Symptom
The system is not getting the correct event reason when change compensation information.
You have noticed that this is happening because the system is always considering that the salary of the employee is changing due the round that the system performs in the amount of the pay component.
Environment
- SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
- Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Employee Compensation portlet
- Insert record
- Enter Event "Data change" and event reason "data change" any field and save. If you are using an event reason derivation rule the same behavior will be replicated.
- The system will not get the correct event reason
Cause
The system have a business rule that is comparing the "AnnualizedSalary.PreviousValue" with current.
For example, the real Annualized Salary is '174961.02000000002', when the event-reason derivation Business rule is Triggered the system is rounding the Annualized Salary to '174961.02', therefore the business rule considers that the value (174961.02000000002) is different than the previous value (174961.02) hence this rule is triggered.
Resolution
This is an expected behavior, the system is rounding the annualized salary. To avoid this behavior you should use the Round() function in your rule.
Note: The precision and Threshold will depend on your system round configuration, so please refer to the Business Rule Implementation guide to get the full instructions on how to use the Round() function.
