Identify three correct statements about Workforce Life Cycle. (Choose three.)
Line managers can create and manage work relationships, employment terms, and assignments for all workers.
HR specialists can create and manage work relationships, employment terms, and assignmentsfor the workers to whom they have security access.
HR specialists and line managers can create and manage work relationships, employment terms, and assignments for all the workers.
Line Managers can transfer their direct and indirect reports only.
The Add Person tasks include creating a new person's first work relationship with the enterprise.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Workforce Life Cycle in Oracle HCM Cloud covers hiring, managing, and terminating workers, with roles like HR specialists and line managers having specific capabilities based on security.
Option B ("HR specialists can create and manage work relationships, employment terms, and assignments for the workers to whom they have security access"): True. HR specialists’ abilities are governed by data security profiles, limiting them to authorized workers, per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option D ("Line Managers can transfer their direct and indirect reports only"): True. Line managers can initiate transfers for their reporting structure (direct and indirect reports), constrained by their security access, as noted in the "Using Global Human Resources" guide.
Option E ("The Add Person tasks include creating a new person's first work relationship with the enterprise"): True. The "Add Person" task (e.g., Hire an Employee) establishes the initial work relationship, per standard functionality.
Option A ("Line managers can create and manage work relationships, employment terms, and assignments for all workers"): False. Line managers are limited to their reports, not all workers.
Option C ("HR specialists and line managers can create and manage work relationships, employment terms, and assignments for all the workers"): False. Both roles are restricted by security, not granted universal access.
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 has to be approved by all HR Specialist Sales representatives for it to be approved
The transaction goes for approval to all the workers who inherit the HR Specialist Sales role
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 the Change Manager transaction are configured per the "Securing HCM" guide:
With "Enable Auto Claim" deselected, the transaction isn’t automatically assigned to one approver; it goes to all users with the HR Specialist Sales role (Option C).
When an HR specialist searches for Awards and Honors, such as "PhD," the Person Gallery page displays only the direct reports of the HR specialist who comply with the honor. When the HR specialist searches for areas of expertise, such as "Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud," it displays all the employees of the organization who have Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud as their areas of expertise. Identify the reason for this behavior.
HR does not have access to the "Experience and Qualification" card.
HR does not have access to other departments where employees are "PhD."
Areas of expertise is public information.
PhD is a sensitive keyword and is used elsewhere in the person’s information.
HR has access to Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud department.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud’s Person Gallery, search results depend on data visibility and security:Awards and Honors(e.g., "PhD") are restricted by the HR specialist’s area of responsibility (AOR), typically limited to direct reports unless broader access is granted.Areas of Expertise(e.g., "Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud") are designated as public information by default, visible to all users with Person Gallery access, regardless of AOR, unless explicitly restricted via security profiles.
Option A is incorrect—the "Experience and Qualification" card is accessible but scoped to AOR. Option B misattributes the issue to departments—visibility is AOR-based. Option D (sensitive keyword) lacks evidence. Option E (department access) is irrelevant. Option C correctly identifies areas of expertise as public, explaining the broader search results per Oracle’s security model.
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.

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
Primary work schedule, Employment work week, Published schedules, then Standard working hours
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the application follows a specific hierarchy when determining an employee's work schedule to apply to an assignment. This process ensures that the most relevant and specific schedule is selected based on the configuration of the employee's work time availability. The correct order of precedence for searching an employee's schedule is outlined in the official Oracle documentation.
According to the Oracle HCM Cloud documentation, the application searches for schedules in the following order:
Published schedules: These are schedules from other scheduling applications integrated with Oracle HCM Cloud or manually published schedules that take precedence.
Employment work week: This is configured on the employee's employment record and defines the standard work week applicable to the employee.
Primary work schedule: This is linked to specific workforce structure levels (e.g., enterprise, department, or individual assignment) and takes precedence based on the lowest level of assignment.
Standard working hours: These serve as the default fallback if no other schedules are defined.
The exact extract from the Oracle documentation states:
"You can set up an individual's work time in different ways. An person's official schedule for a selected time period is automatically determined using this information: ... This flow chart shows you the order that the application searches for someone's schedule, before applying it to the assignment. The published schedule is built using the employment work week, primary work schedule, or standard working hours for each person. It can also be built using published schedules from other scheduling applications."
This indicates that the application prioritizes published schedules first, followed by the employment work week, then the primary work schedule, and finally standard working hours as the last resort. The documentation further clarifies that schedules assigned at lower workforce structure levels (e.g., individual assignment) take precedence over those at higher levels (e.g., enterprise), but the overall search order remains as listed.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Option A (Standard working hours, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, then Published schedules): This is incorrect because standard working hours are the last fallback, not the first, and published schedules have higher precedence than all others.
Option B (Employment work week, Published schedules, Primary work schedule, then Standard working hours): This is incorrect because published schedules are checked before the employment work week, not after.
Option D (Primary work schedule, Employment work week, Published schedules, then Standard working hours): This is incorrect because primary work schedules are not the first to be checked; published schedules take precedence, and employment work week comes before primary work schedule.
During implementation, a two-tier employment model with multiple assignments has been set up. Now the client wants to store contract information. Which statement is true about changing the employment model setting after implementation?
The client can change from any two-tier option to another at any point in time, irrespective of the existence of work relationships.
The client cannot move from a two-tier multiple assignment to a two-tier single contract and single assignment after implementation.
The client can have both: a two-tier multiple assignment employment model can remain for its existing employees, and a two-tier multiple contracts single assignment can be created to hire new employees within the same legal employer.
If employees exist within the enterprise and legal employer, the person model setting cannot be changed as there are no contract options that support a contract with multiple assignments.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud supports two-tier employment models: single assignment (SA) or multiple assignments (MA), with or without contracts (SC or MC). The employment model is set at the enterprise or legal employer level via "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" or "Manage Legal Entity HCM Information." Changing this model post-implementation is possible under certain conditions.
Option A: Correct. Oracle allows flexibility to change the employment model (e.g., from two-tier MA to two-tier MC SA) at any time, even with existing work relationships, as long as data migration and configuration adjustments (e.g., contract setup) are handled. The system does not lock the model once set.
Option B: Incorrect. The client can transition from two-tier MA to two-tier SC SA post-implementation, though it requires updating existing records and ensuring compliance with new contract rules.
Option C: Incorrect. Within the same legal employer, only one employment model can be active at a time. Mixing MA for existing employees and MC SA for new hires in the same legal employer is not supported without separate legal employers or a model change.
Option D: Incorrect. Contracts can coexist with multiple assignments if configured as multiple contracts (MC), so the model can be changed even with existing employees, contradicting this statement.
The correct answer isA, as per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on employment model flexibility.

To create a legal address for a legal entity in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, you need to use theManage Legal Addressestask within the Setup and Maintenance work area. The task involves entering the provided address details (900 Main St, Dearborn Heights, Wayne, Michigan 48127) and ensuring the address is validated and associated with the legal entity. Below is a step-by-step solution, including detailed explanations and references to Oracle documentation, to accomplish this task.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications
Action: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications with a user account that has the necessary privileges, such as theHCM Application AdministratororSetup Userrole. These roles typically include permissions to access the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Explanation: The Setup and Maintenance work area is where configuration tasks, including managing legal addresses, are performed. Proper access ensures you can navigate to the required tasks without restrictions.
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.
Geography framework in HCM Cloud is used for the following purpose:
To display the geographies of a given country accessible through a lookup value versus entering each geography in a free form field
To determine the address fields that display on a page when entering an address
To define all work locations for your organization
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Geography framework in Oracle HCM Cloud is designed to standardize and streamline the management of geographical data. Its primary purpose is to provide a structured, validated list of geographies (e.g., countries, states, cities) accessible via lookup values, rather than allowing free-form text entry, which reduces errors and ensures consistency. Option B (determining address fields) relates to address styles, not the geography framework itself. Option C (defining work locations) is a downstream use of geographies but not the framework’s primary purpose. According to the Oracle HCM Cloud "Geographies Setup" documentation, the framework’s key role is to enable lookup-based geography selection, makingAthe correct answer.
An HR representative enters employee details in the application as part of the hiring process. On the Review page, the HR representative notices that Person Number does not show any number, but indicates "Generated Automatically." Identify the option that relates to this intended behavior.
Person Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Automatic before submission.
Worker Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Manual.
Person Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Automatic after final save.
Person Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Manual.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Person Number generation method is configured via "Manage Enterprise HCM Information." Options include Manual, Automatic before submission, or Automatic after final save. The behavior described—showing "Generated Automatically" with no number on the Review page—indicates the number is assigned post-submission.
Option A: "Automatic before submission" generates the person number immediately upon initiating the hire process, visible before review. This doesn’t match the scenario.
Option B: "Worker Number" is distinct from Person Number and irrelevant here. Manual setting would require user input, not "Generated Automatically."
Option C: Correct. "Automatic after final save" delays person number generation until the transaction is fully submitted and saved, explaining why it’s not visible on the Review page but marked as automatic.
Option D: Manual requires the user to enter a number, contradicting the "Generated Automatically" indication.
The correct answer isC, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Person Number setup.
