3463188 - OData/CE API retrieving Pay Components that weren't created/modified

The OData/CE API is currently retrieving Pay Components that were not originally created or modified.

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

This an expected behavior of EC Data Maintenance and OData/CE API is only retrieving it.

Explanation:

There is a parent-child relationship between Compensation Information entity (compensation_information/EmpCompensation) and Pay Component Recurring entity (paycompensation_recurring/EmpPayCompRecurring).

This means all Compensation Information records (parent) and Pay Component Recurring records (child) need to be aligned in terms of effective dated segments/time-slices. 

So if a new Compensation Information record is created/modified, all Pay Component Recurring records associated with it are also delimited/modified to align with it.
