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

Environment

  • SuccessFactors Compensation 

Resolution

The error is located on the "Used for Comp Planning" field within the Pay Components we are trying to publish, as more than one Pay Components have been defined as "Comp" or "Both".

Only one Pay Component can be assigned with this value or publishing from Compensation to Employee Central will result in errors.

This can be checked by going into "Manage Organization, Pay and Job Structures" from Admin Center> Employee Files.

 

used for comp planning

If this is logged to support the error can be located within the logs by checking for EMPFILE_HRIS_ALREADY_USED_FOR_COMP_PLANNING
