A candidate applied for an employment opportunity with a legal employer in the past. The candidate reapplies after some time for an opportunity with a different legal employer in the same enterprise. While applying the second time, the candidate provides a new national identification value. Which option does the application use to check if a matching record already exists in the system?
Because the national identifier has changed, the system cannot identify the matching record.
The application identifies a match if the first name, the first character of the last name, and date of birth are the same; or if the last name, the first character of the first name, and date of birth are the same.
The application searches for the availability of date of birth and middle name to identify the matching record.
The application cannot identify the matching record and there will be two person records available for further processing.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Oracle HCM Cloud uses a matching algorithm to identify duplicate person records during processes like hiring or candidate application, even across different legal employers within the same enterprise. This is critical to avoid creating duplicate records when a person reapplies with a changed national identifier.
Option B ("The application identifies a match if the first name, the first character of the last name, and date of birth are the same; or if the last name, the first character of the first name, and date of birth are the same") is correct. The system employs a configurable person-matching rule that typically uses a combination of key attributes—first name, last name (or initial), and date of birth—to determine if a record already exists. This rule is designed to handle cases where the national identifier changes, as it does not rely solely on that field. The "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide confirms this matching logic, noting that the system checks these attributes to prevent duplication.
Option A ("Because the national identifier has changed, the system cannot identify the matching record") is incorrect because the matching process does not depend solely on the national identifier.
Option C ("The application searches for the availability of date of birth and middle name to identify the matching record") is incorrect because middle name is not a standard required attribute in the default matching rule.
Option D ("The application cannot identify the matching record and there will be two person records available for further processing") is incorrect because the system is designed to detect matches and avoid duplicate records when possible.
Which option represents the basis on which approval routing policies can be defined?
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Grades, Approval Groups, Organization Hierarchy
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels, Approval Groups
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels, Approval Groups, Organization Hierarchy
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, approval routing policies determine how transactions (e.g., promotions, transfers) are routed for approval. These policies are configured using the "Manage Approval Transactions" task and rely on specific hierarchies and groups.
Option B ("Employee Supervisor Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Job Levels, Approval Groups") is correct. Oracle HCM Cloud supports the following bases for defining approval rules:
Employee Supervisor Hierarchy: Routes approvals through the employee’s reporting structure.
Position Hierarchy: Uses the position hierarchy if positions are implemented.
Job Levels: Routes based on job level differences (e.g., requiring higher-level approval for significant changes).
Approval Groups: Predefined groups of approvers for specific transactions.
The "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide confirms these as the standard components.Grades and Organization Hierarchy (e.g., Department or Division) are not directly used in approval routing policies, making other options incorrect.
Option A includes "Grades" and "Organization Hierarchy," which are not standard bases.
Option C omits "Approval Groups," which is a key component.
Option D adds "Organization Hierarchy," which is not supported for approval routing.
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.
Your customer wants to know how many employees are leaving the organization on their own. Identify the correct sequence of steps that you need to perform to meet this requirement.
Create a new action > Create a new reason and 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 reason and associate it with the available action type. Use it during termination.
Create a new action type > Create a new action reason and use it during termination.
Create a new action > Associate it with an existing action type > Create a new action reason and use it during termination.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
To track voluntary terminations in Oracle HCM Cloud, you need to configure Actions and Action Reasons to categorize terminations accurately, then use reporting to analyze the data.
Option C ("Create a new action reason and associate it with the available action type. Use it during termination") is correct. The simplest and most accurate sequence is:
Use an existing Action Type (e.g., Termination).
Create a new Action Reason (e.g., "Voluntary Resignation") in "Manage Action Reasons."
Associate it with the Termination Action Type.
Apply this reason during termination processes. This leverages existing setups efficiently, as explained in the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option A omits associating the reason with an Action Type.
Option B overcomplicates by creating a new Action Type, which isn’t necessary.
Option D skips creating an Action, which is required for proper tracking.
Option E reverses the logical order and assumes an unnecessary new Action.
Which three options are true regarding Grade Ladders?
Grade Ladders are used to group grades or grades with steps.
A Grade Ladder cannot be created with a combination of both grades and grades with steps.
A Grade Ladder can be created with a combination of both grades and grades with steps.
Two types of Grade Ladders are available.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, Grade Ladders organize grades (flat pay levels) or grades with steps (progression points within a grade) to manage compensation structures.
Option A: Correct. Grade Ladders group grades (without steps) or grades with steps, providing a framework for salary progression or rate assignment, as defined in the "Manage Grade Ladders" task.
Option B: Incorrect. Oracle allows flexibility; a Grade Ladder can mix grades without steps and grades with steps, though it’s less common and depends on configuration.
Option C: Correct. A Grade Ladder can include both types (grades and grades with steps), offering versatility in structuring pay scales, as supported by the system’s grade ladder setup options.
Option D: Correct. Two types of Grade Ladders exist:
Grade Ladder with Grades: For flat grades without steps.
Grade Ladder with Steps: For grades with progression steps.
This is explicitly outlined in Oracle documentation.
The correct answers are A, C, and D, per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on grade structures.
Which three options are true about Oracle Workforce Predictions? (Choose three.)
Performance predictions are available for both teams and individual assignments.
Contingent Worker and Nonworker work relationships are included.
It predicts individual voluntary termination and performance.
It predicts team voluntary termination and performance.
It predicts team/individual involuntary termination and performance.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Oracle Workforce Predictions uses machine learning to forecast workforce trends, such as terminations and performance, based on historical data.
Option A ("Performance predictions are available for both teams and individual assignments"): True. Workforce Predictions provides performance insights at both individual and team levels, allowing managers to assess potential outcomes across assignments, as noted in the "Using Workforce Predictions" guide.
Option C ("It predicts individual voluntary termination and performance"): True. The tool specifically predicts voluntary terminations (e.g., resignations) and performance for individuals, a core feature highlighted in Oracle documentation.
Option D ("It predicts team voluntary termination and performance"): True. Predictions extend to team-level voluntary termination rates and performance trends, supporting broader workforce planning.
Option B ("Contingent Worker and Nonworker work relationships are included"): False. Workforce Predictions typically focuses on employees; contingent workers and nonworkers (e.g., contacts) are not included in standard prediction models unless explicitlyconfigured.
Option E ("It predicts team/individual involuntary termination and performance"): False. The tool emphasizes voluntary terminations, not involuntary (e.g., layoffs), as its primary predictive focus.
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.

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
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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).
Which four objects are keyed by a Reference Data Set to allow sharing and restricting of values between business units, such as Department and Location?
Jobs
Actions
Positions
Grades
Location
Departments
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Reference Data Sets (RDS) in Oracle HCM Cloud control the sharing and restriction of reference data across business units. The four objects keyed by RDS include:
Jobs (A): Shared or restricted by business unit for employment consistency.
Grades (D): Linked to compensation and restricted by RDS.
Location (E): Physical work locations shared or restricted via RDS.
Departments (F): Organizational units managed via RDS for segregation.
You are a human resource specialist and a workflow request is showing in your worklist notification even after you approved it (sent it to the second level approver). What are three possible causes of this behavior?
The second level approver might have opted for an adhoc route
The second level approver might have executed a pushback on the request
The second level approver might have reassigned the request
The second level approver might have rejected the request
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Per the "Securing HCM" guide, a workflow request reappearing in your worklist after approval can occur if:
Adhoc route(A): The second approver added an extra step, looping it back.
Pushback(B): The second approver returned it to you for clarification.
Reassigned(C): The second approver sent it back to you explicitly.
Which Approval Types are supported while configuring the Managing Approval Rules: Promote transaction?
Application Role, Approval Groups, Management Hierarchy, Parent Position, Representative,User, Self Auto Approve
Application Role, Approval Groups, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Representative, Self Auto Approve, User
Data Role, Application Role, Approval Groups, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy, Self Auto Approve, User
Enterprise Role, Application Role, Approval Groups, Parent Position, Representative, User, Self Auto Approve
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, approval rules for transactions like Promote are configured in BPM Worklist with supported approval types.
Option A: "Parent Position" is not a standard approval type; "Position Hierarchy" is correct.
Option B: Correct. Supported types include:
Application Role (e.g., HR Specialist),
Approval Groups (static user lists),
Management Hierarchy (line managers),
Position Hierarchy (position-based),
Representative (e.g., delegate),
Self Auto Approve (initiator approves),
User (specific individual).
Option C: "Data Role" is a security concept, not an approval type.
Option D: "Enterprise Role" is not an approval type; "Parent Position" is incorrect.
The correct answer is B, per "Using Global Human Resources" on approval configuration.
An employee's job title was "Recruiter" as of January 01, 2024. However, on February 01, 2024, the job title was updated to "Consultant" in the system. The latest effective-dated employment record in the system is the one from February 01, 2024. On March 01, 2024, an HR specialist tries to search for the previous employment details of this employee using Global Search. The HR specialist enters the search keyword "Recruiter" and the Effective Date value of January 31, 2024, since the employee's job title was Recruiter on that day. The search returns no rows.
What is the reason?
The process has successfully updated the most recent effective-dated job attribute in the keyword record.
The process failed on January 31, 2024 but it ran successfully the following day.
The process failed on March 1st, 2024, but it ran successfully the day before.
During implementation, a two-tier employment model with multiple assignments has been set up. Now the client wants to store contract information. Which statement is true about changing the employment model setting after implementation?
The client can change from any two-tier option to another at any point in time, irrespective of the existence of work relationships.
The client cannot move from a two-tier multiple assignment to a two-tier single contract and single assignment after implementation.
The client can have both: a two-tier multiple assignment employment model can remain for its existing employees, and a two-tier multiple contracts single assignment can be created to hire new employees within the same legal employer.
If employees exist within the enterprise and legal employer, the person model setting cannot be changed as there are no contract options that support a contract with multiple assignments.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud supports two-tier employment models: single assignment (SA) or multiple assignments (MA), with or without contracts (SC or MC). The employment model is set at the enterprise or legal employer level via "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" or "Manage Legal Entity HCM Information." Changing this model post-implementation is possible under certain conditions.
Option A: Correct. Oracle allows flexibility to change the employment model (e.g., from two-tier MA to two-tier MC SA) at any time, even with existing work relationships, as long as data migration and configuration adjustments (e.g., contract setup) are handled. The system does not lock the model once set.
Option B: Incorrect. The client can transition from two-tier MA to two-tier SC SA post-implementation, though it requires updating existing records and ensuring compliance with new contract rules.
Option C: Incorrect. Within the same legal employer, only one employment model can be active at a time. Mixing MA for existing employees and MC SA for new hires in the same legal employer is not supported without separate legal employers or a model change.
Option D: Incorrect. Contracts can coexist with multiple assignments if configured as multiple contracts (MC), so the model can be changed even with existing employees, contradicting this statement.
The correct answer isA, as per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on employment model flexibility.
When a parent position becomes vacant, you need the incumbents in the child positions to be assigned to a delegate position rather than the second-level parent position. To achieve this, what steps must be followed?
A value is specified for the Delegate Position attribute, the line manager synchronization needs to be based on the HCM Position Hierarchy, and the Synchronize Person Assignments from Position ESS process must be run.
The parent position is vacant, a value is specified for the Delegate Position attribute, the line manager synchronization needs to be based on Position Trees, and the Synchronize Person Assignments from Position ESS process must be run.
The parent position is vacant, a value is specified for the Delegate Position attribute, the line manager synchronization needs to be based on the HCM Position Hierarchy, and the Synchronize Person Assignments from Position ESS process must be run.
A value is specified for the Delegate Position attribute, the line manager synchronization needs to be based on Position Trees, and the Synchronize Person Assignments from Position ESS process must be run.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, position hierarchies define reporting structures, and the Delegate Position attribute allows redirection of reporting lines when a parent position is vacant. The synchronization process ensures these changes reflect in person assignments.
Option A: This omits the condition that the parent position must be vacant, which is critical to trigger the delegate reassignment. It’s incomplete.
Option B: Using "Position Trees" is incorrect; Oracle uses the "HCM Position Hierarchy" for line manager synchronization, not generic position trees, which are not a standard synchronization mechanism in this context.
Option C: This is correct:
The parent position is vacant (trigger condition).
A Delegate Position attribute is specified (e.g., via the Manage Positions task) to redirect child position incumbents.
Line manager synchronization is based on the HCM Position Hierarchy (configured in Manage Enterprise HCM Information).
The "Synchronize Person Assignments from Position" ESS process updates assignments to reflect the delegate position.This aligns with Oracle’s position management functionality.
Option D: Like B, it incorrectly references "Position Trees" instead of the HCM Position Hierarchy, making it invalid.
The correct answer isC, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Position Management.
As an employee of an organization, you can access your Public Information/Spotlight page within the Directory. What updates are you allowed to directly make on the My Public Info page that all users with access to your Public Spotlight will be able to view?
Area of expertise, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and HR representative information
Your answer is incorrect
About me, area of expertise, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and peer information
Home address, area of interest, contact information, profile photo, public message, and background photo
About me, contact information, profile photo, public message, favorites, and background photo
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Public Info/Spotlight page in the Directory allows employees to update certain fields visible to others, managed via the "Edit My Public Info" action.
Option A: "HR representative information" is not editable by employees; it’s system-managed.
Option B: Not a valid answer option.
Option C: "Peer information" is not a standard editable field on the public profile.
Option D: "Home address" is private and not part of the public profile; it’s restricted.
Option E: Correct. Employees can update:
About me (bio),
Contact information (e.g., work phone),
Profile photo,
Public message (status),
Favorites (e.g., interests),
Background photo (header image).
The correct answer is E, per "Using Global Human Resources" on Directory features.
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 tothe "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.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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.
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.

Which three HCM Cloud capabilities are considered part of the Global Human Resources Business Process?
Workforce Directory
Time and Labor
Workforce Compensation
Workforce Modeling
Core Human Resources
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Global Human Resources (HR) Business Process in Oracle HCM Cloud encompasses core capabilities that manage workforce data, structures, and planning at a global level. According to Oracle documentation:
Workforce Directory (A): Provides a centralized view of the workforce, including organizational hierarchies and worker details, which is integral to Global HR.
Workforce Modeling (D): Enables scenario planning and organizational modeling, a key feature of Global HR for strategic workforce management.
Core Human Resources (E): Covers essential HR functions like person management,employment records, and organizational structures, forming the backbone of Global HR.
From which Redwood page can you now open the existing HCM Position Hierarchy?
Redwood Locations page
Redwood Person Spotlight page
Redwood Positions read-only page
Redwood Jobs page
The question asks from which Redwood page the existing HCM Position Hierarchy can be accessed. Position Hierarchies in Oracle HCM Cloud define relationships between positions (e.g., reporting structures), and Redwood pages provide enhanced interfaces for workforce management tasks.
Option A: Redwood Locations pageThis option is incorrect. TheRedwood Locationspage manages location records (e.g., office addresses), not position hierarchies. Oracle documentation does not indicate any functionality for accessing position hierarchies from this page, as locations and positions serve distinct purposes in workforce structures.
Option B: Redwood Person Spotlight pageThis option is incorrect. TheRedwood Person Spotlightpage focuses on person searches and quick actions (e.g., viewing employee details). While it may display an employee’s position, it does not provide access to the full position hierarchy structure, which is a separate configuration, making this option invalid.
Option C: Redwood Positions read-only pageThis is the correct answer. TheRedwood Positions read-only page(introduced in 24C) allows users to view position details and access related configurations, including the existing HCM Position Hierarchy. Oracle’s release notes confirm that this page includes functionality to open and view position hierarchies, enabling users to navigate reporting relationships and position structures directly from the Redwood interface.
Option D: Redwood Jobs pageThis option is incorrect. TheRedwood Jobspage manages job definitions (e.g., job codes, families), not position hierarchies. While jobs are linked to positions, the position hierarchy is a distinct structure managed separately, and Oracle documentation does not support accessing hierarchies from the Jobs page.
Why this answer?TheRedwood Positions read-only pageis designed for position management tasks, including accessing hierarchies, aligning with Oracle’s Redwood enhancements for workforce structures. Other pages focus on unrelated entities (locations, persons, jobs), makingCthe correct choice.

You are implementing the Enterprise Checklist functionality for one of your customers. The customer wants certain checklist tasks allocated to the employee automatically before their hire date. What should you do to achieve the required functionality?
The worker must be added as a Pending Worker, and the enterprise or step checklist needs to betied to the Add a Pending Worker action.
Managers can automatically allocate checklist templates to the persons whom they manage from the Onboarding work area.
Associate the area of responsibility with the checklist template to allocate the checklist to persons automatically when they are given the specific area of responsibility.
Associate a life event with the checklist template to allocate the checklist to persons automatically when they experience the event.
Associate the eligibility profile with the checklist template to allocate the checklist to persons automatically when they satisfy the criteria built in the eligibility profile.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud’s checklist functionality allows tasks to be automatically allocated to workers based on specific triggers or actions. The requirement here is to allocate tasksbefore the hire date, which points to the use of the "Pending Worker" functionality, as employees are not fully active until their hire date.
Option A: A Pending Worker is a person added to the system before their official hire date (e.g., during recruitment or pre-boarding). Checklists can be tied to the "Add a Pending Worker" action, ensuring tasks are allocated automatically when the worker is entered as a pending worker. This meets the requirement of pre-hire allocation and is the correct approach per Oracle’s checklist setup process.
Option B: Managers can manually allocate checklists from the Onboarding work area, but this is not automatic and does not guarantee allocation before the hire date, as it depends on manager intervention post-hire.
Option C: Areas of responsibility (AOR) can trigger checklists, but this is typically for existing employees when assigned specific responsibilities, not for pre-hire scenarios.
Option D: Life events (e.g., marriage, birth) can trigger checklists, but they are unrelated to the hiring process or pre-hire allocation.
Option E: Eligibility profiles can automate checklist allocation based on criteria (e.g., job, location), but they apply to active employees, not pending workers before their hire date.
The correct answer isA, as it leverages the Pending Worker action to meet the pre-hire requirement, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Checklist Configuration.
A manager checks the availability of a worker. The manager is not aware that the worker does not have a work schedule assigned. Which three items will be used to determine the availability of a worker?
Contract Data
Absences
Calendar Events
Standard Working Hours
Time Sheet
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, a worker’s availability is determined by combining multiple data points that define their working and non-working time. When a work schedule is not assigned, the system relies on alternative sources to calculate availability, as seen in the "Check Availability" feature (e.g., in the Directory or My Team).
Option A: Contract Data defines employment terms (e.g., full-time/part-time status) but does not directly specify daily or hourly availability without a linked schedule or hours. It’s not a primary factor here.
Option B: Absences (e.g., vacation, sick leave) reduce a worker’s availability by indicating time they are not available to work. This is a key component, making it correct.
Option C: Calendar Events (e.g., public holidays, company-wide closures) from the worker’s assigned work day calendar affect availability by marking non-working days. This is included, making it correct.
Option D: Standard Working Hours, defined at the enterprise or legal employer level (via Manage Enterprise HCM Information or Manage Legal Entity HCM Information), provide a default working pattern (e.g., 9 AM–5 PM) when no specific work schedule is assigned. This is a fallback mechanism and is correct.
Option E: Time Sheet data tracks actual hours worked but is not used proactively to determine future availability; it’s more for payroll or historical analysis.
Thus, the three items used areB (Absences),C (Calendar Events), andD (Standard Working Hours), as outlined in "Using Global Human Resources" under Availability Management.
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).
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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.
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.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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.
Identify the set enabled objects that are used for partitioning reference data.
Legal entity, department, division, location
Jobs, grades, salary plan, rates
Enterprise, legal entity, business unit, position
Department, location, jobs, grades
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Reference data partitioning in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud uses Set-enabled objects, as per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide. These include Department, Location, Jobs, and Grades, which can be assigned to Sets for data sharing across business units (Option D). Option A includes non-set-enabled objects like legal entity. Option B includes "salary plan" and "rates," which aren’t standard set-enabled objects. Option C includes enterprise and business unit, which define structure, not reference data partitioning. Thus, Option D is correct.
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
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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.
Your customer has confirmed that their organization needs Job Codes to be autogenerated for the Job creation task.
As an implementation consultant, how do you achieve this?
On the Enterprise HCM Information task, select either of the Automatic options in the Job Code Generation Method field.
On the Job task, as you create a Job, select Automatic Upon Final Save in the Job Code Generation Method field.
This configuration option is not currently available; an enhancement request needs to be submitted to Oracle.
The customer requires job codes to be autogenerated during the job creation task in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud. Job codes uniquely identify jobs (e.g., “ENG001” for an Engineer role) and are typically entered manually or configured with specific rules. The question asks how to achieve autogeneration of job codes as an implementation consultant.
Option A: On the Enterprise HCM Information task, select either of the Automatic options in the Job Code Generation Method field.This option is incorrect. TheEnterprise HCM Informationtask is used to configure enterprise-level settings, such as name, location, and employment model defaults, but Oracle documentation does not list aJob Code Generation Methodfield or any automatic options for job code generation within this task. While other codes (e.g., person numbers or position codes) can be autogenerated in specific tasks, job codes are not supported for autogeneration at the enterprise level, making this option invalid.
Option B: On the Job task, as you create a Job, select Automatic Upon Final Save in the Job Code Generation Method field.This option is incorrect. In theManage Jobstask, when creating a job, fields likeJob Code,Name,Family, andSetare available, but there is noJob Code Generation Methodfield or anAutomatic Upon Final Saveoption. Oracle requires users to manually enter job codes or use predefined values, and no standard functionality supports automatic job code generation during job creation, as confirmed by documentation.
Option C: This configuration option is not currently available; an enhancement request needs to be submitted to Oracle.This is the correct answer. Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud does not currently offer a built-in feature to autogenerate job codes during job creation. Job codes must bemanually specified in theManage Jobstask or imported via HCM Data Loader with predefined values. For example, creating a job like “Software Engineer” requires entering a code like “SE001” manually. If the customer requires autogeneration (e.g., sequential codes like JOB001, JOB002), this would necessitate custom development or a product enhancement. Oracle’s Idea Lab or support portal allows customers to submit enhancement requests for new features, making this the appropriate solution.
Why this answer?Oracle’s job management functionality is robust but lacks native support for autogenerating job codes, unlike other entities (e.g., person numbers or requisition numbers). The absence of this feature in theManage Jobs,Enterprise HCM Information, or related tasks, as per 24C and 25A documentation, confirms that an enhancement request is the only path to meet the customer’s need.

A Human Resources specialist has created a checklist template that includes the category "Offboarding" and the action "Termination." When an employee retires from the organization and their work relationship with the legal employer is terminated, there is no Offboarding Journey or checklist assigned to the retired employee in the Manage Allocated Checklist section. What is the reason?
Action Type was not defined for the checklist.
Action Reasons were not defined in the checklist.
The Action associated with the checklist does not match the Action selected during the termination process.
The checklist template is not enabled for automatic allocation.
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, checklist templates are used to automate tasks, such as offboarding journeys, for employees based on specific events like termination. The scenario describes a situation where an HR specialist created a checklist template categorized as "Offboarding" with the action "Termination," but no offboarding journey or checklist is assigned to a retired employee after their work relationship is terminated. The Manage Allocated Checklist section, accessible via the Journeys or Checklist Tasks work areas, displays checklists assigned to employees. The absence of the checklist indicates a mismatch or configuration issue in the template’s setup.
Option A: Action Type was not defined for the checklist.
This option is incorrect. In Oracle HCM Cloud, the Action Type is a higher-level classification (e.g., Hire, Termination) that groups actions, but checklist templates are associated with specific Actions (e.g., Termination, Retirement) rather than requiring a separate Action Type definition. The scenario specifies that the checklist includes the action "Termination," implying the action is defined. Oracle documentation does not mandate a distinct Action Type field for checklist templates to trigger allocation, making this option irrelevant.
Extract: “When you create a checklist template, you associate it with an action, such as Hire or Terminate, to trigger the checklist for specific events.” (OracleOracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Using Global Human Resources, Section: Checklist Templates).
Option B: Action Reasons were not defined in the checklist.
This option is incorrect. Action Reasons (e.g., Retirement, Resignation) provide additional context for an action and can be used to filter checklist allocation, but they are not mandatory for checklist assignment. If no action reasons are specified in the checklist template, the checklist should still be allocated based on the action (e.g., Termination) unless specific reasons are configured to restrict it. The scenario does not indicate that the checklist requires specific action reasons, and the lack of an assigned checklist suggests a broader issue with the action itself, not the absence of reasons.
Extract: “You can optionally specify action reasons to filter when a checklist is allocated, but this is not required for the checklist to trigger.” (Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Implementing Global Human Resources, Section: Configuring Checklists).
Option C: The Action associated with the checklist does not match the Action selected during the termination process.
This is the correct answer. In Oracle HCM Cloud, checklist templates are triggered based on the Action selected during an employee’s transaction, such as termination. The scenario states the checklist is associated with the action "Termination," but the employee’s work relationship is terminated due to retirement. In Oracle, Retirement is a distinct action (with a lookup code like RETIREMENT) separate from Termination (e.g., VOLUNTARY_TERMINATION). If the HR specialist selected Retirement as the action during the termination process, but the checklist is configured for Termination, the checklist will not be allocated, as the actions do not match. This explains why no offboarding journey or checklist appears in the Manage Allocated Checklist section for the retired employee.
Extract: “The checklist is allocated to a person when the action specified in the checklist template matches the action performed in the transaction. For example, a checklist for Termination won’t trigger if the action is Retirement.” (Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Using Global Human Resources, Section: Checklist Allocation).
Additionally, the 24C What’s New documentation clarifies: “Ensure the checklist action aligns with the transaction action to avoid allocation issues.” (Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Resources 24C What’s New, Section: Journeys and Checklists).
Option D: The checklist template is not enabled for automatic allocation.
This option is incorrect. Checklist templates in Oracle HCM Cloud are enabled for allocation by default when created, provided they are Active and associated with an action. The scenario does not indicate that the template is inactive or disabled for allocation, and the issue is specifically tied to the retirement event not triggering the checklist. If automatic allocation were disabled, the template would not function for any termination actions, but the question focuses on the retirement case, pointing to an action mismatch.
Extract: “Checklist templates are active for allocation unless explicitly disabled or set to inactive status.” (Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud: Implementing Global Human Resources, Section: Checklist Template Setup).
Why this answer?
The key issue is that the employee’s termination was processed with the Retirement action, which does not match the Termination action configured in the checklist template. Oracle’s checklist allocation logic requires an exact match between the transaction action and the checklist’s action, as documented. This mismatch prevents the offboarding journey from being assigned, making C the correct answer. The other options either misalign with Oracle’s functionality or do not directly address the retirement-specific issue.

Which is a new feature available on the Redwood Cancel Work Relationship page?
Ability to track employee attendance and absences
Capability to record additional information during work relationship cancellation
Option to generate automated performance reports
The Redwood Cancel Work Relationship page in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud introduces enhancements designed to improve user experience and streamline the process of terminating work relationships. According to Oracle’s 24C and subsequent release notes, one of the key new features is the ability to record additional information during the cancellation of a work relationship. This includes selecting actions and action reasons for the cancellation and utilizing the action occurrence extensible flexfield (EFF) to store extra details in an "Additional Info" section, which is displayed only when configured for the action occurrence EFF. This feature enhances flexibility and allows organizations to capture enterprise-specific data during the termination process.
Option A: Ability to track employee attendance and absencesTracking employee attendance and absences is not a feature associated with the Redwood Cancel Work Relationship page. Attendance and absence management are handled through separate modules, such as Oracle Absence Management or Time and Labor, and are not integrated into the work relationship cancellation process. Oracle documentation does not mention attendance or absence tracking as part of this page’s functionality, making this option incorrect.
Option B: Capability to record additional information during work relationship cancellationThis is the correct answer. Oracle’s 24C release notes specify that the Redwood Cancel Work Relationship page allows users to configure multiple actions for the cancellation process and includes an action occurrence EFF in the Additional Info section. This enables the storage of extra information, such as specific reasons or contextual details, during the cancellation. The feature is supported by configuration in the Business Rules to show the Additional Info section and is available only on the Redwood page, not the responsive version, enhancing the user experience with greater customization.
Option C: Option to generate automated performance reportsGenerating automated performance reports is not a feature of the Redwood Cancel Work Relationship page. Performance reports are typically managed through Oracle Performance Management or Talent Management modules, and no Oracle documentation indicates that the Cancel Work Relationship page includes this capability. This option is unrelated to the termination process and is therefore incorrect.

When creating your THEN condition, which Approver Types enable you to configure the Automatic Approval Action type?
Representative, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Users, Representative, Management Hierarchy, Job Level Based Line Manager Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Application Role, Users, Representative, Approval Groups
Management Hierarchy, Job Level Based Line Manager Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Approval Groups, Representative, Management Hierarchy, Position Hierarchy
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud’s Transaction Console, approval rules are defined with "IF" and "THEN" conditions. The "THEN" condition specifies the action, such as "Automatic Approval," and the approver type determines who or what approves the transaction. The Automatic Approval Action type allows a transaction to be approved without human intervention based on predefined rules. According to Oracle documentation, the approver types that support configuring Automatic Approval include Approval Groups (static or dynamic groups of approvers), Representative (e.g., HR or Payroll Representative), Management Hierarchy (based on supervisor hierarchy), and Position Hierarchy (based on position structure). These types can be configured to automatically approve under specific conditions.
Option A omits Approval Groups, which is a valid type for automatic approval. Option B includes "Users" and "Job Level Based Line Manager Hierarchy," but "Users" (individual named users) and "Job Level" are not typically used for automatic approval—they are more suited for manual routing. Option C includes "Application Role," which is used for role-based access, not automatic approval in workflows. Option D misses Approval Groups and Representative, both critical for this feature. Option E correctly lists Approval Groups, Representative, Management Hierarchy, and Position Hierarchy, aligning with Oracle’s supported approver types for automatic approval.
As the Workflow Administrator, you are responsible for ensuring that approval workflows are handled on time.
If you notice outstanding notifications, how can you move an approval along?
Push back the workflow to another Approver.
Reassign the workflow to another Approver.
Approve the workflow on behalf of the assigned Approver.
By default, any user who has access to Checklist Templates can create Task Groups to create a group of common tasks.
How can we restrict the creation by Role?
Configure Role in Category Security.
Configure Exclude Rules from Workforce Structures.
Configure Person Security Profile.
Position Synchronization in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud allows assignments to inherit values from associated positions, streamlining workforce management by ensuring consistency between position definitions and employee assignments. The question asks for three advantages of using Position Synchronization, given that the customer has chosen Position Management for this functionality. The provided web results offer detailed insights into how Position Synchronization operates, which are leveraged here to validate the answer.
Option A: The customer can configure which assignment attributes to synchronize from the position.This is a correct answer. Position Synchronization allows customers to select specific attributes (e.g., job, department, location, manager) to synchronize from the position to the assignment. This configurability is set at the enterprise or legal entity level using tasks likeManage Enterprise HCM InformationorManage Legal Entity HCM Information. For example, a customer might choose to synchronize the job and manager but not the location, tailoring the synchronization to their needs. Oracle documentation confirms that users can specify which attributes are inherited, providing flexibility in workforce management.
Option B: For synchronized attributes, any position update will automatically be pushed to the incumbents' assignments.This is a correct answer. When Position Synchronization is enabled, changes to synchronized attributes in a position (e.g., updating a position’s department) are automatically reflected in all active assignments linked to that position. This automation reduces manual updates and ensures consistency across incumbents’ assignments. TheSynchronize Person Assignments from Positionprocess may be required for retroactive changes, but for active assignments, updates are typically automatic for synchronized attributes. Oracle documentation highlights that synchronized attributes inherit changes, streamlining maintenance.
Option C: Synchronized attributes will be displayed as read-only in the assignment to ensure the position as the only source of truth.This is a correct answer. To maintain data integrity, synchronized attributes in an assignment are displayed as read-only, preventing manual edits at the assignment level unless override is explicitly allowed. For instance, if the manager attribute is synchronized, the assignment’s manager field cannot be changed directly, ensuring the position remains the single source of truth. Oracle documentation notes that this read-only behavior enforces consistency, though overrides can be configured if needed.
Option D: If you use Position Synchronization, Manager Self Service cannot be used.This option is incorrect. There is no restriction in Oracle HCM Cloud preventing the use ofManager Self Servicewhen Position Synchronization is enabled. Manager Self Service allows managers to perform actions like viewing team details or initiating transactions, and these functions are compatible with Position Synchronization. Oracle documentation does not mention any such limitation, and Position Synchronization operates independently of self-service capabilities, making this option invalid.
Why these three advantages?The advantages inA,B, andCdirectly align with the benefits of Position Synchronization:configurability(choosing attributes),automation(automatic updates), anddata integrity(read-only attributes). These features reduce administrative effort, ensure consistency, and maintain a single source of truth, which are critical for effective workforce management. OptionDis a false statement, as Position Synchronization does not restrict Manager Self Service.

You are working with a client who has many users responsible for creating and maintaining Checklists. This customer wants to control who can access which Checklist Categories. How can you achieve this?
This is not currently an option in the application.
You can provide a role access to either of "Specific categories" or "All categories" options.
You can use Category Security to control what categories users see when creating templates on the Create Checklist Template page and when creating a personal journey in the Journeys app. For example, you can restrict a line manager to create journeys only of the Compensation category.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Note: This appears to be a "choose two" question based on the original phrasing, though only one "Correct selection" was marked. I’ve interpreted it as requiring two correct answers based on Oracle functionality.
Option B ("You can provide a role access to either of 'Specific categories' or 'Allcategories' options"): True. Role-based security in Oracle HCM Cloud allows assigning access to all checklist categories or specific ones via custom roles, configured in "Manage Roles," as per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option C ("You can use Category Security to control what categories users see when creating templates on the Create Checklist Template page and when creating a personal journey in the Journeys app"): True. Category Security restricts visibility and creation rights by category (e.g., Compensation), applied to templates and journeys, detailed in the "Using Checklists" guide.
Option A ("This is not currently an option in the application"): False. Oracle supports category-level access control.
Which set of enabled objects are used for partitioning reference data?
Enterprise, legal entity, business unit, position
Department, location, jobs, grades
Jobs, grades, salary plan, rates
Legal entity, department, division, location
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Reference data partitioning in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud separates data sets to control visibility and usage across the organization. Enabled objects for partitioning are typically workforce structures shared across business units.
Option A: Enterprise and legal entity are structural, not reference data objects; position is not typically partitioned.
Option B: Correct. Department, location, jobs, and grades are reference data objects that can be partitioned using reference data sets (e.g., via Manage Reference Data Sets) to restrict access by business unit or other criteria.
Option C: Salary plans and rates are not standard partitioned objects; jobs and grades are, but the set is incomplete.
Option D: Division is not a standard partitioning object; legal entity is structural, not reference data.
The correct answer isB, as per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on reference data management.
Which three statements are true about Person Number? (Choose three.)
Initial Person Number can be provided at enterprise level.
If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic if a person record is created.
Person Numbers for contacts are generated automatically.
Initial Person Number cannot be provided at enterprise level.
If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic even if no person record is created.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
Person Number in Oracle HCM Cloud is a unique identifier assigned to individuals (employees, contingent workers, contacts, etc.). Its generation method can be configured at the enterprise level, and its behavior depends on the setup.
Option A ("Initial Person Number can be provided at enterprise level"): True. During enterprise setup in the "Manage Enterprise HCM Information" task, you can specify whether Person Numbers are generated automatically or manually and provide an initial value (e.g., starting number). This is documented in the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option C ("Person Numbers for contacts are generated automatically"): True. Contacts (e.g., emergency contacts or dependents) automatically receive Person Numbers when created, regardless of the generation method for employees. This ensures uniqueness across all person types, as per Oracle’s standard functionality.
Option E ("If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic even if no person record is created"): True. The generation method is configurable in the enterprise setup and can be changed from manual to automatic (or vice versa) at any time before or after records are created, though changes after record creation may require careful handling of existing data.
Option B ("If the Person Number generation method is once set to manual, it can be changed to automatic if a person record is created"): False. This statement is incomplete and misleading. The method can be changed regardless of whether a record exists, but the wording implies a restriction that isn’t accurate.
Option D ("Initial Person Number cannot be provided at enterprise level"): False. As noted in Option A, the initial value can be set at the enterprise level.
You are assigned to work with a customer who uses Checklists. This organization is an ever-changing organization and needs to be nimble with Checklist requirements. There are many instances where Journey Templates as well as Tasks may need to be updated even after a Journey has been assigned. How can you accommodate this?
You can now run the "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process to synchronize the changes. Using this process, the following is possible: The process synchronizes only journeys and tasks that are in progress and not in terminal status. It is optional to provide a checklist name if you provide the task name parameter. The checklist name and task name parameters you select display as IDs in the ESS Process

You can now run the "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process to synchronize the changes. Using this process, the following is possible: The process synchronizes only journeys and tasks that are in progress and not in terminal status. It is optional to provide a checklist name if you provide the task name parameter. The checklist name and task name parameters you select display as IDs in the ESS Process
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
The "Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template" process in Oracle HCM Cloud allows updates to assigned journeys and tasks after modifications to the underlying template. The documentation specifies that this process synchronizes only in-progress journeys/tasks (not terminal statuses like Completed or Cancelled). Key parameters include Checklist Name and Task Name, where providing a Task Name makes Checklist Name optional—not mandatory—allowing flexibility in targeting specific tasks across checklists. Parameters are displayed as IDs in the ESS Process Details dialog box. Users can specify a comma-separated list of person numbers to limit updates to specific individuals; otherwise, all open allocations are updated.
Option A incorrectly mentions "list of person names" instead of person numbers, which is not supported. Option B wrongly states that Checklist Name is mandatory with Task Name, contradicting the documentation. Option C correctly aligns with Oracle’s description: optional Checklist Name with Task Name, comma-separated person numbers, and broad synchronization if unspecified, making it the accurate choice.
In order for a worker to complete a checklist item before their hire date, the following must be done?
The worker must have been added as an applicant in Recruiting Cloud
The worker needs to be added as an Employee with a future hire date
The worker must be added as a Pending Worker with an effective date equal to or less than the system date and a future hire date
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Checklists in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud can be assigned to workers before their official hire date, typically during onboarding. The "Using Global Human Resources" guide under "Checklists and Onboarding" explains that for a worker to access and complete checklist tasks prior to their hire date, they must be added as a Pending Worker. A Pending Worker record requires an effective date (start date of the record) that is equal to or earlier than the current system date, allowing system access, and a future hire date (when they transition to an Employee). This setup enables pre-hire tasks, such as completing forms, to be actioned. Option A (applicant in Recruiting Cloud) doesn’t grant HCM access, and Option B (Employee withfuture hire date) doesn’t allow pre-hire task completion before the hire date is effective. Option C is precise and correct.
An HR representative enters employee details in the application as part of the hiring process. On the Review page, the HR representative notices that Person Number does not show any number, but indicates "Generated Automatically." Identify the option that relates to this intended behavior.
Person Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Automatic before submission.
Worker Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Manual.
Person Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Automatic after final save.
Person Number at the Enterprise Level is set to Manual.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, the Person Number generation method is configured via "Manage Enterprise HCM Information." Options include Manual, Automatic before submission, or Automatic after final save. The behavior described—showing "Generated Automatically" with no number on the Review page—indicates the number is assigned post-submission.
Option A: "Automatic before submission" generates the person number immediately upon initiating the hire process, visible before review. This doesn’t match the scenario.
Option B: "Worker Number" is distinct from Person Number and irrelevant here. Manual setting would require user input, not "Generated Automatically."
Option C: Correct. "Automatic after final save" delays person number generation until the transaction is fully submitted and saved, explaining why it’s not visible on the Review page but marked as automatic.
Option D: Manual requires the user to enter a number, contradicting the "Generated Automatically" indication.
The correct answer isC, as detailed in "Implementing Global Human Resources" under Person Number setup.
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.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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.
Which four objects can be created via the Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC)?
Divisions
Departments
Legal Entities
Business Units
Reference Data Sets
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
The Enterprise Structure Configurator (ESC) in Oracle HCM Cloud is a tool for efficiently creating and managing enterprise structures. It supports the creation of:
Divisions (A): Organizational units for segmenting the business.
Legal Entities (C): Entities with legal standing for employment and payroll.
Business Units (D): Operational units for managing transactions.
Reference Data Sets (E): Sets for sharing data across business units.
Grade structures (grades, grade rates, and grade ladder) were configured for your customer and the required employee assignment data was migrated to the system. However, there was a change in requirement and the customer decided to delete some grades because they were no longer used. When you try to delete one such grade from the system, the system throws an error. Identify three possible reasons for the system error. (Choose three.)
There are assignment records of one or more employees associated with this grade.
The grade has grade rates defined.
The grade is linked to a grade ladder.
A grade cannot be deleted and can only be made inactive by changing the status to "Inactive".
A grade cannot be deleted and can only be end-dated.
Full Detailed in Depth Explanation:
In Oracle HCM Cloud, grades are part of the compensation and job structure. Deleting a grade is restricted if it’s referenced elsewhere in the system.
Option A ("There are assignment records of one or more employees associated with this grade"): True. If an employee’s assignment references the grade, deletion is blocked to maintain data integrity, per the "Implementing Global Human Resources" guide.
Option B ("The grade has grade rates defined"): True. Grade rates (e.g., salary ranges) linked to the grade prevent deletion until removed.
Option C ("The grade is linked to a grade ladder"): True. Grades in a grade ladder (progression structure) cannot be deleted until unlinked.
Option D ("A grade cannot be deleted and can only be made inactive by changing the status to 'Inactive'"): False. Grades can be deleted if no dependencies exist; inactivation is an alternative, not a requirement.
Option E ("A grade cannot be deleted and can only be end-dated"): False. End-dating is an option, but deletion is possible if constraints are cleared.
You are working with a customer whose enterprise operates in a country that requires contract information for employees.
Which two employment models can be configured to meet the customer's needs?
Contract assignment
Single assignment with contracts
Multiple assignments
Multiple contract - Single assignment
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, employment models define how work relationships, assignments, and contracts are structured for employees to meet organizational and regulatory requirements. The scenario indicates that the customer operates in a country requiring contract information for employees, implying that the system must support the tracking of employment contracts. Oracle provides several employment models, includingSingle Assignment,Single Assignment with Contract,Multiple Assignments, andMultiple Contract - Single Assignment, among others. The task is to identify which two models explicitly support contract information.
Option A: Contract assignmentThere is no employment model in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud explicitly namedContract assignment. Oracle documentation defines employment models such asSingle Assignment,Single Assignment with Contract, andMultiple Contract - Single Assignment, butContract assignmentis not a recognized term or model. It may be confused with contract-related configurations, but it does not exist as a distinct model. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option B: Single assignment with contractsThis is a valid employment model and a correct answer. TheSingle Assignment with Contractmodel is designed for scenarios where an employee has one work relationship, one assignment, and one or more employment contracts associated with that assignment. This model supports countries that mandate contract information, such as start and end dates, contract types (e.g., fixed-term or permanent), and other contractual terms. The model allows the enterprise to track contract details in the Employment Terms section, ensuring compliance with local regulations. For example, an employee might have a single assignment as a "Consultant" with multiple fixed-term contracts linked to it, each with distinct terms. This model is ideal for the customer’s requirement to track contract information.
Option C: Multiple assignmentsTheMultiple Assignmentsmodel allows an employee to have one work relationship with multiple assignments, each representing different roles or jobs within the organization (e.g., an employee working as both a "Teacher" and an "Administrator"). While this model supports flexibility in managing multiple roles, Oracle documentation does not indicate that it inherently includes contract information as a mandatory component. Contracts can be associated with assignments in other models (e.g.,Single Assignment with Contract), but theMultiple Assignmentsmodel focuses on assignment multiplicity rather than contract tracking. Since the customer’s requirement emphasizes contract information, this model is not the best fit and is incorrect.
Option D: Multiple contract - Single assignmentThis is a valid employment model and a correct answer. TheMultiple Contract - Single Assignmentmodel is specifically designed for scenarios where an employee has one work relationship, one assignment, and multiple contracts linked to that assignment, with each contract potentially having different terms or conditions. This model is used in countries where regulatory requirements mandate tracking multiple contracts for a single role, such as in cases of temporary or project-based contracts. For example, an employee in a single assignment as a "Developer" might have multiple contracts for different projects, each with unique durations or clauses. This model directly supports the customer’s need to track contract information and is appropriate for the scenario.
Why these two models?BothSingle Assignment with ContractandMultiple Contract - Single Assignmentexplicitly support the tracking of contract information, which is the core requirement of the scenario. TheSingle Assignment with Contractmodel is suitable when an employee typically has one primary contract (or a sequence of contracts) tied to their assignment, while theMultiple Contract - Single Assignmentmodel is used when multiple concurrent or sequential contracts are needed for regulatory compliance. These models allow the customer to capture contract details like type, duration, and terms, ensuring adherence to local laws. The other options (Contract assignmentandMultiple Assignments) do not align with Oracle’s predefined models or the requirement for contract information.

In an organization, a line manager is going on a long vacation and wants all his approvalnotifications to flow to his supervisor for approval in his absence. How can he accomplish this task?
A Vacation rule can be set under the Preferences section of worklist notification's Human Capital Management server.
A system administrator always has to reassign the approval notification to the supervisor in the line manager’s absence.
The application automatically delegates the approval to his supervisor based on the leave applied for by the line manager.
He has to configure new approval routing policies.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
Oracle HCM Cloud’s BPM Worklist allows users to setVacation Rules(also called delegation rules) under the Preferences section of their worklist notifications. The line manager can configure a rule to reroute all approval tasks to his supervisor during a specified period (e.g.,vacation dates). This is user-driven, requires no administrator intervention, and doesn’t alter underlying approval policies.
Option B (admin reassignment) is manual and unnecessary. Option C (automatic delegation) isn’t triggered by leave requests—it requires explicit setup. Option D (new policies) is overkill for a temporary absence. Option A correctly identifies the Vacation Rule as the solution, per Oracle’s workflow features.
Which new field has been added to the Redwood Person Spotlight search and Quick Actions to enhance the person search functionality?
Person Number
Job Title
Department
The RedwoodPerson Spotlightsearch andQuick Actionsin Oracle HCM Cloud enhance user experience by improving person search functionality. The question asks which new field has been added to these features to enhance search capabilities.
Option A: Person NumberThis is the correct answer. Oracle’s 24C release notes specify that thePerson Numberfield has been added to the Redwood Person Spotlight search and Quick Actions. This allows users to search for individuals using their unique person number (e.g., EMP12345), improving precision and speed in locating employee records, especially in large organizations. The addition ofPerson Numberenhances the search functionality by providing a direct identifier, complementing existing fields like name or email.
Option B: Job TitleThis option is incorrect. WhileJob Titleis a searchable attribute in some HCM search contexts, Oracle’s 24C and 25A release notes do not indicate that it was newly added to the Redwood Person Spotlight search or Quick Actions. Job title may already be part of other search criteria, but it is not highlighted as a new enhancement for this feature.
Option C: DepartmentThis option is incorrect.Departmentis a common attribute in HCM searches, but there is no mention in Oracle’s recent documentation of it being added as a new field to the Redwood Person Spotlight search or Quick Actions. The focus of the enhancement is onPerson Numberto improve identification accuracy.
Why this answer?The addition ofPerson Numberto the Redwood Person Spotlight search and Quick Actions directly enhances search precision, as it is a unique identifier for each employee. This aligns with Oracle’s goal of streamlining user interactions in the Redwood interface, makingAthe correct choice.

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)
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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 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
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
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 HRRepresentative 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.
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. ALegal Entityrepresents 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 forwork timings,standard working hours,organization manager, orcost centerdirectly. 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. ABusiness Unitorganizes business functions for transaction processing (e.g., payroll, requisition approvals) and defines scope for data access. Itcaptures attributes like default working hours for payroll purposes, but it does not directly maintainwork timings,organization manager, orcost centeras 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. ADepartmentin Oracle HCM Cloud is an organization type used to represent operational units (e.g., Sales, IT). During setup via theManage Organizationtask, 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, makingCthe correct choice.

Which two options can be directly mapped to the employee record during hiring?
Division
Payroll Statutory Unit
Sub-Division
Legal Employer
Job Family
Business Unit
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
During the hiring process in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, certain workforce structure elements are directly mapped to the employee’s record (via Manage Employment or Hire an Employee).
Option A: Division is not directly mapped; it’s derived via hierarchy (e.g., department).
Option B: PSU is linked to payroll, not directly to the employee record during hiring.
Option C: Sub-Division is not a standard field or object in Oracle HCM.
Option D: Correct. Legal Employer is a mandatory field assigned during hiring, defining the employing entity.
Option E: Job Family is a categorization, not directly mapped to the record.
Option F: Correct. Business Unit can be directly assigned to an assignment during hiring, reflecting operational structure.
The correct answers areDandF, per "Using Global Human Resources" on hiring processes.
As an implementation consultant, you realize during the Requirement Gathering phase of your project that some Actions are not required. How will you make these Actions unavailable for the end user?
Educate users not to use such Actions.
Delete Actions.
Enter Action End Date.
Hide Actions.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, Actions (e.g., Hire, Transfer) are managed via the "Manage Actions" task. To make an Action unavailable, you must ensure it’s not accessible to users without deleting it, preserving data integrity.
Option A: Educating users is not a system-enforced solution and risks accidental use.
Option B: Deleting Actions is not recommended post-implementation, as it can disrupt historical data or references; it’s also not always possible for seeded Actions.
Option C: Correct. Setting an Action End Date (via Manage Actions) marks the Action as inactive from that date onward, preventing users from selecting it in transactions while retaining its history. This is the standard method to disable Actions.
Option D: Hiding Actions via UI tools (e.g., Page Composer) is possible but not a direct Action management feature; it’s less reliable than end-dating.
The correct answer isC, as per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on Action management.
Challenge 6
Manage Document Types
Scenario
The organization would like to track the certifications of all their instructors.
Task
Create a Document Type of certificate for Instructor Certifications, where:
The name of the certificate is X Instructor Certification
Approval is required
The deletion restriction is required
See the solution in Explanation below.
To create a document type for tracking instructor certifications in Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, you need to use theManage Document Typestask within the Setup and Maintenance work area. The task involves creating a document type named "X Instructor Certification" with approval required and deletion restrictions enforced. Below is a step-by-step solution, including detailed explanations and references to Oracle documentation, to accomplish this task.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications
Action: Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications with a user account that has the necessary privileges, such as theHCM Application AdministratororApplicationImplementation Consultantrole. These roles typically include permissions to access the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Explanation: The Setup and Maintenance work area is the central hub for configuration tasks, including managing document types. Proper access ensures you can perform the task without restrictions.
You are an HR specialist and want to add new values to a lookup. You have access to the specific work area, but are unable to perform the activity. Identify the correct statement about this.
You cannot add new lookup codes and meanings to the existing lookup types.
Oracle applications contain certain predefined system lookups that are locked for editing.
You can access the task for profile options from the Setup and Maintenance menu.
You can create new lookup types but cannot modify the existing ones.
The system administrator must enable the lookup before it is modified in the work area.
Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:
In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, lookups are managed via the "Manage Common Lookups" or "Manage Standard Lookups" tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. Lookupsprovide drop-down values (codes and meanings) for fields, and their editability depends on their type and configuration.
Option A: Incorrect. You can add new lookup codes and meanings to many existing lookup types, provided they are not system-locked or restricted by security.
Option B: Correct. Oracle includes predefined system lookups (e.g., seeded values for core fields like Action Types or Employment Status) that are locked for editing to maintain application integrity. If the lookup you’re trying to modify is one of these, you’ll be unable to add values, even with access to the work area, due to system restrictions.
Option C: Incorrect. Profile options are unrelated to lookups; they control application behavior, not value lists, and don’t explain the inability to edit.
Option D: Incorrect. You can modify existing lookup types (if not system-locked) and create new ones, depending on permissions and lookup status.
Option E: Incorrect. There’s no specific "enable" step by a system administrator for lookups; editability is determined by the lookup’s system status and user privileges.
The correct answer isB, as per "Implementing Global Human Resources" on lookup management, where system lookups are noted as non-editable.
