3634696 - Calibration distribution when ≤ operator is used in the guideline

Symptom

This KBA explains how the ≤ operator works in Calibration sessions through an example.

Guideline Configuration:

  • a ≤ 10%
  • a + b = 30%
  • c = 40%
  • d = 20%
  • e = 10%

Total users in session: 19

System Output:

  • a ≤ 2
  • a + b = 5
  • c = 7
  • d = 3
  • e = 1

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals 2505

SAP SuccessFactors Calibration 2505

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Set this guideline in a Calibration template:
    • a ≤ 10%
    • a + b = 30%
    • c = 40%
    • d = 20%
    • e = 10%
  2. Involve 19 users in the Calibration Session.

  3. See the following distribution as result in the activated Calibration Session:

    • a ≤ 2
    • a + b = 5
    • c = 7
    • d = 3
    • e = 1

Cause

The calculation logic of the Percentage guideline is to first multiply the percentage by the number of people in the session. If the operator is ≤/< or the number is on the right side of the interval the system will use rounding up. If the operator is ≥/> or the number on the left side of the interval the system will use rounding down.

Resolution

The emergence of such calculation logic is to ensure that when the range configuration appears, the sum A calculated by the guideline at the left end of the interval and the sum B calculated at the right end of the interval satisfy the following relationship: A ≤ total number of subjects in the session ≤ B

This is how the system calculates the distribution:

GuidelineDistribution
a ≤ 10%

1.9  -> 2

a + b = 30%

5.7 -> 5

c = 40%

7.6 -> 7

d = 20%

3.8 -> 3

e = 10%

1.9 -> 1
