3450661 - Data is wiped off for all employees for Custom field under Compensation portlet

• Data is wiped off for all employees for custom field under Compensation portlet, which customer was using to calculate Annual Salary.
• OnInit Rule created / modified via import is not working as expected.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

• There is a restriction on the UI in system since Q4 2019 release that prevents such rule via UI however, this restriction is not present when creating rule via Import.
• There are not guardrails available to prevent creation of such rules via import.
• It is discouraged to create or change a rule configuration via import. The import should only be used to distribute a rule which was configured in one system via the “Configure Business Rules” UI to other systems.

• It is not possible to select a 1:n association in a lookup condition. If the system is facing this issue then the rule was created before this change (2019).
• You can change the rule configuration like following to prevent the error from happening.
  • In the rule create a variable like: var_currency = Compensation Information.Compensation [0].currency
• Then this variable must be used on the right side of the conditions in both lookups on the currency. Instead of using the property path directly:
  • lookup Currency 
  • select Currency Code
  • where Currency Code is equal to Compensation Information.Compensation [0].currency
• Use the variable for the property path in the lookup condition:
  
  • lookup Currency
  • select Currency Code
  • where Currency Code is equal to var_currency
