BUSINESS REQUIREMENT: 

Update the mandatory increase requirements in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation after launching the worksheets, without needing to delete and recreate them.

CUSTOM SOLUTION:

In order to update the mandatory increase requirements in SAP SuccessFactors Compensation without deleting and recreating the worksheets, a custom solution can be implemented. This custom approach allows for adjustments to be made directly within the system, ensuring that changes are applied efficiently without any disruptions or data loss. By leveraging this tailored solution, organizations can maintain compliance with new requirements while avoiding the time-consuming process of recreating compensation worksheets.

Step 1- Add a lookup Table:

To modify the default guideline for the Belgium population, set up a lookup table with the input as the country and an initial output value (n). This value can be updated later to enforce the default value.
