C_HCMP_2311 Practice Exam Questions and Answers

• The retroactive accounting depth of SAP payroll is the earliest date from which the payroll results can be recalculated due to changes in master or time data.
• The retroactive accounting depth is determined by the following settings:
• The system uses the latest of these three settings as the retroactive accounting depth for each personnel number. For example, if the personal retroactive accounting date is 01.01.2024, the payroll control record date is 01.02.2024, and the hiring date is 01.03.2024, then the retroactive accounting depth is 01.03.2024. References =

The personnel calculation rules used in the subschema of XAL9 for factoring and storage are typically designed to handle specific country-related factoring and valuation scenarios. While the exact rules can vary based on the country and the specific requirements of the payroll system, generally, rules like XVAL (for valuation) and XPPF (for partial period factoring) could be involved in such processes1.

Therefore, the correct answers could be:

C.  

D.  

These rules help in calculating the correct pay for periods where employees have variable pay due to factors like absences or changes in work schedule. It’s always best to refer to the specific system documentation or configuration for the precise rules used in a given scenario.

• AP (Paid Absences):Counting classes designated as 'AP' are used to track paid absences. Calculations using these counting classes will affect an employee's payroll.
• AU (Unpaid Absences):Counting classes designated as 'AU' are used to track unpaid absences. Calculations using these counting classes won't generally impact payroll directly but might affect things like entitlements or reporting.

Why the other options are incorrect:

• SA, KA: While 'SA' and 'KA' might be valid counting class types within a specific SAP HCM implementation, they are not standard classifications across all systems

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, the functions that are used to import infotypes data into the current payroll run are WPBP and PIT. The WPBP function is used to transfer master data on the work center and basic pay for the payroll period to the internal table WPBP1. The PIT function is used to import the last previous result for the current period2. References =

• In the payroll period in which the absence begins (B): The system compares the cut-off day with the start date and the end date of an absence record1. If the cut-off day is later than the end date, the system continues with the standard absence valuation process1.
• On the actual dates in each affected payroll period ©: If the cut-off day is earlier than the start date, the system transfers the absence to the corresponding carry-over wage type, which is saved in an internal table for absence valuation in the next payroll period1.
• In the payroll period in which the absence ends (E): If the cut-off day is between the start date and the end date, the system splits the absence into two records: One record is from the start date to the cut-off day, for which the system continues with the standard absence valuation. The other record is from the cut-off day to the original end date, which the system saves in the carryover wage type and will evaluate in the next payroll period1. References =

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, wage type selection rules are built using several elements. These elements are grouped into a rule group, forming different regulations for the selection of time wage types1. Each individual rule within a rule group contains the wage type to be selected1. The selection of a wage type is determined by whether the conditions specified in an individual rule are fulfilled1. Two of these elements are the Processing type and Conditions for the day1. References = 1

Here's a breakdown of why these are applicable to retroactive accounting:

• A.  

  "Forced retro.accounting" data field:This field allows you to manually trigger a retroactive calculation for a specific employee. This is useful in cases where normal retroactive processes might not be sufficient.

• D.  

  Customizing changes:Changes to system configuration data that impact payroll calculations (such as tax tables, deductions, etc.) will trigger retroactive accounting to ensure past payrolls are correctly aligned with the new settings.

Why the other options are incorrect:

• B.  

  Every change to customizing data...:While some changes to customizing data are payroll-relevant, not every single change will necessarily trigger a retroactive calculation.

• C.  

  A change to master data...:A change to master data in the current period won't automatically trigger retroactive accounting. For retroactive calculations, changes to master data in previous periods are typically required.

The correct answers are:

• B.  

  Rule X015

• C.  

  Rule X010

In the standard XT00 subschema, functions and rules are processed in a specific order. Here's why X015 and X010 come before the MOD function:

• Personnel Calculation Rules (PCRs): Generally, PCRs (like X015 and X010) are processed to perform calculations, determine values, and can be used to set up variables for later use by other functions.
• MOD function: The MOD function acts upon calculations or variables established earlier by PCRs. It often deals with things like:

Why the other options are less likely:

• GENPS: This function is typically used much earlier in the subschema during payroll initialization, not directly before the MOD function.
• AVERA: This function focuses on average calculations and is often processed later, potentially after the MOD function.

Note:The exact order of functions and PCRs within subschemas can be customized to a degree, so this explanation is based on common SAP HCM practices.
