delegation triggers reside in the Corporate Data Model, not the Succession Data Model.

Option C (Delegate Relationship):
While you can define relationships in SuccessFactors (like Manager/Matrix Manager), there is no specific "delegate relationship" that must be pre-defined in Employee Central for this feature. The user chooses their delegatee directly through the "Auto-Delegate" UI at the time they turn the feature on.

References:
SAP Help Portal - Implementing and Managing Workflows: Explicitly states that administrators must add the field to the wfConfig element in the Corporate Data Model and grant "Allow Auto Delegation" in RBP.

Explanation:

Capacity control for a position is a feature in Employee Central that manages staffing levels against a predefined budgeted capacity, measured in Full-Time Equivalent (FTE).

A is correct:
When enabled, the system uses the position's Target FTE (e.g., 1.0 FTE) as the maximum capacity. It then compares this to the sum of the FTE values of all employees assigned to that position (e.g., two part-time incumbents at 0.5 FTE each totals 1.0 FTE). The control prevents overstaffing by blocking any hiring or assignment action that would cause the total incumbent FTE to exceed the Target FTE.

B & D are incorrect:
Standard Hours refer to the weekly working hours definition for a work schedule and are not used for capacity control. Capacity is purely an FTE-based calculation.

C is incorrect:
Capacity control is designed to prevent exceeding the budget (overstaffing), not to enforce a minimum staffing level (understaffing). A position can be underfilled (e.g., 0.0 FTE assigned against a 1.0 FTE target) without any system restriction.

Reference:
SAP Help Portal – "Position Management" documentation, specifically the sections on defining position capacity and configuring FTE controls. This is a standard concept in Position Org Model configuration covered in EC Core implementation training.

Explanation:

This question deals with configuring the Succession Data Model (SF) for use in Permission Groups for Role-Based Permissions (RBP). The dg-filters section is specifically used to define which fields can act as dynamic group filters within permission groups.

A is correct:
To make a field like cost-center available as a filter in a permission group, you must navigate to the node within the Succession Data Model XML and add the cost-center element. This explicitly declares it as a permissible filter criterion for dynamic population in RBP.

B is incorrect:
Adding dg-filter="true" to the hris-element for jobInfo would not enable the cost center field specifically as a filter. This method is not the standard way to activate individual field-level filters in the data model.

C is incorrect:
The custom-filters node is generally used for creating custom picklist-based filters, not for enabling standard foundation object fields like cost center for permission group filtering.

D is incorrect:
While the syntax hris-field id="cost-center" is part of the data model structure, the attribute filter="true" is used for enabling standard reporting filters in analytics/Report Center, not for permission group filters in RBP. These are distinct configurations.

Reference:
SAP SuccessFactors Implementation Guide – “Configuring the Employee Central Data Model for Permissions.” The specific steps for adding fields to dg-filters in the Succession Data Model (SF) are documented in the context of setting up dynamic permission groups. This is an advanced RBP configuration topic.

Explanation:

The jobinfo_FTE_Comp rule in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is used to trigger compensation recalculation when an employee’s Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) value changes. According to SAP best practices, this rule must run only when there is a real FTE change and must not execute during Hire or Rehire events, because compensation for those events is derived through separate hire or rehire logic.

Option D is the correct condition because it fully meets these requirements:
FTE Value ≠ Previous FTE Value
This condition ensures the rule is triggered only when an actual FTE change occurs. Running compensation logic without a change can cause incorrect salary updates and unnecessary processing.

Event Reason is NOT Hire
Event Reason is NOT Rehire Hire and Rehire events are excluded because compensation during these processes is typically controlled by hire rules, templates, or onboarding processes. Including them here could result in duplicate or conflicting pay calculations.

This combination makes the rule precise, efficient, and compliant with SAP Employee Central design principles, ensuring that compensation changes are handled correctly for existing employees only.

Why the other options are incorrect (brief)

Option A ❌
Uses FTE Value = Previous FTE Value, meaning there is no FTE change. A compensation rule should not trigger when nothing has changed.

Option B ❌
Although it checks for FTE changes, it uses value-based event reason logic inconsistently, which may cause the rule to trigger in unintended scenarios or skip valid ones.

Option C ❌
Uses Event (internal code) comparisons incorrectly and combines conditions that are logically conflicting, making the rule unreliable and not aligned with SAP best practices.

Explanation:

SAP SuccessFactors organizes data logically. While some data belongs to a "Person" and others to an "Employment," the People Profile (PP3) merges specific technical elements into a unified view:

personalInfo and globalInfo (D):
The personalInfo element contains standard demographic data (like name, gender, and marital status). The globalInfo element contains country-specific demographic data (like ethnic origin in the US or religion in Germany). In the People Profile, these are combined into the Personal Information block.

compInfo and payComponentRecurring (C):
The compInfo element (Compensation Information) stores high-level data like pay grade and pay group. The payComponentRecurring element stores the actual monthly/annual pay amounts. These are displayed together in the Compensation Information block.

Why Other Options Are Not Correct:

Option A (personInfo and globalInfo):
This is incorrect because personInfo (Biographical Information) is a non-effective dated entity that typically sits in its own block (Biographical Information), separate from the globalInfo which is paired with personalInfo.

Option B (jobInfo and organizationInfo):
While closely related, these actually behave in the opposite way. jobInfo is a single HRIS element in the data model, but in the People Profile, it is often split into two distinct blocks: Job Information and Organization Information.

References:
SAP Help Portal - Implementing Employee Central Core: Lists HRIS elements and identifies "child" elements that share UI blocks with their parent elements.

Explanation:

The visibility of data in a workflow request is controlled by the "Respect Permission" field on the Workflow configuration object. This setting is crucial for ensuring that sensitive data is only seen by authorized users during the approval process.

Logic of "Respect Permission":

If set to "Yes": The system checks the RBP of the person viewing the workflow. If a manager does not have permission to view a specific field (like "Nationality") in their RBP role, they will not see it in the workflow details.

If set to "No" (Default): The system bypasses the viewer's RBP. Any participant in the workflow (Approvers, Contributors, or those receiving CC notifications) can see all fields involved in that transaction, regardless of their standard profile permissions.

In this scenario, because the manager can see more fields than intended when checking the approved change, it indicates that the "Respect Permission" setting for the notification/step involving the manager was not enabled. Consequently, the manager is granted "full visibility" of the Personal Information record being processed.

Why Other Options Are Not Correct:

Option A (Transactions Pending Approval):
This permission allows a user to see the "Pending Requests" link on a profile, but it does not control field-level visibility within the workflow details page itself.

Option B (Visibility Rule):
While Business Rules can set field visibility to "View" or "Edit," they are typically used for UI behavior during data entry. Field visibility in the workflow UI specifically relies on the "Respect Permission" setting to bridge the gap between the transaction and RBP.

Option D (Approver Context):
The "Context" (Source vs. Target) determines which manager (the old one or the new one) should receive the request during a change of manager. It does not dictate which specific fields are visible to that manager.

References:
SAP Help Portal - Creating a Workflow: States that "Respect Permission" specifies the permission of participants to view the workflow's fields. If set to No, participants can view all fields.

Explanation

The synchronization between a Position and an Incumbent's Job Information is a critical automation feature. When using the "Import and Export Data" tool, the system requires precise configuration to maintain data consistency:

The technicalParameters Trigger (B):
By default, manual imports of Position records (MDF objects) do not trigger the synchronization to Job Information. To force the system to run the sync logic during an import, you must add a column named technicalParameters to your CSV file and enter the value SYNC for every row you want to update for the incumbent. If this column is missing or empty, the Position will update, but the employee's record will remain unchanged.

The Business Rule Logic (C):
Even if the sync is triggered, it relies on a specific Business Rule (usually assigned in Position Management Settings > Synchronization). If this rule is incorrectly configured—for example, by setting the Position's Department based on the Job Information's Department (the wrong direction)—the incumbent's data will not update correctly. The rule must follow the direction: Set Job Information.Department to be equal to Position.Department.

Why Other Options Are Not Correct:

Option A (Value in the record):
The technicalParameters field is a transient field used specifically for the import process. It is not a persistent value that you "set" inside the position record itself via the UI; it is an instruction passed during the data load.

Option D (Incorrect Syntax):
While this looks similar to the correct logic, the syntax Job Information.Department = Job Information.Position.Department is redundant. The sync rule specifically maps the Position Object's fields directly to the Job Information's fields. Option C highlights the common "backward" configuration error that consultants often face during implementation.

SAP Help Portal - Setting Up Position-to-Job Information Synchronization: Explains that for imports, the technicalParameters column with the value SYNC is mandatory to trigger follow-up processes.
