Oracle HCM Cloud: Global Human Resources 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 5

A client requires that promotion approvals should go to a static set of three users in a sequential manner, with the approval process continuing to the next user if the prior approver is not available.
What setup is required to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. While configuring Approval Group List Builder, select "Allow empty groups" as True.
• B. All approvers must be present in the system; else, the promotion transaction fails.
• C. While configuring Approval Group List Builder, select "Allow empty groups" as False.
• D. The default functionality is that if any approver is not present, then the transaction gets auto-approved.
• E. Enable a descriptive flex field to capture the approves in the required sequence and create Approval Group List Builder.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because setting 'Allow empty groups' to False ensures that all defined approvers must be present for the approval process to continue, which aligns with the requirement for sequential approvals. Option A is incorrect as it allows for empty groups, contradicting the client's needs. Option B is misleading because it states the transaction fails if any approver is absent, which does not fulfill the sequential requirement. Option D is incorrect as it describes a behavior that does not apply when all approvers must be present. Option E suggests a different method that doesn't directly address the sequential approval requirement.
