Environment

  •  SAP SuccessFactors Variale Pay

Cause

This issue is caused by a background element being disabled which is linked to your Variable Pay plan.

Resolution

In the below example I have varPayEmpHistDataECTraining background element disabled within Admin Center> Company Settings> Manage Business Configuration.

In order to correct this you can do one of the following:

  1. Use an active background element and import employee data again. This will override the existing records and will allow you to access the history.
  2. Enable the disabled background element within Business Configuration which will allow you to access the history.

In order to establish which element is linked to the problem plan please download the template xml and check the following.

With this you can then check Business Configuration and see the elements is status.

This needs to be checked within the xml as the element will not appear in the UI once disabled.
