3504067 - Wrong Pay Grade is being assigned via business rule - Employee Central

Symptom

In Job Information (whether MSS, History or Hire screens), when a Position is newly selected, the wrong Pay Grade is being assigned via business rule. 

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Configure an onChange business rule to assign Pay Grade when Position is changed in Job Information;
  2. Select any position either via MSS, History or Hire screens;
  3. Observe the wrong Pay Grade has been assigned. 

Cause

Business rule is evaluating different conditions and assigning Pay Grade and multiple fields in one go.

During model rule execution, all the field changes are only applied to the Job Info record after the rule has finished executing. During its execution, a SET command is unaware of the changes that previous SET commands made in the same rule made.

Resolution

The business rule should be split to meet your requirements.

It might also work to declare a variable and initialise it with "Get Pay Range from Job Information()", then later use this variable to get the pay grade from this pay range.

For assistance about configuration and aligning it with your business needs, please contact an Implementation Partner, as custom configuration isn't under the scope of Product Support - People.
