Select the correct order in which scheduled tasks must be configured within Define Availability in FSM.
Shifts, Schedules, Patterns, Calendar Events
Patterns, Calendar Events, Shifts, Schedules
Calendar Events, Shifts, Patterns, Schedules
Schedules, Patterns, Shifts, Calendar Events
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The "Define Availability" task in the Functional Setup Manager (FSM) is part of Workforce Management setup in Oracle HCM Cloud. It involves configuring components that determine worker availability, and these must be set up in a logical order due to their interdependencies. Let’s break this down step-by-step:
Patterns: A Pattern defines a repeating sequence of work (e.g., 5 days on, 2 days off). It’s the foundational building block because it establishes the basic structure of availability before specific days or exceptions are applied. You configure Patterns first to define the recurring rhythm of work.
Calendar Events: These define specific dates or exceptions (e.g., holidays like Christmas or company-specific closures). Calendar Events come next because they overlay exceptions onto the Pattern, adjusting availability for specific instances. For example, a Pattern might assume work every Monday, but a Calendar Event can mark a Monday holiday as non-working.
Shifts: A Shift specifies the daily time frame of work (e.g., 9 AM-5 PM). Shifts are configured after Patterns and Calendar Events because they apply time details to the days defined by the Pattern, adjusted by Calendar Events. For instance, a Shift defines the hours worked on a day marked as "available" by the Pattern and not overridden by a Calendar Event.
Schedules: Finally, Schedules tie everything together by combining Patterns, Calendar Events, and Shifts into a complete availability plan assigned to workers or groups. Schedules are the last step because they depend on the prior components being defined.
The Oracle documentation outlines this sequence—Patterns, Calendar Events, Shifts, Schedules—as the recommended order to ensure each component builds on the previous one without gaps or errors. OptionBmatches this sequence precisely, making it the correct answer. Other options (e.g., A starts with Shifts, which lacks a Pattern foundation) violate these dependencies.
You want to track changes to certain Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud records, for example, changes to employment and assignment records. You want to create your own actions and associate them with predefined action types. Which two statements are true about actions? (Choose two.)
Only one action can be associated with an action type
Actions can be accessed via Smart Navigator, and available actions are based on the security access
An action must always have an action reason associated
User-defined actions can be created and linked to predefined action types
Per the "Managing Workforce Records" guide:
Option A: False. Multiple Actions can be linked to a single Action Type (e.g., multiple promotion Actions under the Promotion Action Type).
Option B: True. Actions are accessible via Smart Navigator, and visibility depends on the user’s security access (e.g., role-based permissions).
Option C: False. An Action Reason is optional, not mandatory, depending on configuration.
You have a business requirement to default the Business Title of a worker when a user updates a worker's assignment by using one of the worker employment responsive flows. How can you enable this feature and which options are available for defaulting?
Enable the Default Business Title field on the Legal Entity HCM Information task, and select Retain User Changes, Automatically Update Based on Position Change, or Allow Override if Position Data is Overridden.
Enable the Default Business Title field on the Enterprise HCM Information task, and select Retain User Changes, Automatically Update Based on Job Change, or Automatically Update Based on Position Change.
Enable the ORA_PER_EMPL_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_TITLE_FROM profile option, and select Retain User Changes, Automatically Update Based on Job Change, Automatically Update Based on Position Change, or Allow Override if Position Data is Overridden.
Enable the ORA_PER_EMPL_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_TITLE_FROM profile option, and select Retain User Changes, Automatically Update Based on Job Change, or Automatically Update Based on Position Change.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Defaulting the Business Title in Oracle HCM Cloud during assignment updates is controlled by a profile option, not HCM Information tasks.
Option D ("Enable the ORA_PER_EMPL_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_TITLE_FROM profile option, and select Retain User Changes, Automatically Update Based on Job Change, or Automatically Update Based on Position Change") is correct. The profile option "ORA_PER_EMPL_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_TITLE_FROM" determines how the Business Title is populated in responsive flows (e.g., Change Assignment). Available settings are:
Retain User Changes: Keeps manual edits.
Automatically Update Based on Job Change: Updates from the job title.
Automatically Update Based on Position Change: Updates from the position title. This is detailed in the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide under profile options.
Option A and B reference HCM Information tasks, which don’t control this feature.
Option C adds "Allow Override if Position Data is Overridden," which is not a valid setting for this profile option.
What are four benefits of Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC)?
Cannot roll back an enterprise that is created through ESC
Can create multiple configurations to test multiple scenarios
Can roll back an enterprise configuration after loading it
Can review the enterprise configuration before loading it
Can create all organizational structures at once
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC) offers several benefits:
B: Allows creation of multiple configurations for testing different scenarios, enhancing flexibility.
C: Supports rollback of configurations post-loading if adjustments are needed, ensuring reversibility.
D: Enables review of the configuration before final loading, reducing errors.
E: Facilitates simultaneous creation of all organizational structures, streamlining setup.
A Human Resource Representative is in the process of transferring an employee from France Subsidiary to US Subsidiary and exercises the option of Global Transfer. Identify the three options for the Global Transfer process. (Choose three.)
A new work relationship in the destination legal employer is not created automatically.
The Human Resources Representative cannot override the default changes.
The Human Resources Representative can override the default by deselecting the assignments that are not required to be terminated; these assignments retain their original status and the work relationship is not terminated.
The existing set of employment terms and assignments in the source work relationship are terminated and their status is set to Inactive - Payroll Eligible by default.
A new work relationship in the destination legal employer is created automatically.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Global Transfer feature in Oracle HCM Cloud facilitates moving an employee between legal employers within the same enterprise, such as from France Subsidiary to US Subsidiary.
Option C ("The Human Resources Representative can override the default by deselecting the assignments that are not required to be terminated; these assignments retain their original status and the work relationship is not terminated"): True. During a Global Transfer, the HR representative can choose which assignments to terminate or retain, overriding defaults, as explained in the "Using Global Human Resources" guide.
Option D ("The existing set of employment terms and assignments in the source work relationship are terminated and their status is set to Inactive - Payroll Eligible by default"): True. By default, the source work relationship’s assignments are terminated and marked Inactive - Payroll Eligible, preserving payroll history, per standard Oracle behavior.
Option E ("A new work relationship in the destination legal employer is created automatically"): True. A Global Transfer automatically creates a new work relationship in the destination legal employer, effective from the transfer date.
Option A ("A new work relationship in the destination legal employer is not created automatically"): False. This contradicts the automated nature of Global Transfer.
Option B ("The Human Resources Representative cannot override the default changes"): False. Overrides are allowed, as noted in Option C.
Your customer has decided to use Position Management for at least a portion of their workforce due to the Position Synchronization functionality, which will be beneficial in managing their workforce.
Which are three advantages of using Position Synchronization?
The customer can configure which assignment attributes to synchronize from the position.
For synchronized attributes, any position update will automatically be pushed to the incumbents' assignments.
Synchronized attributes will be displayed as read-only in the assignment to ensure the position as the only source of truth.
If you use Position Synchronization, Manager Self Service cannot be used.
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 like Manage Enterprise HCM Information or Manage 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. The Synchronize Person Assignments from Position process 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 of Manager Self Service when 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 in A, B, and C directly align with the benefits of Position Synchronization: configurability (choosing attributes), automation (automatic updates), and data 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. Option D is a false statement, as Position Synchronization does not restrict Manager Self Service.

People update a performance rating for a competency on a worker's profile. What is used to provide a unique identifier for each instance of the competency so that you can determine who provided what rating?
Content library
Educational establishment
Rating model
Content subscriber
Instance qualifier
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, competencies on a worker’s profile can be rated by multiple sources (e.g., manager, peer), and tracking the source requires a unique identifier.
Option E ("Instance qualifier") is correct. The instance qualifier uniquely identifies each rating instance for a competency, linking it to the rater and context (e.g., performance review). This is part of the competency framework in the "Implementing Talent Management Base" guide, ensuring auditability of who provided what rating.
Option A ("Content library") stores competency definitions, not rating instances.
Option B ("Educational establishment") is unrelated to ratings.
Option C ("Rating model") defines the scale, not the instance.
Option D ("Content subscriber") relates to content sharing, not ratings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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).
What work area within HCM Cloud provides implementers with end-to-end access to all configuration objects needed to successfully implement HCM Cloud: Core HR?
Person Management work area
Enterprise Structures work area
Workforce Structures work area
Setup and Maintenance work area
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
TheSetup and Maintenance work area(FSM) in Oracle HCM Cloud is the central hub for implementers, providing comprehensive access to all configuration tasks required for implementing Core HR. This includes defining enterprise structures, workforce structures, geographies, and other foundational elements. While the Person Management (A), Enterprise Structures (B), and Workforce Structures (C) work areas support specific functions, they are operational or subset areas, not the end-to-end configuration hub. The Oracle "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide confirms that FSM is the primary work area for Core HR setup, makingDthe correct answer.
A 'Business Visa Introduction Letter' is an example of a document that may be required on a regular basis for certain people who travel and work internationally. To speed up the process of obtaining the letter, the system can store a copy, which the user downloads whenever it is required. Where are the document templates configured, before they are associated with the appropriate Document Type?
BI Publisher (BIP)
Page Composer
Design Studio
Oracle Transnational Business Intelligence (OTBI)
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, document templates, such as a "Business Visa Introduction Letter," are created and managed in BI Publisher (BIP). The "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide under "Document Management" explains that BIP is used to design and store report templates, including reusable documents tied to Document Types. These templates are then associated with a Document Type (e.g., "Visa Letter") for user access and download. Option B (Page Composer) is for UI customization, not document templates. Option C (Design Studio) configures transactions, not documents. Option D (OTBI) is for analytics, not template creation. Thus, Option A is correct.
Challenge 4
Manage Business Unit
Scenario
An additional business unit is required for the newly acquired company to reflect the business rules and policies that must be enforced within the organization.
Task
Create a Business Unit for the technician group, where:
The Code is X Tech Business Unit
The Default set is COMMON
See the solution in Explanation below.
This task requires creating a business unit in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud for the technician group of a newly acquired company. The business unit must have a Code of X Tech Business Unit and a Default Set of COMMON. 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 as Application Implementation Consultant or HCM Application Administrator. These roles grant access to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Explanation: The Setup and Maintenance work area is the central hub for configuration tasks, including managing business units. The user must have permissions to access the Workforce Structures functional area and the Manage Business Unit task. Roles like Application Implementation Consultant include the necessary privileges (e.g., Manage Business Unit duty role).
Verification: Oracle documentation confirms that setup tasks require specific security roles, and the Manage Business Unit task is restricted to authorized users.
An employee's job description is "Recruiter" as of 01-Jan-2023. This job was updated in the system to "Consultant" on 01-Feb-2023. The 01-Feb-2023 assignment record is the latest effective-dated employment record in the system. On 01-Mar-2023, an HR specialist wants to view this employee’s previous employment details and searches for them using Global Search. The HR specialist enters the search keyword "Recruiter" along with the effective date value of 31-Jan-2023 because the employee was working as a recruiter on 31-Jan-2023. The search returns no rows. What is the reason?
The Person Management page search does not support Job attribute keywords.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has failed on 01-Mar-2023 but ran successfully the previous day.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has associated the effective dates with the job attributes in the keyword record resulting in search discrepancies.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has failed on 31-Jan-2023 but ran successfully the next day.
The Person Management page search does not support date-effective keywords.
The Update Person Search Keyword process has updated the latest effective-dated job attribute in the keyword record.
The Global Search in Oracle HCM Cloud relies on the "Update Person Search Keyword" process, which maintains a keyword index for person records. This process updates the index with the latest effective-dated attributes (e.g., job) as of the process run date, not historical data tied to specific effective dates. In this case, the employee’s job changed from "Recruiter" (effective 01-Jan-2023) to "Consultant" (effective 01-Feb-2023). By 01-Mar-2023, when the HR specialist searches, the keyword index reflects the latest job ("Consultant") because the process overwrites prior values with the most recent effective-dated record. Thus, searching for "Recruiter" with an effective date of 31-Jan-2023 fails because the historical job isn’t preserved in the index—only "Consultant" is searchable.
Option A is incorrect because Job attributes are supported in searches. Options B and D (process failures) lack evidence and don’t explain the behavior. Option C is misleading—effective dates aren’t associated in the index; they’re overwritten. Option E is wrong because date-effective searches are supported, but the index limits results to current data. Option F correctly identifies that the latest job ("Consultant") replaced "Recruiter" in the keyword record.
A Human Resource Specialist is hiring a new employee in the application. While creating the employee record, he enters personal information and employment details and, when submitting the transaction, encounters an error. Part of the error message reads: "NewPersonEmploymentApproval to NewPersonEmploymentApproval Rules NewPersonRuleSet failed with Business Fault: null. Check the underlying fault. Check target SOA component for cause." The Human Resource Specialist raises a service request with the internal support team. What is the cause of this error?
A security profile needs to be defined for the Human Resource Specialist to hire a person.
The BPM task NewPersonEmploymentApproval is not set up properly.
The Human Resource Specialist does not have the required privilege for the New Person Employment process.
The Update Person Keyword Search process must be run before hiring a person.
The error message indicates a failure in the approval process during the "New Person Employment" transaction, pointing to an issue with the BPM (Business Process Management) workflow rather than security or pre-process requirements.
Option A: Security profiles control data visibility, not approval process execution. Thiswouldn’t cause a BPM fault.
Option B: Correct. The error references "NewPersonEmploymentApproval," a BPM task. A "Business Fault: null" suggests a misconfiguration in the approval ruleset (e.g., missing approver, invalid rule) within BPM Worklist, preventing the transaction from completing.
Option C: Lack of privilege would typically block access to the hire action entirely, not trigger a mid-process BPM fault.
Option D: The "Update Person Keyword Search" process enhances search functionality but is unrelated to hiring approvals.
The correct answer isB, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Approval Configuration.
What type of people within our system are assigned Person IDs?
Employees, Contingent Workers, Non-Workers
Employees, Contingent Workers, Non-Workers, Pending Workers, Worker Contacts
Employees, Contingent Workers, Non-Workers, Pending Workers
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, aPerson IDis a unique identifier assigned to individuals within the system who have a person record. The types of people assigned Person IDs include:
Employees: Full-time or part-time workers with an employment relationship.
Contingent Workers: Temporary or contract workers.
Non-Workers: Individuals like retirees or external contacts with a person record but no active work relationship.
Pending Workers: Individuals hired but not yet started (e.g., future-dated hires).
Worker Contacts: Emergency contacts or dependents linked to a worker’s record, who also receive a Person ID for tracking purposes.
Option A omits Pending Workers and Worker Contacts, which are included in the system’s person model. Option C misses Worker Contacts, who are explicitly assigned Person IDs to manage relationships. Option B is the most comprehensive, aligning with Oracle’s definition of person records in the "Person Management" guide, makingBthe correct answer.
The HR of the Finance Department searches for an employee who is the Finance Auditor. The search is conducted with an effective date of January 1, 2015, on the Person Management page. The search does not yield any results. Identify two reasons for this behavior.
The employee is working as an employee in the Finance Department.
The employee is inactive as of January 1, 2015.
The employee was a contingent worker until December 31, 2014, and will rejoin as an employee on January 2, 2015.
The employee is working as a contingent worker in the Finance Department.
The employee has multiple assignments, and being a Finance Auditor is a part of the secondary assignment.
The Person Management page in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud allows searching for workers with an effective date filter. No results on January 1, 2015, suggest the employee’s record is not active or visible on that date.
Option A: Working in the Finance Department as an employee should make them searchable unless other factors (e.g., inactivity) apply; this alone doesn’t explain the issue.
Option B: Correct. If the employee is inactive (e.g., terminated) as of January 1, 2015, their record won’t appear in active searches unless explicitly including inactive records.
Option C: Correct. If the employee was a contingent worker until December 31, 2014, and transitions to an employee on January 2, 2015, no active employee record exists on January 1, 2015, explaining the no-results outcome.
Option D: A contingent worker on January 1, 2015, should still appear unless the search excludes contingent workers, which isn’t specified.
Option E: Multiple assignments don’t hide a worker; the primary or any active assignment (e.g., Finance Auditor) should be searchable.
The correct answers areBandC, per "Using Global Human Resources" on person search behavior.
Which three options define Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC)? (Choose three.)
After defining the enterprise structure and the job/position structures, the administrator can review them, make any necessary changes, and then load/rollback the final configuration
The tool creates a structure of divisions that may then be manipulated by the administrator
The tool creates a structure of divisions, legal entities, business units, and departments
The tool creates a structure of divisions, legal entities, business units, and reference data sets
It is an interview-based tool that guides through the process of setting up a basic enterprise structure
The Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC) in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud is detailed in the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide:
Option A: True. ESC allows review, modification, and load/rollback of the enterprise and job/position structures.
Option B: False. ESC doesn’t limit to divisions; it includes broader structures.
Option C: False. Departments are not a primary output; reference data sets are included instead.
Option D: True. ESC creates divisions, legal entities, business units, and reference data sets.
When working on the Manage Geographies page, in what order do you need to access the areas that are available if you are manually configuring your geographies?
Validation Defined, Hierarchy Defined, Structure Defined
Hierarchy Defined, Structure Defined, Validation Defined
Validation Defined, Address Cleansing Defined, Hierarchy Defined, Structure Defined
Structure Defined, Hierarchy Defined, Validation Defined
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
When manually configuring geographies in Oracle HCM Cloud using the Manage Geographies page, the correct sequence is critical to ensure the geography framework is set up properly. The process begins with defining theStructureof the geography (e.g., country, state, city levels), followed by defining theHierarchy(how these levels relate to one another), and finally setting upValidation(rules to ensure data integrity and usability). This sequence ensures that the foundational structure is in place before relationships are established and validated. According to the Oracle HCM Cloud documentation, specifically the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide, the recommended order is:
Structure Defined: Define the levels of geography (e.g., country, province, city).
Hierarchy Defined: Establish parent-child relationships between geography levels.
A human resource specialist is promoting an employee. While promoting an employee, the human resource specialist is required to enter the promotion date, promotion action, and promotion reason. However, the promotion reason list of values does not list an appropriate reason. Which two options can help the human resource specialist understand the Action framework available in the application? (Choose two.)
Action Reasons are seeded and can be defined by a user
Action Types are seeded and cannot be defined by a user
Actions are seeded and cannot be defined by a user
Action Reasons are seeded and cannot be defined by a user
The Action framework in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud governs transactions like promotions. The "Managing Workforce Records" guide explains:
Action Reasons: Some are seeded (predefined by Oracle), but users can define additional custom Action Reasons to meet specific business needs (e.g., a new promotion reason like "Merit-Based"). This makes Option A correct.
Action Types: These are seeded (e.g., Promotion, Transfer) and cannot be user-defined, as they are core to the system’s structure, making Option B correct.
Actions: While seeded Actions exist, users can create custom Actions and link them to Action Types, so Option C is incorrect.
Event Alerts supported by Alerts Composer, are based on the filters delivered by Oracle. Alerts Composer is a tool that allows you to send informational notifications to Oracle HCM Cloud users by email and worklist.
Which statement is true about Event Alerts being triggered?
Event Alerts are triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You cannot modify the triggering criteria for notifications.
Event Alerts are triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You can modify the frequency in which the alert is triggered by using the Run Options tab within the alert.
Event Alerts are triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You can modify the triggering criteria for notifications by modifying the Groovy script within the specific alert.
The Alerts Composer in Oracle HCM Cloud is a tool for configuring informational notifications sent via email or worklist, based on predefined events. Event Alerts are triggered by specific application events, such as a new hire or promotion. The question asks about the behavior of these alerts, particularly regarding the modification of triggering criteria.
Option A: Event Alerts are triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You cannot modify the triggering criteria for notifications.This is the correct answer. Event Alerts in Alerts Composer are based on filters delivered by Oracle, tied to specific events (e.g., employee termination, assignment change). Oracle documentation states that the triggering criteria for these alerts are predefined and cannot be modified by users, as they are linked to system events controlled by Oracle’s seeded configurations. Users can customize notification content (e.g., message text) or recipients, but the event conditions themselves are fixed to ensure system stability and consistency.
Option B: Event Alerts are triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You can modify the frequency in which the alert is triggered by using the Run Options tab within the alert.This option is incorrect. Alerts Composer does not provide a Run Options tab for Event Alerts, nor does it allow modification of the frequency of event-based triggers. Event Alerts are triggered immediately when the associated event occurs (e.g., a new hire record is saved). While Scheduled Alerts allow frequency settings (e.g., daily or weekly runs), Event Alerts are event-driven, and their triggering is not controlled by a frequency setting, making this option invalid.
Option C: Event Alerts are triggered when a specific event occurs in the application. You can modify the triggering criteria for notifications by modifying the Groovy script within the specific alert.This option is incorrect. Event Alerts in Alerts Composer do not allow modification of triggering criteria via Groovy scripts. Oracle restricts customization of event triggers to maintain system integrity, and Groovy scripts are used in other contexts (e.g., for validations or calculations), not for altering Event Alert conditions. Documentation confirms that triggering criteria are Oracle-delivered and non-editable.
Why this answer?The fixed nature of Event Alert triggers ensures standardized behavior across HCM Cloud implementations. Users can configure aspects like notification templates or recipients, but the core event conditions (e.g., “trigger when an employee is hired”) are locked, aligning with Oracle’s design and making A the correct statement.

Which employment actions can a Line Manager perform through the Smart Navigation icon within the Global Search, the Directory Search, My Team, or while viewing the Person EmploymentInformation page of the Person Spotlight Page of their direct reports?
Promote, Transfer, Terminate, Location Change, Create Work Relationship, and Add Assignment
Promote, Transfer, Terminate, Location Change, Manager Change, and Suspend Assignment
Promote, Transfer, Terminate, Location Change, Manager Change, and Add Global Assignment
Promote, Suspend, Terminate, Location Change, Manager Change, and Add Additional Assignment
Line Managers in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud can perform employment actions on their direct reports via interfaces like Smart Navigation, Directory, My Team, or Person Spotlight, provided they have appropriate security privileges (e.g., via the Line Manager role). The available actions depend on seeded functionality and configuration.
Option A: Correct. Line Managers can:
Promote (change grade/job), Transfer (move between assignments), Terminate (end employment), Location Change (update work location), Create Work Relationship (add new employment), and Add Assignment (add additional assignments). These align with standard manager capabilities.
Option B: "Suspend Assignment" is not a typical action available via these interfaces; it’s more a system status than a manager-initiated action. Manager Change is possible but less common in this context.
Option C: "Add Global Assignment" is a specific action for global deployments, not a standard Line Manager action in these interfaces.
Option D: "Suspend" is not a direct action, and "Add Additional Assignment" is valid but less comprehensive than "Add Assignment" in A.
The correct answer isA, reflecting standard Line Manager actions in "Using Global Human Resources."
Which new feature has been added to Redwood Document Records pages to enhance user experience?
Capability to preview attachments directly on the page
Option to export document records to a CSV file
A function to add custom fields to document records
The Redwood Document Records pages in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud have been enhanced to improve usability and efficiency. A significant new feature introduced in the 24C release is the ability to preview attachments directly on the page without needing to download them to a local folder. This applies to both reference info attachments and document record attachments, allowing users to quickly view content, such as PDFs or images, by clicking a Preview icon in the Reference Info section of the New Document Record page. This feature reduces navigation steps and enhances the user experience by providing immediate access to attachment content.
Option A: Capability to preview attachments directly on the pageThis is the correct answer. Oracle’s 24C release notes explicitly state that users can now preview attachments on the Redwood Document Records pages, eliminating the need to download files. This feature is available for both reference info and document record attachments and is accessible via the Preview icon, streamlining document management tasks. Oracle documentation confirms this as a user experience enhancement unique to the Redwood interface.
Option B: Option to export document records to a CSV fileWhile Redwood Document Records pages allow downloading search results to an Excel spreadsheet, Oracle documentation does not specifically mention exporting document records to a CSV file as a new feature. The ability to download data to Excel is noted in the context of search results (e.g., on the Document Records landing page), but CSV export is not highlighted as a distinct enhancement in the 24C or 25A release notes. Since the question asks for a new feature, this option is less accurate compared to the preview capability.
Option C: A function to add custom fields to document recordsAdding custom fields to document records is not listed as a new feature for the Redwood Document Records pages in recent Oracle releases. While Oracle supports flexfields (e.g., descriptive or extensible flexfields) for customization, this is a pre-existing capability and not a new enhancement specific to the Redwood Document Records pages in 24C or 25A. The documentation focuses on features like attachment previews and rich text editors, making this option incorrect.

Your customer wants to reorder the cards on the Person Gallery page in reverse alphabetical order. What should you do to reorder the cards?
Enable "Allow Reorder" in Portrait Settings for all the portrait cards.
Change the order of the cards by using Portrait Settings.
Change the default card to "User Account Details" in Portrait Settings.
Drag and slide the portrait cards across the pane in any order. Use Personalization to edit and reorder the portrait cards.
Enable "Allow User Control" in Portrait Settings for all the portrait cards.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Person Gallery page displays various cards (e.g., Employment, Personal Information, etc.) that provide quick access to worker details. To reorder these cards, including arranging them in reverse alphabetical order, the system does not provide a direct configuration option within Portrait Settings to automatically sort cards alphabetically or reverse alphabetically. Instead, reordering is achieved through personalization, which allows administrators or users with appropriate permissions to manually adjust the layout of the Person Gallery page.
Option D ("Drag and slide the portrait cards across the pane in any order. Use Personalization to edit and reorder the portrait cards") is correct because Oracle HCM Cloud supports personalization of the user interface via tools like Page Composer. In Page Composer, an administrator can access the Person Gallery page, enter personalization mode, and drag and drop the cards into the desired order, such as reverse alphabetical. This change can then be saved and applied globally or for specific roles, depending on the personalization scope. The Oracle documentation, specifically "Oracle Applications Cloud: Configuring and Extending Applications," details how Page Composer enables such UI modifications.
Option A ("Enable 'Allow Reorder' in Portrait Settings") is incorrect because there is no "Allow Reorder" setting in Portrait Settings that directly controls card ordering on the Person Gallery. Portrait Settings typically manage visibility and default card selection, not manual reordering.
Option B ("Change the order of the cards by using Portrait Settings") is misleading. While Portrait Settings allow some configuration (e.g., setting the default card), they do not provide a mechanism to reorder all cards manually or systematically in reverse alphabetical order.
Option C ("Change the default card to 'User Account Details' in Portrait Settings") only affects which card appears first by default and does not address reordering the full set of cards.
Option E ("Enable 'Allow User Control' in Portrait Settings") relates to giving users control over certain card settings, but it does not enable reordering of cards on the gallery page.
As an employee of an organization, you can access your Public Information/Spotlight page within the Directory. What updates are employees allowed to directly make on their own My Public Info page that all users with access to view their Public Spotlight can see?
About me, contact information, profile photo, public message, favorites, and background photo
About me, area of expertise, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and peer information
Area of expertise, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and HR representative information
Home address, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and background photo
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Public Information/Spotlight page within the Directory allows employees to share information visible to others with appropriate access. The "Using Global Human Resources" guide under "Directory" specifies that employees can directly update: Area of Expertise (skills or specialties), Area of Interest (professional interests), Contact Information (e.g., work phone, email), Profile Photo, Public Message (a personal note), and HR Representative Information (contact details of their HR rep). Option C lists these accurately. Option A includes "about me" and "favorites," which are not standard editable fields here. Option B adds "peer information," which isn’t employee-editable. Option D includes "home address," which is private and not part of the public profile. Thus, Option C is correct.
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
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.
Your customer wants to know how many employees are leaving the organization on their own. What is the correct sequence of steps that you need to perform to meet this requirement?
Create a new action > Associate it with an existing action type > Create a new action reason and use it during termination.
Create a new action reason and associate it with the available action type. Use it during termination.
Create a new action type > Create a new action > Create a new action reason and use it during termination.
Create a new action type > Create a new action reason and use it during termination.
Create a new action > Create a new reason and use it during termination.
To track voluntary terminations in Oracle HCM Cloud, you need a custom action and action reason:
Create a new action(e.g., "Voluntary Exit") via Manage Actions.
Associate it with an existing action type(e.g., "Termination") to categorize it correctly.
Create a new action reason(e.g., "Personal Reasons") and link it to the action, then use it during termination transactions.
This sequence enables reporting via tools like OTBI. Option B skips the action, limiting granularity. Options C and D create a new action type, which is unnecessary—existing types suffice. Option E misses associating the action with a type. Option A follows Oracle’s recommended process for detailed tracking.
Position Management settings are configurable on both the Enterprise HCM Information and the Legal Entity HCM Information tasks. Which settings can be set at the Enterprise level but can be overwritten at the Legal Entity level?
Position Synchronization Configuration settings
Position Synchronization Configuration and Position Incumbent Validation settings
Position Synchronization Configuration, Position Hierarchy Configuration, and Position Incumbent Validation settings
Position Synchronization Configuration and Position Hierarchy Configuration settings
In Oracle HCM Cloud, Position Management settings are defined at the Enterprise level (via Manage Enterprise HCM Information) and can be overridden at the Legal Entity level (via Manage Legal Entity HCM Information). The documentation specifies thatPosition Synchronization Configurationsettings (e.g., enabling synchronization, allowing overrides) are configurable at both levels, with Legal Entity settings taking precedence if specified. This allows tailored synchronization behavior per legal entity while maintaining an enterprise default.
Position Incumbent Validation (e.g., validating position assignments) and Position Hierarchy Configuration (e.g., hierarchy rules) are managed separately and not explicitly noted as overrideable at the Legal Entity level in the same way. Options B, C, and D include additional settings that lack evidence of Legal Entity override capability in the documentation. Option A correctly identifies Position Synchronization Configuration as the overrideable setting.
A consultant is trying to modify an existing lookup type to add a lookup code. But, they are not able to add lookup code.
What could be the possible reason?
The lookup type has been defined as Read Only.
The configuration level of lookup type is set as System.
The configuration level of lookup type is set as User.
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, lookup types are used to define lists of values (lookup codes) for fields, such as drop-down menus or selection lists. The question indicates that a consultant cannot add a lookup code to an existing lookup type, and we need to identify the reason. Lookup types have a configuration level that determines their modifiability: System, Extensible, or User.
Option A: The lookup type has been defined as Read Only.This option is incorrect because Oracle HCM Cloud does not use a Read Only designation for lookup types. Instead, modifiability is controlled by the Configuration Level (System, Extensible, or User). A System lookup type is non-editable, an Extensible lookup type allows adding new codes but not modifying predefined ones, and a User lookup type is fully editable. The term Read Only may be confused with System lookup types, but it is not a standard term in Oracle documentation for this context, making this option invalid.
Option B: The configuration level of lookup type is set as System.This is the correct answer. Lookup types with a System configuration level are predefined by Oracle and cannot be modified by users, including adding, editing, or deleting lookup codes. For example, a lookup type like PER_PERSON_TYPE (for person types) is set as System, preventing consultants from adding new codes to maintain system integrity. If the consultant is trying to modify such a lookup type, they will be unable to add a lookup code, as the system restricts changes. Oracle documentation confirms that System lookup types are locked for modifications, making this the most likely reason.
Option C: The configuration level of lookup type is set as User.This option is incorrect. A lookup type with a User configuration level is fully editable, allowing users to add, edit, or delete lookup codes as needed. For instance, a custom lookup type created for department categories would typically be User level, enabling the consultant to add new codes freely. Since the consultant cannot add a lookup code, a User configuration level does not explain the issue.
Why this reason?The inability to add a lookup code points to a restriction on the lookup type’s modifiability. The System configuration level explicitly prevents changes to ensure consistency across the application, aligning with Oracle’s design for predefined lookup types. Neither Read Only nor User accurately describes the restriction, as Read Only is not a valid term, and User allows modifications.

Challenge 2
Manage Legal Entity
Scenario
The newly acquired company that manufactures spring hinges for spectacles in Michigan will be its own legal entity. You need to create a legal entity for this company.
Task
Create a legal entity in the HCM system that will be its own Payroll Statutory Unit, where:
The name of the legal entity is X Cloud vision
The identifier is XCLDVIS
The legal address is, as previously created
The EIN or TIN is 93654213X
The Legal Reporting Unit Registration Number is 1212321X
See the solution in Explanation below.
This task requires creating a legal entity in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud for a newly acquired company, X Cloud Vision, that manufactures spring hinges for spectacles in Michigan. The legal entity must also be its own Payroll Statutory Unit (PSU), with specific details provided: name, identifier, legal address (previously created), EIN/TIN, and Legal Reporting Unit Registration Number. 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 as Application Implementation Consultant or HCM Application Administrator. These roles grant access to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Explanation: The Setup and Maintenance work area is the central hub for configuration tasks, including managing legal entities. The user must have permissions to access the Workforce Structures functional area and the Manage Legal Entity task. Roles like Application Implementation Consultant include the necessary privileges (e.g., Manage Legal Entity duty role).
Verification: Oracle documentation confirms that setup tasks require specific security roles, and the Manage Legal Entity task is restricted to authorized users.
Which new feature has been added to the Redwood Grade Rates page to enhance the search and filtering capabilities?
Capability to search and filter grade rate values by name, code, and set
Option to add custom columns to the grade rate table
A function to compare grade rates across different locations
The Redwood Grade Rates page in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud has been enhanced to improve usability, particularly in searching and filtering grade rate data. The question asks for the new feature added to enhance search and filtering capabilities. Oracle’s 24C release notes highlight specific improvements to the Redwood interface for grade rates, focusing on streamlined data retrieval.
Option A: Capability to search and filter grade rate values by name, code, and set
This is the correct answer. According to Oracle’s 24C release notes, the Redwood Grade Rates page now includes advanced search and filtering capabilities, allowing users to search and filter grade rates by attributes such as name, code, and set. This enhancement enables HR specialists to quickly locate specific grade rates, for example, filtering by a grade rate name like “Salary Grade 1” or a set code tied to a legislative data group. The feature improves efficiency in managing compensation data, especially in organizations with extensive grade structures, and is explicitly documented as a new Redwood functionality.
Option B: Option to add custom columns to the grade rate table
This option is incorrect. Oracle documentation, including 24C and 25A release notes, does not mention the ability to add custom columns to the grade rate table as a new feature on the Redwood Grade Rates page. While Oracle supports flexfields for customization in other areas, there is no evidence that this specific capability was introduced for grade rates. The focus of Redwood enhancements is on search, filtering, and UI improvements, not custom column additions.
Option C: A function to compare grade rates across different locations
This option is incorrect. There is no documented feature in the 24C or 25A releases that enables comparing grade rates across different locations on the Redwood Grade Rates page. While Oracle HCM Cloud supports location-based configurations (e.g., for payroll or local regulations), the Redwood Grade Rates page enhancements center on search and filter improvements, not comparative analysis across locations. This functionality would require custom reporting or analytics, not a standard page feature.
Why this feature?
The capability to search and filter by name, code, and set directly addresses the need for enhanced search and filtering, making it easier to manage grade rates in a user-friendly Redwood interface. This aligns with Oracle’s focus on improving data accessibility and usability in the 24C release.

You hired an employee on January 1, 2023. This employee got married on June 12, 2023. You received a request from the employee on July 11, 2023, to change their last name from the date of marriage. You changed the last name of the employee by using the Person Quick Action as requested on the same day. What are the effective dates for the Person and Assignment records?
August 15, 2023 for Person and June 12, 2023 for Assignment
January 1, 2023 for Assignment and July 11, 2023 for Person
June 12, 2023 for Person and Assignment
June 12, 2023 for Person and January 1, 2023 for Assignment
In Oracle HCM Cloud, the Person Quick Action (e.g., Change Name) updates the global person record, which is separate from assignment records. When an HR specialist changes an employee’s last name via Person Quick Action and specifies an effective date (e.g., the marriage date, June 12, 2023), this date applies to the person record. The documentation states that name changes can be backdated to reflect life events, and if the "Synchronize to Assignments" option is enabled (default behavior unless overridden), the updated name also propagates to all active assignments with the same effective date—here, June 12, 2023. The assignment’s original start date (January 1, 2023) remains unchanged unless explicitly modified via a separate transaction (e.g., Manage Employment).
Option A introduces an arbitrary August 15 date, which has no basis. Option B uses July 11 (request date) for Person, ignoring the backdated request, and January 1 for Assignment, which doesn’t reflect synchronization. Option D keeps Assignment at January 1, contradicting the synchronization default. Option C correctly sets both Person and Assignment to June 12, 2023, per Oracle’s name change and synchronization behavior.
You are configuring your customer's requirements for the Promote transaction.
Which Approval types are supported during the configuration?
Data Role, Application Role, Approval Groups, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Self Auto Approve, User
Application Role, Approval Groups, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Representative, Self Auto Approve, User
Application Role, Approval Groups, Management Hierarchy, Parent Position, Representative, User, Self Auto Approve
Enterprise Role, Application Role, Approval Groups, Parent Position, Representative, User, Self Auto Approve
When configuring approval rules for the "Promote" transaction in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the supported Approval Types are defined in the "Securing HCM" guide under "Approval Management." The correct types are: Application Role (e.g., HR Specialist), Approval Groups (predefined groups), Management Hierarchy (supervisory levels), Position Hierarchy (position-based levels), Representative (a delegate), Self Auto Approve (automatic approval for the initiator), and User (specific individual). Option B lists all these accurately. Option A includes "Data Role," which is a security concept, not an approval type. Option C uses "Parent Position" (not a standard term), and Option D includes "Enterprise Role" (not applicable here). Thus, Option B is correct.
You are setting up Core HR for a customer. During the work structure setup, you need to capture information such as work timings, standard working hours, organization manager and cost center.
Which type of organization allows you to maintain all these fields?
Legal Entity
Business Unit
Department
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, work structures include organizations like Legal Entities, Business Units, and Departments, each serving distinct purposes. The question asks which organization type allows capturing work timings, standard working hours, organization manager, and cost center during Core HR setup.
Option A: Legal EntityThis option is incorrect. A Legal Entity represents a legal employer or registered organization for compliance and reporting (e.g., tax, payroll). While it captures attributes like name, address, and jurisdiction, it does not maintain fields for work timings, standard working hours, organization manager, or cost center directly. Legal Entities are higher-level structures focused on regulatory requirements, not operational details like schedules or managers, making this option unsuitable.
Option B: Business UnitThis option is incorrect. A Business Unit organizes business functions for transaction processing (e.g., payroll, requisition approvals) and defines scope for data access. It captures attributes like default working hours for payroll purposes, but it does not directly maintain work timings, organization manager, or cost center as part of its setup. Business Units are broader constructs and lack the granularity to manage department-specific operational details, ruling out this option.
Option C: DepartmentThis is the correct answer. A Department in Oracle HCM Cloud is an organization type used to represent operational units (e.g., Sales, IT). During setup via the Manage Organization task, Departments allow capturing:
Work timings: Configured via work schedules or shift details associated with the department.
Standard working hours: Defined to specify default hours for employees in the department (e.g., 40 hours/week).
Organization manager: Assigned to designate the department’s manager or supervisor.
Cost center: Linked to track financial accountability for department activities. Oracle documentation confirms that Departments support these fields to manage workforce operations, making them the ideal organization type for this requirement.
Why this answer?Departments are designed to handle operational and workforce-related details, unlike Legal Entities (compliance-focused) or Business Units (transaction-focused). The ability to configure work timings, standard hours, managers, and cost centers aligns with the Department’s role in Core HR setup, making C the correct choice.

Availability (work time) can be defined in HCM Cloud in different ways. In what 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, Published schedules
Published schedules, Employment work week, Primary work schedule, Standard working hours
Published schedules, Primary work schedule, Employment work week, Standard working hours
Employment work week, Published schedules, Primary work schedule, Standard working hours
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, an employee’s work schedule is determined by a precedence order, as outlined in the "Managing Workforce Schedules" guide. The system searches:
Published schedules(specific schedules assigned to the worker, highest priority).
Employment work week(defined in the employment record).
Primary work schedule(a general schedule linked to the worker or job).
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 scheduleassignment.
Create a work pattern, create a shift, create a work schedule, and assign the schedule through work schedule assignment.
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.
A multinational construction company, headquartered in London, has operations in five countries. It has its major operations in the UK and US and small offices in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and India. The company employs 3,000 people in the UK and US and 500 people in the remaining locations. The entire workforce in India falls under the Contingent Worker category. How many Legislative DataGroups (LDGs), divisions, legal employers, and Payroll Statutory Units (PSUs) need to be configured for this company?
Four LDGs (UK, US, India, and one for Saudi Arabia and UAE combined), five divisions (one for each country), four legal employers (all except India), and five PSUs.
Five LDGs (one for each country), four divisions (UK, US, India, and one for Saudi Arabia and UAE combined), two legal employers and PSUs (US and UK only, because the workforce is very small in the other countries).
Five LDGs, five divisions, five legal employers, and five PSUs.
Five LDGs (one for each country), four divisions (UK, US, India, and one for Saudi Arabia and UAE combined), five legal employers, and four PSUs (all except India).
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, enterprise structures like LDGs, divisions, legal employers, and PSUs are configured based on legislative, operational, and payroll needs.
LDGs: One per country (UK, US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, India) due to distinct legislative requirements (e.g., labor laws, tax rules), totaling 5.
Divisions: Operationally, the company can group Saudi Arabia and UAE into one division due to their small size, alongside UK, US, and India, totaling 4 divisions.
Legal Employers: Each country typically requires a legal employer for employees (UK, US, Saudi Arabia, UAE). India’s contingent workers still require a legal employer for compliance, totaling 5.
PSUs: Payroll Statutory Units are needed for payroll processing. India’s contingent workers may not require a PSU if payroll is not processed (common for contingent workers), so 4 PSUs (UK, US, Saudi Arabia, UAE).
Option A: Incorrect; combining Saudi Arabia and UAE into one LDG ignores separate legislative needs.
Option B: Incorrect; only 2 legal employers and PSUs overlook small offices’ compliance needs.
Option C: Incorrect; 5 PSUs assume India needs payroll, which isn’t typical for contingent workers.
Option D: Correct: 5 LDGs, 4 divisions, 5 legal employers, 4 PSUs.
The correct answer isD, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on enterprise structures.
A static approval group named "Trio" comprises three members—Jacob, Susan, and Dia (in the mentioned order). For all the Manage Employment transactions, the approval should be routed to the "Trio" approval group. When the assignment change transaction is submitted, what is the order in which these three members receive the assignment change approval notification?
System decides the approval route by randomly selecting approvers who are a part of the approval group.
First Approver Jacob, Second Approver—Susan, Third Approver—Dia
First Approver Dia, Second Approver—Susan, Third Approver Jacob; the approval is routed alphabetically.
All three get the notification at the same time.
In Oracle HCM Cloud, a static approval group (e.g., "Trio") routes approvals sequentially based on the order members are listed in the group definition, unless configured otherwise (e.g., parallel routing). For "Trio" (Jacob, Susan, Dia), the documentation states that approval notifications follow this sequence: Jacob (first), Susan (second), Dia (third), with each approving in turn before the task progresses.
Option A (random) contradicts the fixed order of static groups. Option C (alphabetical) is incorrect—order is based on definition, not names. Option D (simultaneous) applies to parallel groups, not sequential static ones. Option B matches Oracle’s default behavior for static approval groups.
Select three correct Workforce Structure definitions.
Facility
Geography
Division
Department
Country
Location
Workforce Structures in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud define organizational and operational entities.
Option A: Facility is not a standard workforce structure; it might be a custom term.
Option B: Geography is part of the geography hierarchy, not a workforce structure.
Option C: Correct. Division is a workforce structure for grouping operations (e.g., Line of Business).
Option D: Correct. Department is a workforce structure for organizational units.
Option E: Country is a geography element, not a workforce structure.
Option F: Correct. Location is a workforce structure defining physical work sites.
The correct answers areC,D, andF, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on workforce structures.
An Enterprise Onboarding Journey checklist requires:
Use of the Transaction Design Studio (TDS) to display
Four or more tasks
HireRight Integration
At least one step (child checklist)
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, an Enterprise Onboarding Journey checklist is a structured process to guide new hires through onboarding tasks. According to the "Using Journeys" guide, an Enterprise Onboarding checklist must include at least one step, often implemented as a child checklist, to define the sequence of tasks or activities. This step-based structure allows for modularity and flexibility, enabling organizations to break down onboarding into manageable phases (e.g., pre-hire, first day). Option A (Transaction Design Studio) is a customization tool, not a requirement for the checklist itself. Option B (four or more tasks) is arbitrary and not mandated by Oracle documentation. Option C (HireRight Integration) is an optional third-party integration, not a requirement. Thus, Option D is correct as it aligns with the minimum structural requirement for anEnterprise Onboarding Journey checklist.
As part of a client’s configuration requirements, they have indicated that they want to create divisions by Line of Business within HCM Cloud. After creating them, in which two ways can you associate workers with a specific division?
Division is a delivered field on a position. If you are using Positions, when you associate a worker with a position, they will be associated with the division tied to that position.
You have configured an Organization Tree, listing the hierarchy of your Legal Entities,Divisions, Business Units, and Departments. You associate a worker with a department that falls within a division to associate the worker with that division.
Division is a delivered field on the worker assignment, so when a worker is hired, the correct division would be selected by the user entering the information.
You configure and deploy an assignment descriptive flexfield that has a table value set that references the Division object. When you complete a worker’s assignment, you select the appropriate division through that flexfield segment.
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, divisions are part of the workforce structure and can be associated with workers indirectly through other structures like positions, departments, or flexfields.
Option A: Incorrect. Division is not a delivered field on the position object; it’s a separate workforce structure. While positions can link to departments or business units, they do not inherently carry a division field.
Option B: Correct. By configuring an Organization Tree (via Manage Organization Trees), you can define a hierarchy where departments roll up to divisions. Associating a worker with a department in this hierarchy links them to the corresponding division indirectly.
Option C: Incorrect. Division is not a standard delivered field on the worker assignment; it must be configured via flexfields or derived through hierarchy.
Option D: Correct. You can extend the assignment record using a descriptive flexfield (DFF), defining a segment with a table value set linked to the Division object. During assignment creation, selecting a division in this segment associates the worker with it.
The correct answers areBandD, as supported by "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Workforce Structures and Flexfields.
The Promote transaction was configured by using Page Composer to require the location field. Another change was made to the transaction by using Transaction Design Studio, which indicated that the location field must be hidden when a manager uses the Promote transaction. How does the system determine how the user interface will render?
When a user tries to use the Promote transaction, the page will error when loading.
If modifications were made in both tools and the changes conflict, the result will be inconsistent behavior.
Transaction Design Studio configurations always override Page Composer configurations.
Page Composer configurations always override Transaction Design Studio configurations.
If modifications were made in both tools and the changes conflict, the last change created in either tool will be applied.
Oracle HCM Cloud allows UI customizations via Page Composer (for page-level changes) and Transaction Design Studio (for transaction-specific rules). When conflicting changes occur—e.g., Page Composer making the location field required and Transaction Design Studio hiding it for managers—the system resolves this based on the timestamp of the last modification. The documentation states that if modifications from both tools conflict, the most recent change (based on creation or update date) takes precedence, regardless of the tool used. This ensures predictable behavior without requiring a strict hierarchy between the tools.
Option A (page error) is incorrect as the system doesn’t crash—it resolves conflicts silently. Option B (inconsistent behavior) is misleading because Oracle provides a clear resolution mechanism. Option C (TDS always overrides) and Option D (Page Composer always overrides) are incorrect because precedence isn’t tool-specific but time-based. Option E accurately reflects Oracle’s behavior: the last change applied in either tool wins, aligning with the customer’s observed UI rendering.
Which two fields can be synchronized by Position?
Business Unit
Department
Legal Employer
Location
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Position Synchronization in Oracle HCM Cloud allows certain fields to automatically populate based on the position assigned to a worker. The two fields that can be synchronized are:
B: Department, as positions are often tied to specific departments, and this link can sync data.
D: Location, as positions are associated with work locations, enabling synchronization.
While promoting an employee in the system, it is required that the HR specialist be able to see the name of the next three jobs the employee can progress to in the list of values against the Job field. Which setup meets this requirement?
Descriptive flexfields must be defined to hold Progression Job Information.
Create an appropriate job set.
Benchmark all the jobs in the system.
Job Evaluation criteria must be set up during job creation.
Progression Job Information must be defined during job creation.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, job progression information can be configured to assist HR specialists during processes like promotions by displaying potential next jobs in the Job field’s list of values (LOV). The requirement here is to show the next three jobs an employee can progress to, which relates to the job setup.
Option E ("Progression Job Information must be defined during job creation") is correct. Oracle allows you to define job progression details when creating or editing a job in the system. This is done via the "Progression Job Information" section in the job definition, where you can specify a job family or progression path, including the next jobs in the sequence. When an HR specialist promotes an employee and searches the Job field, the system can display these related jobs in the LOV based on this setup. The "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide explains how job progression paths can be configured to support career planning and promotion processes.
Option A ("Descriptive flexfields must be defined to hold Progression Job Information") is incorrect because descriptive flexfields (DFFs) are used for custom attributes, not for defining job progression paths natively in the Job field LOV.
Option B ("Create an appropriate job set") is incorrect. Job sets are used to group jobs for reporting or processing, not to define progression paths visible in the Job field.
Option C ("Benchmark all the jobs in the system") relates to compensation benchmarking and does not influence job progression visibility in the LOV.
Option D ("Job Evaluation criteria must be set up during job creation") is about evaluating job worth (e.g., for compensation), not progression paths.
An HR administrator is unable to classify an "Intern" because the user type "Intern" has not been set up in the application.
Which two system person types can be used to set up "Intern" as an option?
Pending Worker
Person of Interest
Contract Worker
Contingent Worker
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, system person types are predefined categories used to classify individuals within the application, and user person types can be configured under these system person types to meet enterprise-specific needs, such as creating an "Intern" user type. The question asks which system person types can be used to set up "Intern" as an option. Based on Oracle documentation, the system person types available include Employee, Contingent Worker, Nonworker, and Pending Worker. The "Intern" classification typically represents a temporary or contractual worker performing work for the organization, often for a specific duration, which aligns closely with the characteristics of a Contingent Worker.
Option A: Pending WorkerA Pending Worker is a system person type used for individuals who will be hired or start a contingent worker placement but do not yet have an active work relationship. Their person record is created before the hire or start date, and they are converted to an Employee or Contingent Worker upon confirmation of the hire. While a Pending Worker record could be created for an intern prior to their start date, this system person type is a temporary state and not suitable for classifying an active "Intern" role, as it does not represent an ongoing work relationship. Therefore, Pending Worker is not the best fit for setting up "Intern" as a user type.
Option B: Person of InterestThe term "Person of Interest" is not a recognized system person type in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. Oracle documentation does not define "Person of Interest" as a standard system person type, though it may refer to entities (e.g., persons or organizations) tracked by the company in a broader sense. Nonworkers, such as volunteers or external contacts, might sometimes be loosely associated with this concept, but they are classified under the Nonworker system person type. Since "Person of Interest" is not a valid system person type, this option cannot be used to set up "Intern."
Option C: Contract Worker"Contract Worker" is not a predefined system person type in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. While Contingent Workers are often contractual in nature (e.g., agency-supplied or self-employed workers with fixed-duration work relationships), Oracle uses the term "Contingent Worker" as the system person type, not "Contract Worker." The application allows management of contract details for Contingent Workers under certain employment models, but "Contract Worker" itself is not a distinct system person type. Thus, this option is incorrect.
Option D: Contingent WorkerA Contingent Worker is a predefined system person type used for self-employed or agency-supplied workers whose work relationships with a legal employer are typically of a specified duration. Interns are often temporary workers engaged for a fixed period, performing specific tasks under a work relationship, which aligns with the Contingent Worker system person type. Oracle allows configuration of user person types under the Contingent Worker system person type to reflect enterprise-specific terminology. For example, an enterprise can create a user person type called "Intern" under the Contingent Worker system person type to classify interns. This makes Contingent Worker the most appropriate system person type for setting up "Intern" as an option.
The question specifies "two system person types," but based on Oracle documentation, only Contingent Worker is directly applicable for classifying an active "Intern" role, as Employee might imply a permanent or different contractual arrangement, and Nonworker or Pending Worker do not fit the typical intern profile. However, since the question requires two answers and Oracle’s configuration flexibility allows user person types under multiple system person types, the Employee system person type could theoretically be used if the intern is treated as a regular employee in some enterprises. Nevertheless, the most consistent and widely applicable choice for interns, based on their temporary and contractual nature, is Contingent Worker. Since only one answer aligns perfectly and the question’s phrasing may reflect a common test format expecting a single best fit or a potential documentation misalignment, Contingent Worker is selected as the verified answer.

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

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.
