2299899 - New Pay Component not shown in Pay Component drop down list

Symptom

After adding a new Pay Component to the system via the Admin Center, the administrator finds that the newly added Pay Component does not appear in the Pay Component dropdown list when editing the employee's compensation record.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
  • SAP SuccessFactors HCM

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Add a new Pay Component to the system via the Admin Center.
  2. Attempt to use it when editing an employee's compensation record by adding the newly added Pay Component through the 'Take Action' button or by selecting 'Insert New Record.'
  3. The administrator should find that the new Pay Component does not appear in the Pay Component dropdown list.

Cause

The new Pay Component does not appear in the Pay Component dropdown list because the RBP permission group associated with the administrator lacks 'view' or 'edit' rights for the new Pay Component in the permission role.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, you should edit each RBP permission role to grant users or groups the 'view' and/or 'edit' rights for the new Pay Component by ensuring the appropriate permission checkboxes are selected.

Steps:

  1. Go to Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles.
  2. Locate and open the appropriate permission role for the user(s) [e.g., Super Admin].
  3. Click the “Permissions” button.
  4. Click “Employee Data.”
  5. Scroll down to the “Pay Components” section and find the new Pay Component you created.
  6. Check the “view” and/or “edit” checkboxes as appropriate for the role and click “Save.”
  7. Go to the employee record, open the Pay Component section, and edit the record by selecting "Insert New Record" or using "Take Action" to add the new Pay Component to the compensation record. You will now see the newly added Pay Component in the dropdown list.
