Hi everyone,

I'm practicing on a rented SAP server. I know how to configure Enterprise Structure, but I'm running into an issue because the system already contains existing Company Codes, Plants, Purchasing Orgs, etc.

When I create my own Company Code and start copying/customizing the enterprise structure, I often run into errors. Sometimes I end up accidentally assigning my new Plant to an existing Company Code instead of the one I created.

How do you normally practice creating a complete Enterprise Structure on a rented/shared SAP system? Do you:

Create everything from scratch?

Copy an existing enterprise structure and then rename/change assignments?

Use a specific approach to avoid conflicts with the existing configuration?

I'd like to practice as if I were implementing a new company, but the preconfigured enterprise structure is making it confusing. Any tips or best practices would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I recently attempted the SAP SuccessFactors Learning (THR88) certification in the new scenario-based exam format, and unfortunately, I didn't pass. The passing score is 60%, and I scored 56%.

This was my first-ever SAP certification, and in hindsight, going into a completely new exam format without knowing what to expect probably wasn't the best idea.

What surprised me the most is that I actually felt confident while taking the exam. I have a few months of hands-on experience working in SuccessFactors Learning (LMS), and I spent a lot of time studying. I focused on understanding the concepts instead of memorizing answers, and during the exam, I genuinely felt my responses made sense.

That's why failing came as such a shock.

The biggest problem is that I have no idea what went wrong, so I'm struggling to figure out what I should improve before my next attempt.

I'm wondering things like:

• Were my answers too long or too short?
• Should the responses be very concise and keyword-focused, or more detailed?
• Is the AI looking for specific terminology?
• Does sentence structure or grammar matter a lot?
• Is it enough to explain the concept, or do you have to explicitly mention every relevant configuration step and keyword?

If you've passed the new scenario-based SAP certification, especially SuccessFactors Learning (THR88), I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

• How did you approach the scenario questions?
• What kind of answers did you write?
• Did you keep them short and to the point, or did you elaborate?
• Any tips on how the AI evaluates responses?

I still have 2 attempts left, and I really want to make them count. I've invested a lot of time into preparing for this certification, so any advice would mean a lot.

I can also recall a few of the scenario questions from the exam (without violating SAP's exam policies), and I'd love to discuss the concepts behind them with someone who's already passed.

Thanks in advance! Any guidance is greatly appreciated. 🙏

Hi everyone,

My organization has used SuccessFactors Recruitment Management now for about 10 years - fully embedded into EC, Onboarding etc. However, Recruitment Marketing has never been turned on.

We are turning it on now. And we want to get some advice from existing users.

According to our SAP Success Manager - not many customers are actually using the full capability of the system and I would like to know the reasons behind this.... no one has been willing to have a reference call with us.

My questions:

1. What have been the challenges with adopting the solutions?
2. What pitfalls do we need to watch out for when adopting?
3. Has Advanced Analytics provided the necessary conversion and tracking information to enable ROI analysis on recruitment channels?
4. Do you use it for cold pipelining, if so how? Or lead generation and "silver medalist" management?

Really appreciate any and all insight anyone can provide on this.

Some context:

• We don't have the option to look at any other 3rd party solution - and we are implementing a minimal viable product.
• It sounds like we won't move to SmartRecruiters any time soon.
• This solution will enable our Talent Attraction and Sourcing team - which has only been in place for 2.5 years.

I just wanted to share some good news with the community — I’ve officially completed the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central certification.

What makes this milestone special is that the exam was done under SAP’s new certification model, which is much more practical and hands-on compared to the old multiple-choice format. Instead of just memorizing answers, I had to actually apply configuration and problem-solving skills in real scenarios, which felt much closer to the kind of work we do in real projects.

It was challenging, but also rewarding to see how this new approach validates practical knowledge. I notice how important is to practice using the SAP hands-on practice scenarios, because you do tasks that are similar to the ones in the practice pdf.

If anyone else here is preparing for the new model, I’d be happy to share tips on how I studied and what helped me succeed.
