1. Configure a rule that updates the values of other fields. In the following example, Work Schedule is used. 
   
   
   
   
2. Add this as an onChange rule to the respective field such as Work Schedule.
3. As a Manager or Admin, go to an Employee's Profile.
4. Using MSS, go to Take Action > Change Job and Compensation Info.
5. Enable Job Information and change a field that has an onChange rule which updates values of other fields.
6. The other fields values are update as per the onChange rule.
   
   
   
   
7. Proxy as the Employee and go to his own Profile.
8. Using ESS, go to Take Action > Change Job and Compensation Info.
9. Enable Job Information and change a field that has an onChange rule which updates values of other fields.
10. The other fields values are not updated as per the onChange rule.
    
    
    
    
11. In the Rule Trace, the onChange rules never run in ESS.

This issue will happen when the following configurations are true:

1. Refresh Compensation Required is set to "Yes" for Work Schedule field.
   
   
2. The Employee does not have access to Compensation Info Edit Link in RBP for ESS.
   
   

When "Refresh Compensation Required" is set to "Yes", the system automatically refreshes Compensation Information fields. Because the Employee does not have access to Compensation Information, the system throws an error in the back-end and the onChange rules do not run as expected.

To resolve this issue, adjust the following configuration:

Option 1: In Manage Business Configuration > jobInfo > workschedule-code, set "Refresh Compensation Required" to "No".

Option 2: Grant the Employee access to Compensation Information Edit Link:

1. Go to a Permission Role that grants access to ESS.
2. Go to Employee Central Effective Dated Entities and scroll to the Compensation Information Section.
3. Enable the Edit Link permissions to at least "Edit".
4. Save the changes.
5. To confirm the permission is granted, using ESS, go to Take Action > Change Job and Compensation Info, Compensation Information checkbox should be displayed.
