Oracle Absence Management Cloud 2025 Implementation Professional—Delta Advanced Practice Exam: Hard Questions 2025

After enabling new Absence Management capabilities in a test pod, an implementation team receives complaints that accrual balances differ between the Absence Balance UI and a BI report built on subject areas. The UI reflects same-day recalculation after an admin updates an accrual formula, but the report continues to show the prior result for many employees until the next scheduled process run. Which design choice best aligns reporting behavior with the UI while minimizing performance impact?

A global organization introduces a new absence entry experience that supports richer validations. They configure an advanced validation rule: prevent entering Sick leave if an employee has an approved Vacation spanning any overlapping dates. During UAT, users report intermittent failures where overlapping is allowed when the Vacation approval occurs minutes before the Sick submission. No custom code is used. Which troubleshooting approach is most appropriate?

An organization uses absence donations and wants a streamlined administrator experience. They enable a new administrative page to approve donations and immediately recalculate recipient balances. In testing, administrators can approve donations, but recipient balances sometimes do not reflect the donation until the next night. The approvals are successful and visible. Which configuration is the most likely cause?

You need to design an accrual plan for a union population with these rules: (1) employees accrue monthly; (2) accrual rate changes based on completed service years; (3) if an employee changes grade mid-month, the accrual for that month must be prorated by days in grade; (4) the plan must support retroactive changes with auditable recalculation. Which approach best meets the requirements while keeping configuration maintainable?

A company has two plans: Vacation (accrual) and Unpaid Leave (non-accrual). Requirement: when Vacation balance is insufficient for a requested absence, the system should automatically split the request so that available hours are taken from Vacation and the remainder is taken from Unpaid Leave—without user re-entry and with correct approvals. What is the best configuration strategy?

You are implementing a carryover rule: at year end, employees can carry over up to 40 hours, but only if they have at least 80 hours accrued during the year (not including carry-in). Additionally, if an employee terminates in the last month of the year, the carryover eligibility must be evaluated as of termination date, not year end. What is the most robust way to implement this?

An enterprise uses a third-party scheduling system. Approved absences must be sent outbound near real time, but only after final approval, and cancellations must be sent as reversal messages. They also need to reconcile missed events by re-sending a bounded date range nightly. Which integration pattern best satisfies all requirements with minimal duplication and strong recoverability?

A BI team reports that an absence analytics dashboard intermittently shows duplicate rows for the same absence, leading to inflated totals. Investigation shows duplicates occur primarily when a single absence request is corrected multiple times (edit/withdraw/resubmit). What is the most likely root cause and the best corrective action?

You must enforce separation of duties: Absence administrators can configure plans and view balances, but must not view medical-related absence reasons/attachments. Managers should see only what is necessary to approve, and a specialized HR role should have full detail access. Which security design best meets this requirement?

After go-live, a subset of employees cannot see a newly introduced absence type, but they are enrolled in the associated plan and have the correct job role. The absence type should be visible only to employees in a specific legal employer and only when they are in a particular assignment status. What is the most efficient troubleshooting sequence to identify the cause?
