SuccessFactors Benefits: Specific Deduction Start Date for a Benefit Enrollment

[prabu_manoharan]

Scenario: Using Employee Central Benefits, we can set a deduction start date different from the enrollment start date during the Automatic Enrollment process.

When it is a manual enrollment, the deduction start date will follow the enrollment date as default.

Solution

In the object Benefit Enrollment, there is a field called “isDedStartDateCalculated”, that field must be TRUE, so can we manage the deduction start date as per the requirement.

 Creating an onSave rule to set the field to be TRUE and set the Deduction Start Date as expected:

The special configuration is in the “isDedStartDateCalculated” field:

The field is not visible, so you are not able to set using the standard Business Rule UI.

To set the field to be TRUE, you must…

1. Export the Business Rule

1. Edit the Rule in a Notepad

1. Import the Business Rule

Done.

The system will set the Deduction Start Date as you want.
