What Is the SAP SuccessFactors Platform Reporting Certification (C_THR92)?

The SAP Certified - SAP SuccessFactors Platform: Reporting (C_THR92) is an entry-level associate certification that validates your fundamental knowledge and practical skills in SAP SuccessFactors reporting tools.

Here's the deal:

This isn't just another theoretical exam. It's a scenario-based, activity-driven assessment that tests your ability to configure and implement reporting solutions in real-world situations.

Key Certification Details:

Who Should Take This Exam?

This certification is specifically designed for SAP partner consultants implementing SuccessFactors reporting solutions.

Here's the kicker:

Only registered SAP partner consultants receive provisioning rights after certification. Customers and independent consultants can earn the certification but won't get provisioning access - there are no exceptions.

1. Master the Query Designer in Story Reports

This is the heart of Story Reports. Practice:

• Creating complex joins
• Building calculated measures
• Using filters and input controls
• Troubleshooting missing data

2. Understand Permission Structures Inside-Out

Many exam scenarios test your ability to:

• Set up RBP roles correctly
• Configure report-level permissions
• Define target populations
• Troubleshoot access issues

3. Know When to Use Each Report Type

Use Story Reports when:

• Users need interactive filtering
• Complex data visualization required
• Multiple data sources needed

Use Table Reports when:

• Simple, structured output needed
• Exporting to Excel is primary use case
• Users prefer traditional grid layout

Use Canvas Reports when:

• Executive dashboards required
• Drag-and-drop interface preferred
• Pre-built templates work for use case

4. Practice Troubleshooting Common Issues

The exam may include troubleshooting tasks:

• Reports showing no data
• Permission errors
• Incorrect calculations
• Missing fields in query designer

5. Memorize Key Configuration Paths

Know exactly where to find:

• Report Center settings
• Permission configurations
• MDF object definitions
• Dashboard framework settings

6. Review SAP Community Resources

Before the exam, check:

• SAP SuccessFactors Community forums
• Release notes for latest features
• Known issues and workarounds
• Best practice guides

7. Take Strategic Breaks During the 24-Hour Window

Don't try to power through without breaks:

• Work in focused 90-minute sessions
• Take 15-minute breaks to clear your mind
• Sleep at least 6 hours during the window
• Review your work with fresh eyes before submitting

After You Pass: Maintaining Your Certification

Congratulations on earning your certification! But here's something critical:

Your certification expires after 12 months.

To maintain certified status:

✅ Complete the renewal assessment before expiration
✅ SAP sends personalized notifications as expiry approaches
✅ Successfully passing extends certification for another 12 months
✅ Keep current with new platform features and updates

Why the 12-Month Validity?

SAP SuccessFactors releases major updates twice yearly (1H and 2H releases). The annual renewal ensures certified consultants:

• Stay current with new reporting features
• Understand updated best practices
• Maintain implementation quality standards

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Skipping THR80 Foundation Course

Some candidates jump straight to THR92 reporting content. Don't do this.

You need solid understanding of:

• Platform architecture
• MDF framework
• Permission structures
• People Profile configuration

Mistake #2: Only Watching Videos Without Practice

The learning journey includes videos and documentation. Watching isn't enough.

You must:

• Follow along in your own sandbox
• Recreate examples independently
• Break things and fix them
• Build reports from memory

Mistake #3: Underestimating the 60% Pass Mark

60% might sound easy, but remember:

This is a scenario-based, activity-driven exam - not multiple choice. Every configuration mistake affects your score.

Aim for 80%+ mastery during preparation to comfortably clear the 60% threshold.

Mistake #4: Not Reading Requirements Carefully

Exam scenarios include specific business requirements:

• Report should show "terminated employees from last 6 months"
• Only HR managers should have access
• Data should refresh daily

Missing one requirement = points lost. Read everything twice.

Mistake #5: Forgetting to Test Your Solution

Always test your configurations:

• Log in as different user roles
• Verify data accuracy
• Check filters work correctly
• Ensure permissions function as required
