2411437 - Sequence of Pay Components in document generated

An employee has multiple paycomponents,

For example, under employment information compensation portlet the payComp are shown in below sequence for this sample employee:

 

 

If we generate a document which has mapping for payComponent, the payComponents shown in document is random and do not follow sequence as maintained in employment information page:

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

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central: Document Generation

Configure Document mapping and generate document. Notice that the sequence of payComponents generated in document is random

Document template mapping:

 

Document template:

As confirmed with Product engineering, this is an expected behavior and we cannot control how the payComponents are put to document every time it is generated

There is no code designed to determine and execute the sequence as per employment information page.

PS: Similarly, for an MDF object having multiple child records on same date, there is no order by clause on the child MDF records, they are fetched in random order.

This is an expected behavior. For any changes, do request for enhancement as mentioned in KBA-2090228

FAQ - Additional Information

Q) Where can I get information on this from the Guide?

A) Guide - Chapter -Non-Recurring Pay Component Imports

 In the Incremental Load mode, if the sequence number field,

• <allow-import>=false: user_id + pay_date + pay_comp_code is the business key.
• <allow-import>=true: user_id + sequence_number (when the sequence number is enabled) is the business key.

A) Guide - Chapter -Non-Recurring Pay Component Data Fields

 This field sequence-number is required for importing data. If you enable this field, the allow import property is defaulted to True.

The non-recurring pay component import is currently supported by Centralized services only if Enable Centralized Services for Non-Recurring Pay Component Information (Applicable only for data imports from UI and API) is enabled on the Company System and Logo Settings page.

NOTE: In Pay component recurring, sequence number appears even if it is not enabled during import.
