1Z0-1048-26 practice question 14 of 15

How do you configure a Time Calculation Rule (TCR) formula and template to enable the TCR rule to display process results and a validation message from the same rule?

Answer options

A: Define the TCR formula to call a Time Entry Rule (TER) formula and pass TER formula results to the TCR formula. Define a new TCR template to display the process and message results on the Output train stop. Correct answer

B: Define a TER formula to call a TCR formula within the same TER formula. Define in a new TER template to enable the TER. Use the TER template to pass the process results and message back to a new TCR Template on the Outputs train stop.

C: Define both a new TER and new TCR formula and TCR and TER templates. The TCR template defines the process results, the TER defines the validation message. Assign the TCR and TER using appropriate rule sets and time processing profiles.

D: Define both a new TER and new TCR formula and TCR and TER templates. The TCR template defines a new input parameter to select the TER template, and then defines a TCR rule to display process and message results.

E: Define a new TCR formula that calls a WFM validation utility formula within the TCR formula. Create a new TCR template to process time card results and pass back both TCR results and a validation message to the time card.

Correct Answer:

A. Define the TCR formula to call a Time Entry Rule (TER) formula and pass TER formula results to the TCR formula. Define a new TCR template to display the process and message results on the Output train stop.

Explanation

In Fusion Time & Labor, only Time Entry Rule (TER) formulas can raise validation or warning messages that appear on the time-card UI, whereas Time Calculation Rule (TCR) formulas return calculated time attributes. To surface both kinds of information from one rule, embed (call) a TER formula inside a TCR formula with the Fast Formula SUBFORMULA/RETURN mechanism, pass the TER’s MESSAGECODE and MESSAGETEXT back to the TCR, and expose both the calculation results and the returned message in a custom TCR template. Because the message originates in the TER but is returned through the enclosing TCR, users see a single rule that delivers the process result line and the associated validation message on the Outputs train stop.

Why Incorrect

B – Reverses the allowed call hierarchy; a TER can’t invoke a TCR and still expose calculation results. C – Uses two independent rules; messages are shown by TER, not “from the same rule” as required. D – TCR templates don’t accept a TER template as a selectable parameter; no framework support exists. E – There’s no “WFM validation utility” callable by a TCR; only TER formulas contain the validation API.
