Publishing back Promotion Event from Compesnation to SuccessFactors Employee central

[rashmi_r_joshi]

@xavierlegarrec,

We are publishing promotion data from Compensation to SuccessFactors Employee Central. While the promotion information is correctly transferred, the event reason is defaulting to "Annual Increment" instead of the intended promotion event reason. 

The "Annual Increment" event reason is defaulted under Plan Setup --> Settings --> Employee Central settings and is being automatically applied during the publish process. We require the promotion event to be recorded with the specific promotion event reason, not "Annual Increment."

I have followed the KBA -2425424 - Compensation - Publishing EC Promotions & Event/Event Reasons, but please note we are not using Event derivation in Employee central and hence this KBA was not of much use.

Please provide guidance on how to ensure that promotions published from Compensation to Employee Central utilize the correct promotion event reason, bypassing the default "Annual Increment" event reason, without using Event Derivation in Employee Central.

Thanks

Rashmi

Hi @rashmi_r_joshi 

Create a new custom column of type string in your template with a custom formula in it that reflects the fact that an employee received a promotion (you may want to based it on the job info change or on the $ change or on both). You need to use the ID of the event-reason created in EC).

for example : if(promo>0,PROMOTION,ANNINCREMENT)

Then add something like this (red arrows) to your template's publish back design :

For inspiration on what to add to your formula you can check out this blog: https://community.sap.com/t5/human-capital-management-blogs-by-sap/custom-validation-to-prevent-a-pr...

All the best,
