3672100 - Decline Spot Award Error: The Spot award amount does not match the guideline

Symptom

An error appears saying "The Spot award amount does not match the guideline" when you decline the spot award. The nominee moved from one country to another.

Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors Reward and Recognition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. View Pending Workflow
  2. Open the Award workflow
  3. Click on Decline
  4. An error will pop up saying "The spot award amount does not match the guideline".

Cause

The guidelines indicate that the nominee’s previous country had a guideline amount of 250 USD, and the current country has a corresponding guideline of 500 EUR.

It will result to a guideline mismatch error when an action such as approve, decline, or withdraw is performed on the Award Workflow because the system tries to match the awardAmount (250) with the current guideline (500).

  4. Export the Guideline

  8. After that, a new award can be created using the most recent guideline.
