What statement about business processes is true?

  1. You can add any action step to any business process.
  2. You can add any type of condition rules to any step.
  3. You can set any step of a business process as completion.
  4. You can create business process definitions based on rules.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

In Workday, a Business Process (BP) defines how specific business events are executed within the system. The true statement among the options is that you can create business process definitions based on rules. Workday allows you to maintain rule-based BP definitions, meaning that a single BP can have multiple versions triggered under different conditions (for example, based on supervisory organization, company, location, or job profile).

This functionality enhances configuration flexibility by allowing organizations to adapt process flow depending on contextual attributes -- without duplicating processes. Each version operates under a defined condition rule, evaluated at runtime to determine which BP definition applies.

Options A, B, and C are incorrect:

A is false because not every action step can be added to every process -- the available step types depend on the BP template (for example, Hire, Change Job, or Request Compensation Change).

B is false since condition rules can only be applied to specific steps where the system allows configuration (for instance, approvals and to-dos).

C is false because only a designated Completion Step marks the end of the process, and it cannot be assigned arbitrarily to any step.

What is the step in a business process that allows users to edit and approve the information submitted by the initiator of the business process?

  1. Review step
  2. Consolidated Approval step
  3. Approval step
  4. Integration step

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In Workday, the Review Step within a business process is specifically designed to enable a user to review, edit, and approve information that was submitted by the initiator. This step allows designated participants to view the transaction details, make permissible edits, and approve or send it back for correction. It serves as an intermediate checkpoint before final approval or completion, ensuring data accuracy and compliance with policy.

By contrast, the Approval Step (Option C) only permits approval or denial -- it does not allow data modification. The Consolidated Approval Step (Option B) groups multiple approval steps for simplification but also lacks edit functionality. The Integration Step (Option D) is used for system integrations and automated data transfers, not for user data review.

Thus, the Review Step uniquely provides both review and edit capabilities, which makes it ideal for validating and refining information early in the process lifecycle.

Which tasks can be executed from a business process step to create a new condition rule? (Select two correct answers.)

  1. Maintain Advanced Routing Restrictions
  2. Maintain Step Delay
  3. Create Condition Rule
  4. Maintain Step Conditions

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

In Workday, condition rules determine whether a step executes, routes, or triggers based on defined criteria such as job attributes, location, or organization. There are two primary ways to create or associate condition rules directly from a business process step:

Create Condition Rule (Option C) ­ allows a user to define a new condition rule directly from within the step configuration screen. This opens the condition rule editor where criteria can be defined using Workday attributes.

Maintain Step Conditions (Option D) ­ provides the option to assign existing condition rules or create new ones for the selected step. This is often used to ensure that certain steps run only when specific business conditions are met.

Options A and B are incorrect:

Maintain Advanced Routing Restrictions (A) is related to security routing and worktag-based participant logic, not condition rule creation.

Maintain Step Delay (B) controls timing (delaying execution by hours or days), unrelated to conditions.

In what step type can you add a validation condition rule?

  1. Integration step
  2. Approval step
  3. Service step
  4. Initiation step

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

As per the Workday Module 2 Binder:

"Validation condition rules are used in approval steps to determine whether the step should occur or be skipped based on specific conditions."

­ Workday Module 2 Binder, Business Processes Section

Situation: In a business process in Workday, organizations want certain steps (like approvals) to occur only if specific conditions are met--for example, skipping approval if the amount is under a certain threshold.

Task: Implement logic that dynamically controls the flow of a business process based on conditions.

Action: You apply a validation condition rule within an approval step. This rule evaluates defined criteria and determines if the step should be executed or bypassed.

Result: This enhances automation, improves efficiency, and reduces manual intervention in workflow execution.

Hence, approval steps are the specific step type in which validation condition rules can be added.



You are updating a business process and need to exclude the initiator from completing a step.
What task do you use?

  1. Maintain Step Conditions
  2. Maintain Step Help-Text
  3. Maintain Advanced Routing
  4. Maintain Step Delay

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When configuring a business process, if the requirement is to exclude the initiator from completing a step, the correct configuration point is within Maintain Advanced Routing. This task allows administrators to control and customize routing restrictions and participant logic for each step.

Using the Maintain Advanced Routing task, you can define whether the initiator should be included or excluded as a potential assignee for the step. This ensures segregation of duties and compliance -- for example, preventing an employee who initiated a Change Job event from approving or reviewing their own transaction.

Options A, B, and D are incorrect:

Maintain Step Conditions (A) is used to apply condition rules to control whether a step executes but not who performs it.

Maintain Step Help-Text (B) is used only to provide user instructions within the BP interface.

Maintain Step Delay (D) controls timing between steps, not participant assignment.
