Symptom

This KBA outlines how it is possible to pull additional Goal information from Performance forms when using an ABR Variable Pay template.

**Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental**

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Variable Pay

Resolution

First, ensure the plan is enabled with ABR and you are mapping in Goals from your Performance forms.

Save these changes and ensure bonus calculation has been ran if making changes on this page.

The following columns can be mapped and pulled into either Team/Individual Detail sections from Goals in Performance forms.

  • OBJECTIVE_ID
  • OBJECTIVE_TYPE
  • OBJECTIVE_NAME
  • OBJECTIVE_DUE_DATE
  • OBJECTIVE_STATUS
  • OBJECTIVE_CATEGORY
  • OBJECTIVE_PERCENT
  • OBJECTIVE_ACHIEVEMENT
  • OBJECTIVE_RATING

Note
These columns will only work should you have these columns also available from your Objective Plans in Goal Management. If they're not there, nothing will be pulled.
This can be done via Admin Center> Goal Management> Manage Templates and select your Goal plan to edit and add columns.

From Plan Setup> Column Designer select "Individual Detail" and add custom column.

Select the Import Source to be Objective and define the import key to be one of the fields in the above list.
