Which three settings on the Manage Enterprise HCM Information Task can be overwritten at the Manage Legal Entity HCM Information task?
Global Name Language
Employment Model
Person Number Generation
Work Day Information
Position Synchronization
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Manage Enterprise HCM Information task sets global defaults, some of which can be overridden at the legal entity level:
B: Employment Model (e.g., 2-tier, 3-tier) can be customized per legal entity to reflect local requirements.
D: Work Day Information (e.g., hours per day) can be adjusted for specific legal entities.
E: Position Synchronization settings can be overridden to control position data inheritance at the legal entity level.
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.
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.
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 schedule assignment.
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.
You are assigned to work with a customer who uses Checklists. This organization is an ever-changing organization and needs to be nimble with Checklist requirements. There are many instances where Journey Templates as well as Tasks may need to be updated even after a Journey has been assigned. How can you accommodate this?
You can now run the "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process to synchronize the changes. Using this process, the following is possible: The process synchronizes only journeys and tasks that are in progress and not in terminal status. It is optional to provide a checklist name if you provide the task name parameter. The checklist name and task name parameters you select display as IDs in the ESS Process
You can now run the "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process to synchronize the changes. Using this process, the following is possible: The process synchronizes only journeys and tasks that are in progress and not in terminal status. It is mandatory to provide a checklist name if you provide the task name parameter. The checklist name and task name parameters you select display as IDs in the ESS Proces
You can now run the "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process to synchronize the changes. Using this process, the following is possible: The process synchronizes only journeys and tasks that are in progress and not in terminal status. It is optional to provide a checklist name if you provide the task name parameter. The checklist name and task name parameters you select display as IDs in the ESS Process
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process in Oracle HCM Cloud allows updates to assigned journeys and tasks after modifications to the underlying template. The documentation specifies that this process synchronizes only in-progress journeys/tasks (not terminal statuses like Completed or Cancelled). Key parameters include Checklist Name and Task Name, where providing a Task Name makes Checklist Name optional—not mandatory—allowing flexibility in targeting specific tasks across checklists. Parameters are displayed as IDs in the ESS Process Details dialog box. Users can specify a comma-separated list of person numbers to limit updates to specific individuals; otherwise, all open allocations are updated.
Option A incorrectly mentions "list of person names" instead of person numbers, which is not supported. Option B wrongly states that Checklist Name is mandatory with Task Name, contradicting the documentation. Option C correctly aligns with Oracle’s description: optional Checklist Name with Task Name, comma-separated person numbers, and broad synchronization if unspecified, making it the accurate choice.
As an HR Specialist, it is your responsibility to hire employees and enter their base salary information. After you selected a grade and salary basis, and entered the base salary, you expected to see the compa-ratio information display—but it does not. What is the possible cause for the information NOT displaying?
The grade rate and the salary basis are tied to different legislative data groups.
The grade and the salary basis are tied to different legislative data groups.
The grade rate and the salary basis are tied to different frequencies.
The grade rate was not linked to the salary basis.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the compa-ratio (comparison ratio) measures an employee’s salary against the midpoint of a grade rate range. It’s displayed in the employment or salary details section when entering a base salary, provided all components are correctly aligned.
Option A: Incorrect. Grade rates and salary basis don’t need to share the same legislative data group (LDG) for compa-ratio calculation; LDGs partition data but don’t directly affect this display unless misconfigured at a higher level.
Option B: Incorrect. The grade itself isn’t tied to an LDG; it’s the grade rate that matters. This option misattributes the relationship.
Option C: Incorrect. While frequency (e.g., monthly vs. annual) must align for accurate salary calculations, compa-ratio is normalized and should still display if the grade rate and salary basis are linked, even with frequency differences (assuming conversion is handled).
Option D: Correct. The compa-ratio requires a grade rate (defining min, mid, max values) to be associated with the salary basis used in the employee’s record. If the grade rate isn’t linked to the salary basis (via "Manage Salary Basis" or "Manage Grade Rates"), the system lacks the reference range to compute and display the compa-ratio. This is a common setup oversight during implementation.
The correct answer isD, as detailed in "Using Global Human Resources" on salary management and grade rate integration.
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.
You are an HR specialist and want to add new values to a lookup. You have access to the specific work area, but are unable to perform the activity. Identify the correct statement about this.
You cannot add new lookup codes and meanings to the existing lookup types.
Oracle applications contain certain predefined system lookups that are locked for editing.
You can access the task for profile options from the Setup and Maintenance menu.
You can create new lookup types but cannot modify the existing ones.
The system administrator must enable the lookup before it is modified in the work area.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, lookups are managed via the "Manage Common Lookups" or "Manage Standard Lookups" tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. Lookupsprovide drop-down values (codes and meanings) for fields, and their editability depends on their type and configuration.
Option A: Incorrect. You can add new lookup codes and meanings to many existing lookup types, provided they are not system-locked or restricted by security.
Option B: Correct. Oracle includes predefined system lookups (e.g., seeded values for core fields like Action Types or Employment Status) that are locked for editing to maintain application integrity. If the lookup you’re trying to modify is one of these, you’ll be unable to add values, even with access to the work area, due to system restrictions.
Option C: Incorrect. Profile options are unrelated to lookups; they control application behavior, not value lists, and don’t explain the inability to edit.
Option D: Incorrect. You can modify existing lookup types (if not system-locked) and create new ones, depending on permissions and lookup status.
Option E: Incorrect. There’s no specific "enable" step by a system administrator for lookups; editability is determined by the lookup’s system status and user privileges.
The correct answer isB, as per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on lookup management, where system lookups are noted as non-editable.
As an HR specialist, you have been asked to create and assign a new schedule to employees that will be working a new shift. What steps should you follow to meet this requirement?
Create a shift, create a work pattern, create a work schedule, assign the schedule through work schedule assignment
Create a shift, create a work pattern, create a work schedule, assign the shift through the manage employment task
Create a work pattern, create a shift, create a work schedule, assign the schedule through workschedule assignment
Create a shift, create a work pattern, assign the work pattern through work schedule assignment
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
To create and assign a new schedule in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the "Managing Workforce Schedules" guide outlines the process:
Create a shift: Define the specific work hours (e.g., 9 AM-5 PM).
Create a work pattern: Combine shifts into a repeating sequence (e.g., 5 days on, 2 off).
Create a work schedule: Build a schedule using the pattern, specifying start/end dates.
