2714879 - Variable Pay - Allow "teamSectionAmount" & "individualSectionAmount" while using ABR

Symptom

  • When using an ABR (Assignment Based Ratings) enabled template for Variable Pay you are not able to see correct values within totalIndividualCalcAmounttotalTeamCalcAmount.
  • Using a non-ABR Variable Pay template the values will show correctly at Entry level.
  • The value can be seen at entry level will be the total amount within the first assignment/bonus plan, rather than all section assignments/bonus plans.

Environment

SuccessFactors Variable Pay

Cause

This is by design and there is a difference between values when using an ABR plan to a non-ABR plan within Set Bonus Calculation.

non-ABR Plan

  • In A non-ABR plan, Ind Calc Amount=Individual Section Amount=Target Amount*Section Weight (Amt=Ind Calc Amount*Individual Percent)

ABR Plan

  • Within an ABR plan, Ind Calc Amount=sum (Individual section pay-out amount of each assignment) (Amt=Ind Calc Amount*100%=Ind Calc Amount)

Resolution

For this to show a number of custom columns will need to be created within the following locations of the worksheet

  • Entry Level
  • Assignment Level
  • Team/Individual Section Level

The setup of column(s) will need to be as follows. This example is based on calculating the Team and Individual section amounts.

  • First create a custom column within either Team section for teamSectionAmount or Individual section for individualSectionAmount.
  • Ensure these column types are MONEY and you also select Calculate Total.
  • The formula within these columns would be to take the section amount values.

Individual Column - Individual Section

Team Column - Team Section

  • Next, we need to create a custom column(s) within the Assignment section.
  • Here the custom column needs to be a MONEY type which will aggregate the custom column you have created within the Team/Individual sections.

  • The last column(s) which need to be created will be within the ENTRY level of design worksheet.
  • The custom column(s) here will be to aggregate the assignment level column(s).

Individual Column - Entry Level

  • After the column(s) have been created launch a new worksheet after running bonus calculation again.
  • The following screen where example of how this appears for an employee with one assignment/bonus plan.

  • The following example is how this appears in worksheets for employees with two assignments/bonus plans.

At Entry level we see the custom columns created are pulling in the correct values once they have been added up in each section.
