2084158 - Manage Data - Guidelines - Handling Unrated Ratings - Compensation

Symptom

A form is designed to pull in merit guidelines based on the rating and position in range.

When these are created you may find users with no rating, and they were able to enter an unlimited amount of merit increase and still forward it through the route map because the unrated rating had no guidelines.

How can they set a guideline on the merit field when no rating/unrated rating is present on the form?

This Article describes what to do when a when you need to add a guideline for an unrated rating value.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Compensation

Resolution

  • A company requires a guideline that will include unrated ratings to prevent users from adding merit  increases to these unrated ratings that are beyond a certain range
  • Unrated is treated as a special rating, and different from a 0 rating.
  • As such, there should be a comp-formula for each compensation component that requires guidelines, to handle unrated ratings.
  • The key to this formula is that there are no restrictions on rating (i.e. no comp-formula-rating from or comp-formula-ratingTo).
  • It also should be the last formula for the component, to make sure that the other rules get validated first.

Sample Guideline as it should appear in Admin tools:
