3809298 - Business Rule not working as expected for Compensation Information when change is performed via API - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

When a Compensation Information change is performed via API, the Business Rule configured as OnSave in Compensation Information does not work as expected. 

The Business Rule requirement is to calculate an increase in an specific Pay Component based on the values populated via API, however, the Business Rules continues to fetch the previous value for calculation purposes.

1. Upsert a new effective-dated EmpCompensation record, including the following fields:

   • userId
   • startDate
   • seqNumber
   • eventReason
   • payGroup

2. Upsert a new effective-dated EmpPayCompRecurring record, including the following fields:

   • userId
   • startDate
   • seqNumber
   • payComponent
   • paycompvalue
   • currencyCode
   • frequency

3. Once both records are saved, observe that while the targeted recurring pay component reflects the newly upserted value, all other derived pay components continue to be calculated based on the previous value rather than the updated one.

The Compensation Information onSave Business Rule runs when EmpCompensation is processed. In the current API flow, EmpCompensation is upserted before EmpPayCompRecurring, so the rule reads the prior recurring pay component value that has not yet been updated.

• Change the API payload order so that EmpPayCompRecurring records are upserted before the EmpCompensation record for the same effective date and sequence.
• If using a batch upsert, ensure entries are ordered so that EmpPayCompRecurring is processed first; alternatively, send in separate transactions with recurring pay components processed prior to Compensation Information.
