2084135 - Managing Data, Custom Calculations / Formulas and Functions - CMP & VRP

This KB article provides detailed information for users attempting to build their own calculations within Compensation & Variable Pay.

Note:

• Support is typically unable to troubleshoot any custom calculations (formula) when these are either broken or you are unable to create a valid calculation.
• Calculations are by nature complex and unique to your plan and should be developed with assistance from a paid partner or professional services engagement.
• If you do encounter calculation issues with custom formulas etc we would recommend the formula to be broken down. This will identify the potential problem.

Important:

• When creating formulas please note it is NOT recommended to have more than 10-15 conditions when using the IF, THEN or ELSE syntax.
• If this is something you are looking to implemement we suggest using a lookup table.
• Attached to this KB article is an example of a custom formula using the IF syntax, which is not recommended.
