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 employee transfers between organizational units after a recent corporate data maintenance cycle. In the web-based UI, the transfer action opens normally, but for one set of regions the target department list is incomplete even though the departments exist in the system. Users can complete transfers in other regions without issue.
HR administrators confirm that the missing departments were introduced during the latest corporate structure update and should be available only within specific organizational combinations. The customer wants the consultant to restore accurate selection behavior without weakening organizational controls or exposing departments outside their intended scope.
What is the best next step?
Response:

A) Ask HR administrators to complete transfers using a temporary generic department and correct the final department later by direct edit.
B) Grant all transfer users broader visibility to all departments so the missing entries appear immediately during the move process.
C) Review the corporate data relationships and effective configuration for the new departments, then correct the organizational associations that govern their availability in transfers.
D) Export the department records, create duplicate department entries for the affected regions, and use those duplicates in transfer processing.

2. <strong>CHALLENGE 1 &#x2014; Engineering Department References for Transfer Records</strong> Production transfers and engineering-center transfers use the same employee update process, yet only some engineering-center records show incorrect plant context after review. Corporate HR wants to avoid broad reprocessing unless the cause is repeatable.
What should the consultant determine first?
Response:

A) Whether all workflow notifications for engineering transfers use the same message template.
B) Whether corporate HR analysts can manually override plant association during the weekly planning cycle.
C) Whether plant managers can approve engineering transfers without reviewing employee position context.
D) Whether affected records reference plant or engineering department values adjusted during final cutover preparation.

3. In a public cloud SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central tenant, a consultant is validating a new-country global transfer process in the web-based UI before a controlled pilot. Managers can start the transfer action and enter the initial data, but when they reach employment information, one required field appears with the correct label yet resets to its prior value after each save for only the newly enabled country. Other countries retain the edited value correctly.
The customer confirms that the field must remain editable in the standard process because downstream approval routing depends on the final stored value. They do not want a separate country-specific transfer design or a manual follow-up correction step. The issue began after recent country-specific setup changes were introduced into the tenant.
What should the consultant investigate first?
Response:

A) Grant managers broader maintenance permissions so the edited value is stored as a direct data update during the transfer action.
B) Ask managers to complete the transfer and let HR operations correct the field afterward for employees in the new country.
C) Review the country-specific transfer configuration controlling field persistence, then correct the setup dependency causing the value to revert after save.
D) Reload sample employee records from the new country so the transfer action can rebuild the field behavior automatically.

4. <strong>CHALLENGE 1 &#x2014; Service Line References for Underwriting Records</strong> The operations sponsor asks whether SIT can continue if only the affected underwriting records are corrected. HR operations has limited time before policy renewal staffing scenarios are added.
Which evidence best supports continuing with bounded scope?
Response:

A) The workflow notification log shows that position-change messages were generated for the affected employees.
B) The affected records are linked to specific revised reference values, and unaffected claims records still validate against the intended regional pattern.
C) HR operations can manually update the reviewed association for all records before the staffing scenarios begin.
D) Regional managers can see all underwriting records after temporary access is granted for the SIT window.

5. In a public cloud SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central tenant, a consultant is validating a manager-driven temporary schedule adjustment process in the web-based UI before a regional pilot. The transaction opens, saves, and completes workflow correctly for all tested employees, but for one newly enabled employee category the expected post-save update to the employee&#x2019;s work schedule class does not occur. The same action updates the schedule class correctly for established categories.
HR operations wants to keep a single standardized adjustment process across the tenant and does not want to correct the schedule class manually after each approved request. The issue began after the new category was introduced during the latest configuration cycle. The consultant must correct the behavior without creating category-specific process variants.
What should the consultant investigate first?
Response:

A) Ask HR operations to update the work schedule class manually for the new category until the pilot period is complete.
B) Reclassify affected employees temporarily into an older category so the existing adjustment behavior can be reused without further changes.
C) Give managers direct edit access to the work schedule class so they can complete the missing update during the same transaction.
D) Review the post-save derivation or transaction configuration for the new category, then correct the dependency controlling the work schedule class update.
