When the currency conversion table is updated during a planning period, in-progress forms reflect these changes dynamically.

Option C: "Change is dynamic to in-progress forms."

In SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, currency conversion updates affect in-progress worksheets immediately and dynamically without the need for manual updates. This feature ensures accurate currency data throughout the planning period.

When planners need to provide a reason for not awarding a merit increase, this can be enforced through standard validation rules.

Setting a Force Comment Rule with "No-Raise" Mode

In SuccessFactors Compensation, under the Define Standard Validation Rules section, you can set a Force Comment Rule with the mode set to “no-raise.” This triggers a required comment whenever a planner decides not to give a merit increase.

This is a straightforward way to enforce explanations for no-raise situations, leveraging standard settings.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option B is incorrect because custom validation formulas are not necessary for this type of forced comment.

Option C (comp-force-comment-config tag with mode “guideline”) is unrelated to no-raise situations.

Option D (setting mode to "raise") is incorrect as this would trigger comments for raises, not for when no raise is given.

To give planners a comprehensive view of how their direct and indirect reports are adhering to allocated budgets before final approval, SAP SuccessFactors Compensation provides the Detailed (Rollup) Report option, which aggregates budget data across multiple hierarchy levels.

Option A: "Include the Detailed (Rollup) Report option in the worksheet configuration."

The Detailed (Rollup) Report allows planners to view budget allocation and adherence information for both direct and indirect reports in one consolidated report. This report is accessible from the worksheet, providing planners with visibility into how each level of their reporting structure is adhering to the assigned budgets before final approval.

In SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, when using a number format that specifies rounding down and rounding to the nearest multiple of 100, calculations are done as follows:

Understanding the Format Settings

Mode: Round Down: This setting rounds the value down to the nearest specified multiple.

Multiple: 100: Specifies that rounding should occur to the nearest 100.

Calculation for 9575.50

Given the number 9575.50, rounding down to the nearest multiple of 100 results in 9500, as rounding down means moving to the lower nearest 100.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option B (9570) would not be correct as it does not round to the nearest 100.

Options C (9000) and D (9600) do not accurately reflect the rounding down requirement with a multiple of 100.

In SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, the Force Default On Custom Column Change option in guidelines ensures that when specific custom fields change (such as Country), the merit increase is reset to its default. This meets the requirement of resetting the merit increase only when Country changes, not when Job Family changes.

Configuring Force Default on Custom Column Change

Option D: By setting Force Default On Custom Column Change to "Yes," the system will reset the merit increase to default values whenever a change occurs in a reloadable custom field marked as critical.

Reloadable Columns: Making only the Country column reloadable ensures that changes in Country will trigger the reset, while Job Family changes will not affect the merit guideline.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option A involves Force Default On Rating Change, which is irrelevant for custom columns like Country or Job Family.

Option B and Option C involve making both Country and Job Family reloadable, which does not meet the requirement to ignore Job Family changes.

To meet the requirement of displaying a paragraph only for employees on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without showing the rating, the use of conditional text combined with field-based permissions is the best approach.

Conditional Text Section and Field-Based Permissions

Option D: A conditional text section allows you to set conditions (such as rating equals 1 or 2) to display specific content only for certain employees. Using field-based permissions to hide the rating ensures it is not displayed on the worksheet or statement.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Options A and B involve including the rating in the statement, which the client does not want.

Option C (adding a paragraph for all employees with a note) does not selectively display the content based on PIP status.

To include a specific population of inactive employees in the worksheet, select settings that specify inclusion criteria for inactive users and adjust eligibility accordingly.

Option C: "Select 'Including Inactive Users' when defining the Method of Planner, select 'All employees are eligible' under Eligibility Settings, update eligibility rules to INCLUDE the desired inactive employees."

By enabling the "Including Inactive Users" option, planners can ensure that inactive employees are part of the worksheet. Setting "All employees are eligible" provides a base eligibility, while the eligibility rules can then specifically include only the desired inactive employees based on criteria set in the rule.

SAP SuccessFactors Compensation statements do not support advanced graphical elements like pie charts directly within standard statements.

Creating Custom Statements for Graphs

Option B: A custom statement would be required to include advanced elements such as pie graphs, as standard statement templates do not natively support graphical components.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option A (mix of data from compensation and variable pay), Option C (different statements per employee group), and Option D (conditional field visibility based on amount) are all possible with standard statement configurations.

To use the Executive Review Offline Edit feature in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, certain permissions are required for downloading data, making bulk changes offline, and re-uploading those changes.

Executive Review - Export Permission

Option A: This permission allows users to export the compensation data from the Executive Review page to a downloadable format (such as Excel). This is essential for performing offline edits.

Executive Review - Import Permission

Option B: This permission enables users to import or re-upload the edited data back into the system after making bulk changes offline. It’s critical to ensure these changes are successfully integrated into the worksheet.

Executive Review - Edit Permission

Option D: This permission allows users to edit entries within the Executive Review interface. It is necessary for making adjustments to compensation data.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option C (Executive Review - Mass Action permission) is unrelated to offline editing; it pertains to actions like applying mass updates within the online Executive Review.

Option E (Ad Hoc Reports for the Compensation Planning domain) is for reporting rather than permissions directly related to offline editing capabilities.
