2575291 - No Business Goal Headers on visibility page in Variable Pay Configure Label Names and Visibility feature.

Symptom

When you create a Variable Pay Template, with Field Based Permissions enabled, then go to Set Bonus Calculations and choose the option 'Multiple' from the dropdown menu for Number of Business Goals Sections. Then go to Configure Label Names and Visibility page and observe that there is no Business Goal Header.

Reproducing the Issue

Go to:

  1. Admin Centre>
  2. Compensation>

  4. Variable Pay Template>
  5. Plan Setup>
  6. Settings>
  7. Set Bonus Calculation>
  8. Choose Multiple from the dropdown menu for Number of Business Goals Section.

(This means that you will have more than one goal which means you will you have multiple Business Headers.)

   9. Click the Save button that you will find if you scroll to the bottom of the Set Bonus Calculation screen.
