2764909 - Executive Review Export Percentage Column Labels Explained - Compensation

Symptom

  • Why is there a % symbol infront of the standard percentage field column label in the Executive Review Export?
  • Why is there not a % symbol infront of a custom percentage field column label in Executive Review Export?

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Compensation

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Executive Review.
  2. Select your template.
  3. Run the export to CSV/Excel.
  4. Notice that standard percentage fields have a % symbol infront of the column label while custom percentage fields do not have a % symbol infront of the column label.

Cause

  •  SuccessFactors is working as currently designed - Expected behavior

Resolution

  • When we export the Executive Review for a template that has standard percentage fields configured such as compa-ratio/range penetration, the system will add a % infront of their column label in the report.
  • This means that in the worksheet if the field looks like "Compa-Ratio" then in the export it will show as "%Compa-Ratio".
  • The same applies to fields that you select to show percentage such as Merit, Lumpsum and Adjustment. A column called "%Merit" will display in the export for example.

Note: This behavior only applies to standard fields and is purely a visual aid for those working with Executive Review. Custom fields are not affected by this logic and do not take a % symbol infront of their column label as they are not hardcoded into the system.
