You launch compensation or variable pay forms.  Some forms will launch for some others won't and you will get an error message "This scheduled job failed to complete. For details, please contact SuccessFactors customer support.

In backend provisioning under manage jobs if you look at this job log you'll see errors like this:

• Compensation
• Variable Pay

The main cause is that if here're too many forms launched in one job and there is no pay guide record, the issue will happen.

I also saw a situation when there was a circular reporting relationship in our data (person A reported to person B who reported back to person A).

This issue should be fixed in b1511.
The workaround is to create a dummy comp_payguide" in Salary Range page, and add one record in it.

1. Go to Compensation Home -> Action for all plans -> Salary Plans -> Salary Range page, create “comp_payguide” like following screenshot.

2. Access to comp_payguide:

3. Import a mock data like one in attachment.
