1H 2024- Release Highlights for SF Compensation

Rename the label for instructions from the UI:

Before 2H 2023, there was no possibility to have different labels for instructions of different tabs, of worksheets, like salary, bonus, summary etc. in different locales. You can only have one label in one language across all tabs and it can only be modified using the manage languages tool using the following key. 

In 2H 2023, a new element comp-instruction-tab-name was introduced in XML to have different labels for instructions for different tabs. But it can only be done using XML in provisioning. 

Now this feature has been extended to UI where comp admin can modify the labels for Instructions of different tabs directly from compensation home.

Export & Import from Executive Review using XLSX format: 

Earlier we had only two formats either XLS or CSV for exporting and importing data from the executive review. 

Now along with these two, we can also use XLSX format which is more advanced and supports larger data sets, newer features and multiple tools to process the data.

Ignore warnings while publishing data from comp to EC:

Earlier we can either enable or disable the business rules to be triggered while the data is being published back to employee central from comp. 

There was no midway where only error messages could be considered ignoring the warning messages. Now we can achieve this, by enabling this option under advanced settings of the concerned template.

Enhancements to comp statements: 

These are the changes which have been long awaited to be in standard statement templates. The lack of these options were the major reason for the customers to opt for either custom statements or using third party software like OpenText etc to generate statements out of SuccessFactors. 

Support for multi locale: 

Now we can translate the labels into multiple languages in the same statement instead of creating a separate statement for each language.

Support for images, links and tables:

Now you can add images, tables and hyperlinks using the rich text editor which offers multiple formatting options.

Preview option to visualise the changes: 

Earlier there was no preview option available to see changes how they reflect before saving them, you can only preview after saving the changes. But now you can visualize the changes using the preview option right inside the template.

Introduction of compensation into configuration transport centre:

Up until now, compensation is not part of the configuration transport centre which is the replacement of instance sync tool. As you might know, even in the instance sync tool, comp config is not widely covered apart from lookup tables. Now we can transport lookup tables across instances using the configuration transport centre. Hopefully, more areas will be covered in future releases.
