According to the Assigning Resource Roles document, you define ‘Roles’ requested via resource plans under resource roles in the Resource Management application. Resource roles are the roles that users can request or allocate for resource plans. The other options are not correct, as they are not the places where you define ‘Roles’ requested via resource plans. The system roles are the roles that grant access to various applications and modules in the system. The roles under system security are the roles that control the security settings and permissions for the system. The skill management modules are the modules that manage the skills and skill levels of users and groups.

According to the Using rate types and labor rate cards document, a user can choose from multiple rate types for their work, while logging a time card, only if the capability is enabled in the Time Sheet Policies. This capability allows users to select different rate types for different tasks, such as standard, overtime, or travel. The other options are not correct, as they are not the places where the capability can be enabled. The Project Record is used to create and update project details, such as name, description, and state. The Project Preferences are used to set the default values for project fields, such as number, type, and priority. The option C is not correct, as more than one rate type can apply if the capability is enabled.

According to the Project Expense Lines document, a project expense line is cost associated with a specific source, such as fixed assets, resource, or software. The program field on the project expense line form is not a source of cost, but a reference to the program that the project belongs to. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Program. The other options are not correct, as they are sources of cost for a project expense line.

 According to the Create a customer project from a demand document, when creating a project from demand, the resource plan and the cost plan are moved and copied upon project creation. The resource plan defines the resources required for the project, and the cost plan defines the estimated and actual costs for the project. The other options are not correct, as they are not related records that are moved and copied upon project creation. The change requests, the idea, and the demand are not moved or copied to the project, but they are linked to the project as references. The assessment is not a record that is associated with the project, but with the demand.

According to the ServiceNow documentation1, a demand manager can view and edit the following artifacts from a demand:

Decision: A decision that affects the demand or its outcome2.

Risk: A risk that could impact the demand or its outcome3.

Requirement: A requirement that defines the scope or functionality of the demand4.

The other options are not artifacts of a demand, but rather related entities that can be created from a demand or linked to a demand.

Cost Plans and Monetary Benefit Plans are the related lists that should primarily be used to capture financial data in a project. Cost Plans allow you to define the expected costs of a project over time, based on the planned and actual work, resources, and expenses. Monetary Benefit Plans allow you to define the expected financial benefits of a project over time, based on the estimated and realized value, revenue, and savings. You can find more information about these related lists in the Product Documentation for ServiceNow.

Using the Request type field on a resource plan, you can request a resource by specifying the amount of FTE, person days, or hours that you need for a task or a project. FTE stands for full-time equivalent and represents the percentage of a standard work week that a resource can perform. Person days are the number of days that a resource works on a task or a project. Hours are the number of hours that a resource works on a task or a project. You can find more information about the Request type field in the Product Documentation for ServiceNow.

According to the ServiceNow documentation1, this property controls whether the cost roll-ups are performed when a sub-project and parent project have different project currencies. If this property is set to true, then the system converts the sub-project currency to the parent project currency using the exchange rate table and performs the cost roll-ups. If this property is set to false, then the system does not perform the cost roll-ups for sub-projects with different currencies.
