2138804 - Configuring the Compensation Number Format Defined in the Options Menu

It is possible to select different number formats to display compensation data according to country or language requirements, but there is a necessary configuration at template level to make it work correctly.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• SAP SuccessFactors Compensation
• SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay

There are 4 different format options available under Options Menu > Compensation Number Format:

These options can replace commas by points or spaces according to preferences, but it is necessary to define a number format in the template containing commas, points or spaces to make this configuration work.

• For example, if a Compensation or Variable Pay template is defining a Default Money Format ###0,## where there is no separation between thousands and hundreds, the Number Format defined in Options will not apply, as there is no value that the system can modify.
• On the other hand, if the Default Money Format is #,##0.## the system can modify the comma for a space or a point and the point for a comma or a space as there is a value to modify.

• To modify the number formats in Compensation it is necessary to do it at template level via XML
