3 key configuration setups to master in Variable Pay

Variable Pay is a highly complex module of SuccessFactors.

It can do a lot but can also take a very long time to configure and fine-tune if we don’t know how to navigate its sometimes choppy waters.

In this post I will show in 3 recordings how to master some key configuration setups to be more efficient when configuring or administrating Variable Pay.

 

  • #1 – Save time when running the “Import Employee History from Employee Central” job by using the Global Eligibility Rule for EC records (also called Records Filtering rule).

 

 

  • #2 – Know how to control the number of records that show in employee history by using the Merge criteria in the varPayEmpHist background element.

 

 

  • #3 – Control Assignment Details fields visibility with assignment level custom fields.

For this #3, please find below the xml with the specific tags from the example in the recording in bold (to facilitate copy pastes) :

<comp-field-definition id="customAssignmentLevelCountry" isCustomField="true" isVisible="true" type="string" useFor="varpay" level="assignment" importKey="country" importSrc="DM" readOnly="true" hidePercentage="false" hideAmount="false" percentageReadOnly="false" reloadable="false" displayOrder="1" reportable="true">
<comp-field-label><![CDATA[CountryAAA]]></comp-field-label>
</comp-field-definition>

      Very helpful blog Xavier. Appreciate your contribution!

      With regards to Variable Pay Invidivual View, I understand that it is not enabled for Total Compensation yet. I am not sure why there is even a provision to configure it in the template if it does not work.

      Any ideas as to when this would be enabled for Total Comp?
