Symptom

Why is the Compensation Number Format not being respected in Compensation Information or Pay Component Recurring and Non Recurring?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Compensation Information

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Settings > Compensation Number Format.
  2. Change the Setting to "1,234,567.89" and click Switch.
  3. Go to Change Language.
  4. Select Spanish and save the changes.
  5. Go to any employee's Profile and navigate to Compensation Information Portlet.

Cause

As mentioned in the Compensation Number Format page, the format setting is only supported by Compensation and Variable Pay Modules. It is not used in Employee Central.

Resolution

The Amounts in Employee Central is formatted as per the User's Locale. For example, in Spanish, the format used is 1.234.567,89 hence this would be the format if the Locale is set to Spanish.
