Symptom
We need to define a pay component with the type of "Number". However, we only have "Amount" or "Percentage" as possible values. The Corporate data model does not show a picklist defined for this field.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Logon to instance
- Go to manage organization, pay & job structures admin tool.
- Select any pay component and go in edit mode.
- Choose the Pay Type drop-down. Only amount and percentage are available.
Cause
- Corporate data model is not implemented to include pay component type = Number.
- Unit of measure, rate and number fields should be defined with visibility="both"in the corporate data model and Metadata Framework (MDF) picklist for unit of measure too.
Resolution
Please reach out to your implementation partner / Professional services team to configure corporate data model as described in below implementation handbook URL:
Implementing and Configuring Employee Payments in Employee Central >Unit of Measure
- Add <unit-of-measure> to the corporate data model, then create objects in Manage Data for your required units of measure.
- Add <rate> and <number> in the Corporate Data Model.
Example:
The Pay Component Type field will now display 'Number' as an option.
Selecting Number displays additional fields for Number, Unit of Measure, and Rate on the UI.
