Bonus Plan Eligibility Rule not Equal to condition

[Stergios_B]

Hi experts, 
our client determines Bonus Plan Assignment based on Payout Coefficient (more than 35 Payout coefficients). Because the client has both Financial and Corporate Goals its employee is assigned to two bonus plans. 
Our issue is for the Corporate Bonus Plans. 
More particularly, for Corporate Bonus plan A the eligible employee has Payout Coefficient XX, 
while for Corporate bonus plan B the eligible employees are those that do not have Payout Coefficient XX.

For Corporate Bonus Plan A the rule is working correctly (please see screenshot below)

However, for Corporate Bonus plan B the rule is not working and the system returns Bonus Plans to the employees (please see the screenshot below)

When we tried to create an eligibility rule for Corporate Bonus Plan B with Is Equal to condition the system works as expected. Yet this alternative is not preferable since there are a lot of Payout Coefficients.

Do you have any suggestions how to build the rule for the Bonus Plan B?
@xavierlegarrec Could you please point out any indications? 
Best regards,
Stergios

Hello @xavierlegarrec , thank you for the reply. Unfortunately this suggestion did not work. We tried with different scenarios the suggested rule, but when we set is not equal to condition in the rule we do not get the expected results in the Bonus Plans. Is this possible that could you provide any other suggestions?

@Stergios_B Unfortunately I don't have any other idea. I rarely use EC Bonus Plan business rules just because of these kind of reasons (lots of issues with dates of the VP plan vs dates of the record in EC etc). I try to have the complexity of Bonus plan requirements added to the EC Comp Info field through a business rule and then use legacy bonus plan rules which are must faster and more reliable.
