Symptom

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Compensation

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Admin Center > Compensation > Compensation Home

  3. Select Copy existing plan template(s)
  4. Click on the dropdown for Variable Pay Plan - the Variable Pay program is not on the list

Cause

This is caused by the Variable Pay program using Assignment Based Rating, which can be seen by:

  1. Selecting the Variable Pay program on the left-hand tab in Compensation Home
  2. Clicking on Plan Setup > Settings > Set Bonus Calculation
  3. Scroll down to "Individual" > Assignment Based Rating? will have a check mark

Resolution

Please select a Variable Pay program that does not have Assignment Based Rating enabled. If you want to include a plan that currently has Assignment Based Rating enabled to a new Total Compensation plan, then it's best to speak with an Implementation Partner or Professional Services consultant about changing your process from Assignment Based Rating.

Otherwise, if you would like to see Variable Pay programs with Assignment Based Rating become compatible with Total Compensation, then we suggest filing an enhancement request in https://influence.sap.com/SuccessFactorsCompensationVariablePay
