About the SuccessFactors Time Management (C_THR94) certification
C_THR94 is SAP’s associate-level credential for implementing and configuring SAP SuccessFactors Time Management — the cloud solution for recording absences, time off, and attendance, and valuing that time for payroll. Time Off and the time sheet are part of Employee Central Time Management (included in the Employee Central subscription), while Time Tracking is a separate subscription that extends attendance capabilities for more complex use cases. For how SAP certification exams work generally, see the certification study guides in our Learning Hub.
The concept that anchors the exam is the structural foundation: the Time Profile, Holiday Calendar, and Work Schedule, assigned through the Job Information portlet (where Time Type Profile, Work Schedule, and Holiday Calendar are the mandatory fields). Because the heavy lifting of accruals and valuation is built on the Metadata Framework (MDF), strong MDF business-rule skills are essential. Around this sit Time Types and Time Accounts, accrual rules, the time sheet, time valuation, flextime and clock in/out, and integration with Employee Central Payroll.
Every PowerKram practice question maps to one of the topic areas below and links to the SAP Learning or SAP Help page it derives from, so a weak spot becomes a specific reading step rather than a guess.
C_THR94 topic areas and weights
C_THR94 publishes topic-area weights. Most areas carry roughly equal weight (11–20% each), with Leave of Absence and Time Off Reporting lighter (up to 10%). Plan your study fairly evenly, with extra hands-on time on Time Off basics, accruals, the time sheet, and time valuation. SAP may adjust weighting at any time, so verify before you schedule.
The structural foundation: Time Profile, Holiday Calendar, and Work Schedule; assigning Time Management fields in Job Information; how MDF underpins the time structures; and enabling Time Off in Provisioning and Manage Employee Central Settings.
Defining Time Types for absences (Vacation, Sick Leave, Jury Duty), and building validation and take rules that control how employees request and how the system approves leave.
Time Accounts and Time Account Types, accrual business rules and engines (monthly, annual, per pay period), proration for hires and terminations, and Period End Processing for carry-over and “use it or lose it” policies.
Positive versus negative time recording, duration-based versus clock-based entry, the Time Recording Profile and Admissibility, and the Time Sheet object, fields, and submission rules.
Time valuation rules and types, Time Type Groups (Input, Output, Filtered), overtime, night differentials and holiday premiums, and mapping valuation results to Wage Types for Employee Central Payroll.
Flextime bandwidths and balances/deficits, integrating external or web time clocks, and Time Event Pairing that turns Start/Stop events into time segments (Time Tracking capabilities).
Using Import and Export Data for Time Accounts, postings, and accruals, and the data flow between Time Management and downstream systems including payroll.
Configuring long-term leave of absence, and reporting on time data — for example the Time Account Snapshot report and Advanced/Story reports via Report Center.

Who C_THR94 is for
SAP positions C_THR94 as an entry-level qualification for consultants who implement Time Management, and it targets SAP partner consultants, since only registered partners receive provisioning rights after certifying. The audience:
- SuccessFactors Time Management consultants configuring Time Off, time sheets, accruals, and time valuation for customers under senior guidance.
- Employee Central consultants extending into time, who already know MDF and Job Information and want to own the time structures.
- HRIS and payroll-integration specialists mapping valuation results to Wage Types and replicating time data to Employee Central Payroll.
- Time and attendance analysts supporting shift, flextime, and clock in/out scenarios who want to configure, not just administer.
Time Management sits directly on top of Employee Central Core and feeds payroll, so it pairs closely with Employee Central Payroll and, for on-premise/S/4HANA landscapes, SAP HCM Payroll. For the consultant roles this credential supports, see the functional-consultant career paths in our Career Hub.

Which combination of fields is mandatory in Job Information to implement Time Off for an employee?
- Time Recording Profile, Work Schedule, Holiday Calendar
- Time Type Profile, Work Schedule, Holiday Calendar
- Overtime Compensation Variant, Work Schedule, Holiday Calendar
- Time Recording Admissibility, Work Schedule, Holiday Calendar
Show answer & explanation
Correct: B. To implement Time Off, the mandatory Job Information fields are Time Type Profile, Work Schedule, and Holiday Calendar. These three assign the employee’s time structures and planned working pattern.
Why not the others: Time Recording Profile (A) and Time Recording Admissibility (D) relate to the time sheet, not the mandatory Time Off trio; and an Overtime Compensation Variant (C) is a valuation concept, not a mandatory Time Off field.
Source: SAP Help — Work Schedule & Job Information → Further reading: PowerKram — Employee Central Core →On a Time Account Type, what does choosing “Automatic Accrual Creation” instead of “No Automation” do?
- It deletes existing time accounts
- It disables the work schedule
- It creates the time account change calendars automatically instead of requiring you to create one manually for each accrual run
- It converts the account to a time sheet
Show answer & explanation
Correct: C. The automation field on the Time Account Type determines whether accruals are booked automatically. With No Automation you must create a time account change calendar for each accrual run in Manage Time Off Calendars; Automatic Accrual Creation generates those calendars for you.
Why not the others: it doesn’t delete accounts (A), disable the work schedule (B), or convert anything to a time sheet (D).
Source: SAP Help — Time Account Type →What is the difference between positive and negative time recording?
- Positive recording is only for managers; negative only for employees
- With positive recording employees record all hours worked; with negative recording the system assumes hours worked and employees record only exceptions
- Positive recording disables overtime; negative enables it
- They are the same thing with different names
Show answer & explanation
Correct: B. In positive time recording, employees record all hours actually worked. In negative time recording, the system assumes the planned hours were worked and employees only record exceptions (such as absences or deviations).
Why not the others: the distinction isn’t about role (A) or overtime toggling (C), and the two methods are genuinely different (D).
Source: SAP Help — Employee Time Sheet → Further reading: PowerKram — Employee Central Payroll →Which model options are available when configuring a Work Schedule?
- Positive, Negative, and Neutral
- Input, Output, and Filtered
- Schedule, Period, and Simple
- Start, Stop, and Pair
Show answer & explanation
Correct: C — Schedule, Period, and Simple. The Work Schedule object offers these three models in its Model field, letting you define the planned working pattern in the way that best fits the workforce.
Why not the others: Positive/Negative (A) are time-recording methods; Input/Output/Filtered (B) are Time Type Group types; and Start/Stop/Pair (D) relate to clock in/out event pairing.
Source: SAP Help — Work Schedule models →Which construct is used to categorize hours as Input, Output, or Filtered during time valuation?
- Holiday Calendar
- Time Type Groups
- Work Schedule
- Time Account Type
Show answer & explanation
Correct: B — Time Type Groups. Time valuation uses Time Type Groups — categorized as Input, Output, or Filtered — to collect and transform hours (for example applying overtime, night differentials, or holiday premiums) before mapping results to pay.
Why not the others: the Holiday Calendar (A) and Work Schedule (C) define planned time, and the Time Account Type (D) governs accrual accounts — none categorizes valuation hours.
Source: SAP Help — Time valuation & Time Type Groups → Further reading: PowerKram — SAP HCM Payroll →How are time valuation results made available to Employee Central Payroll?
- By emailing a spreadsheet to payroll
- By posting them to the succession org chart
- By printing a reward statement
- By mapping valuation results to Wage Types
Show answer & explanation
Correct: D. Time valuation results are mapped to Wage Types, which is how the calculated hours (regular, overtime, premiums, and so on) flow into SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll for payment.
Why not the others: the integration is system-to-system, not a spreadsheet email (A); results don’t post to a succession org chart (B); and a reward statement (C) belongs to Compensation.
Source: SAP Help — Valuation to Wage Types → Further reading: PowerKram — Employee Central Payroll →In Clock In Clock Out, what does Time Event Pairing do?
- It pairs Start and Stop events to create time segments
- It pairs two employees for a shift swap
- It merges two time accounts
- It links a holiday calendar to a work schedule
Show answer & explanation
Correct: A. Time Event Pairing takes the raw clock events and pairs each Start with its corresponding Stop to build the worked time segments that valuation then processes.
Why not the others: it doesn’t pair employees for shift swaps (B), merge time accounts (C), or link calendars to schedules (D).
Source: SAP Help — Time Tracking & CICO →Which tool is used to load Time Accounts, postings, and accruals into the system?
- The succession Matrix Grid
- The compensation worksheet
- The Import and Export Data tool
- The career-site builder
Show answer & explanation
Correct: C. The Import and Export Data tool is used to load Time Accounts, postings, and accruals (and other Time objects such as the Time Account Change Calendar), supporting data migration and ongoing maintenance.
Why not the others: the Matrix Grid (A) belongs to Succession, the compensation worksheet (B) to Compensation, and the career-site builder (D) to Recruiting.
Source: SAP Help — Time Accounts & imports → Further reading: PowerKram — SAP Analytics Cloud →A customer wants to stop employees from requesting more vacation than they are entitled to. Which configuration achieves this?
- A validation (take) rule on the absence Time Type
- A new work schedule model
- A wage type mapping
- A tile-based dashboard
Show answer & explanation
Correct: A. Validation (take) rules are business rules that control absence requests — for example preventing an employee from requesting more leave than allowed or during restricted periods — and are attached to the absence Time Type.
Why not the others: a work schedule model (B) defines planned time; a wage type mapping (C) is for valuation-to-payroll; and a tile-based dashboard (D) is a reporting tool.
Source: SAP Help — Absence validation rules →Which statement about Employee Central Time Management and SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking is correct?
- Time Tracking replaces Employee Central entirely
- They are unrelated products
- Time Tracking is included at no cost and Time Off requires a separate subscription
- Time Off and Time Sheet are part of Employee Central Time Management, while Time Tracking is a separate subscription that extends attendance capabilities
Show answer & explanation
Correct: D. Time Off and the time sheet are part of Employee Central Time Management (included in the Employee Central subscription), while SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking is a separate subscription that extends attendance recording for more complex use cases.
Why not the others: Time Tracking doesn’t replace Employee Central (A); the two are closely related, not unrelated (B); and the subscription relationship is the reverse of (C).

Deep dive: C_THR94 scope, the time objects, study path, and recertification
The structural foundation
The concept that unlocks C_THR94 is the object model. The Time Profile, Holiday Calendar, and Work Schedule define an employee’s planned time, assigned through Job Information (where Time Type Profile, Work Schedule, and Holiday Calendar are mandatory). Time Types describe absences and attendances; Time Account Types and Time Accounts hold balances; and posting rules connect them. Because accruals and valuation are built on the Metadata Framework, strong MDF business-rule skills are the real prerequisite. See Employee Central Core →
Time Off, time sheet, and time valuation
Time Off manages absences with accrual rules (monthly, annual, or per pay period), proration, and Period End Processing for carry-over. The time sheet records attendance using positive (record all) or negative (record exceptions) methods, duration- or clock-based. Time valuation then transforms raw hours using Time Type Groups (Input, Output, Filtered) to apply overtime, night differentials, and holiday premiums — the engine that turns hours into pay. See Employee Central Payroll →
Flextime, clock in/out, and integration
Time Tracking adds flextime bandwidths and balances, clock in/out with Time Event Pairing, and richer attendance handling (a separate subscription on top of Employee Central Time Management). Data moves in and out through the Import and Export Data tool, and valuation results map to Wage Types for Employee Central Payroll or replicate to third-party payroll. See SAP HCM Payroll →
Realistic study path
Most candidates work through SAP’s Time Management Academy course, get hands-on in a demo instance building time profiles, work schedules, time types, accrual rules, time sheets, and valuations, then generating time accounts and testing integration. Because so much is MDF-driven, practice writing and debugging business rules for accruals and validations. Read the certification study guides →
Provisioning rights and recertification
Only registered SAP partner consultants receive provisioning rights after certifying; customers do not have Provisioning access, though the credential still validates their knowledge. Certifications are valid for 12 months and renew via the free annual Stay Certified assessment that tracks the latest release — important because Time Management ships frequent cloud updates.
