Symptom
Customer configured the Number Format of a 'percent' type field (e.g. Individual Percent) to display 4 decimals - if any.
However, after saving the Variable Pay form, it displays only 2 decimals.
Environment
SuccessFactors Business Execution Suite - Compensation & Variable Pay
Cause
This is the expected behavior.
Individual Percent = 0.3333% = 0.003333. So its real value is 0.003333 (6 decimals), but it will be formatted with 4 decimals as 0.0033 (0.33%).
Resolution
The real value is 0.003333 (6 decimals), so you need to change the Number Format to 6 decimals as well (e.g. #,##0.00####).
Then the Variable Pay form will save the value with 4 decimals - as expected.
