Launch a worksheet and you will see any rating which should be "Too new to rate" are displayed as -1971.

Within Variable Pay this can potentially cause issues with the individual pay-out percent calculation.

This is following a product enhancement in 2018 as well as the PM V12 upgrade.

With Variable Pay the issue can be coming from the indivdual section forms and their ratings.

In 2018 the "Too new to rate" value stored will be -1971 and "unrated" will be stored as 0. This was introduced in 2018.

A work around to any potential calculation issues would be to create a custom column at assignment level and another at entry level.

For example, a formula to capture any -1971 values and convert them to 0 so the individual rating at entry level calculates correctly.

if(individualRating=-1971,0,individualRating)

There is an option to hide Too new to rate options via advaned settings in all templates.
