Guidelines in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation using entered or calculated values for compensation planning

CMP-27249

Guidelines in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation are used to show recommendations to managers based on defined criteria such as performance rating or country. With this new release, we can include calculated or editable fields as part of the guidelines. A group column can be referred as a guideline grouping to show recommendations to managers.

Compensation plan template publishing to metadata framework (MDF)

MDF object is a custom object where we can store data for different modules such as compensation. With this new feature, we can automatically publish back the data into this type of objects once compensation cycle is completed.

Multiple custom field selections when publishing back to employee central

In this new realese of SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, we can now select several compensation fields to publish the results of the employees that only meet certain of these criteria.

Define population views using manage advanced executive review filters

CMP-27330

Population views can now be chosen, making navigation options cleaner for compensation reviewers. We can, for instance, deactivate the matrix hierarchy view if matrix managers are not a part of the process.

Filters

Show compensation recommendations outside of guidelines or salary range by using a filter in executive review

CMP-27521

A new standard filter is now available to better control pay distribution. As a result, we can have 3 new different views.

• Employees that are in guidelines and ranges (outside value = no)
• See all employees regardless of guidelines and ranges (if we do not select it as filter criteria)
• Employees that are outside guidelines and pay ranges (if the value chosen below is “yes”)

Publish Values from the Compensation Worksheet to compInfo Fields

CMP-20356

Although there are still a few limitations, we can now publish results from compensation worksheet into Employee Central compensation information fields.

Improved Collaboration for Planners in Updating Worksheets

VRP-12131

As multiple planners can have access to the same worksheet, SAP has introduced a new button called "save and close". Each manager can click on it once salary recommendations are introduced and they will be redirected to their compensation inbox".

This new setting in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation will allow other managers to access the worksheet and not block their accesses anymore avoiding potential bottlenecks.
