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.
