2195154 - Variable Pay: Read-only field Amt is editable even if defined as read-only

Symptom

Field Amt can be edited, even after defining it as read-only.

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

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Compensation

Reproducing the Issue

You are able to enter a value in Amt (goalResultsPayoutAmountTotal) field for employee which is Read-only:

It should not be possible since field is configured as read-only:

Cause

This is working as expected.

The feature is to provide the ability to either edit in % or in amt. So right now, if %age is configured as editable, the amt will become editable.

As shown in the screenshot the %age is set to Read-only is No:

Resolution

If you really want it to be read-only, a possible workaround would be:

  1. Create a read-only custom field pointing to the amt column
  2. Hide Amt column in form
