NOTE: The Pension Payouts setting in Provisioning and the Admin Center of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central was deprecated on November 17, 2023. SAP SuccessFactors is removing the Admin Center -> Manage Employee Central Settings -> Pension Payouts setting to deprecate the Pension Payouts feature only for customers who have not yet enabled it before the 2H 2023 release.

However, there is no impact or action required for customers who have enabled the feature. They can continue to use it without any issues. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central will continue to support customers if any issues arise.

How to use the feature?

1. Go to the Employee Profile for whom you want to create Pension Payout > Click on 'Add: Pension Payout Details' is displayed under 'Action'.
2. Enter all the details in screen 'Add Pension Payout Details for XYZ' and click on 'Continue'
   Note: End Date in the screen refers to Planned End Date (Not the Actual End Date)
   
   
3. New Screen will pop-up similar to Global Assignment with sections like Pension Payout Details > Pension Payout Details Information (Sub Sections: Position Info > Organisation Info > Job Info > Time Info > EEO Info) > Relationships > Compensation Information (Sub-Sections: Compensation Info > Compensation > Recurring Payments and Deductions.
   
   Enter all the required details in the respective sections and click on 'Submit' at the bottom of the screen.
4. After clicking on the Submit, you can see the Employee Profile with the profile switch enabled to switch between profiles.
   
   If you swtich to the 'Pension Payout' profile, you will notice the Pension Payout Portlet which we created. (By default Pension Payout will be displayed only in the Pension Payout Profile not in the other Employment Profile).
   
   
5. Scroll to the Job Information section and click on history, you will find only 'Start Pension Payout' record with status as 'Retired' which is as per the standard design logic. End Pension Payout record will be created automatically by system only after capturing the Actual End Date for the employee.
6. To view the Planned End Date and Pension Provider details, scroll to the Pension Payout portlet.
   
   
7. If you want to End the Pension Payout for the Employee, then you need to go to Employee Profile > Action > Manage Global Assignment (Internally we have communicated to the product team for amending this label as 'Manage Pension Payout')
   
   
8. After clicking on Manage Pension Payout, a new screen will pop-up with the End option click on that and then select Event Reason 'End Pension Payout' which was created in the previous steps.
   
   Fill Actual End Date (This will be the effective date of the 'End Pension Payout' record in the Job history) and Payroll End date.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
9. After clicking on Save in Manage Pension Payout screen, you will see End Pension Payout Record created in the Employee Job history and Pension Payout Portlet.
   
   
   
   

Note: Please note that if a Pension Payout with start date in the future needs to be ended before it begins, the start date must be made effective from 'today' or a previous date. If you attempt to End a Pension Payout before it starts, the profile its attached to will have no active employment data and thus an application error will be encountered.

If being able to do this is a business requirement, then please open an enhancement request via 'Idea Exchange'. For assistance in submitting the request please see: 2090228
