Free Practice Questions for SAP C_THR86_2505 Exam

When planners need to provide a reason for not awarding a merit increase, this can be enforced through standard validation rules.

Setting a Force Comment Rule with "No-Raise" Mode

In SuccessFactors Compensation, under the Define Standard Validation Rules section, you can set a Force Comment Rule with the mode set to “no-raise.” This triggers a required comment whenever a planner decides not to give a merit increase.

This is a straightforward way to enforce explanations for no-raise situations, leveraging standard settings.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option B is incorrect because custom validation formulas are not necessary for this type of forced comment.

Option C (comp-force-comment-config tag with mode “guideline”) is unrelated to no-raise situations.

Option D (setting mode to "raise") is incorrect as this would trigger comments for raises, not for when no raise is given.

In SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, when a field requires planners to select from a pre-defined list of reasons (enumerated values) for categorizing lump sum reasons, it’s essential to set up an editable string field with enumerated values.

Configuring an Editable Field with Enumerated Values

Enumerated values allow you to create a drop-down list of predefined options that planners can select from, ensuring standardized data entry.

The field should be configured as editable so that planners can choose from the list on the worksheet, providing clear reasoning for each lump sum entry.

Why Option C is CorrectThis option provides a list (enumeration) that is required to capture structured data for reporting and analysis purposes. It also enables consistent categorization by offering selectable reasons, reducing manual data entry errors.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option A and D (read-only fields) do not allow planner input and therefore cannot be used for selections.

Option B (editable string without enumerated values) would allow free text, which doesn’t ensure consistent categorization.

Field-based permissions allow specific control over who can view or edit fields in the compensation worksheet.

Restricting Access to Lump Sum Field with Field-Based Permissions

Option C: In SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, you can configure field-based permissions so only selected users (e.g., members of the reward team) can access and edit the Lump Sum field.

This approach uses a permission group to grant edit permissions only to specific individuals, ensuring that only authorized personnel can make entries in the Lump Sum field.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option A (mass actions via Executive Review) does not restrict individual access to fields.

Option B (setting guidelines to zero) does not provide role-based access restriction and may cause confusion in the compensation planning process.

Option D (setting the field to read-only) would prevent all planners from editing, not just those outside the reward team.
