Variable Pay - Can Assigment Details section to have symbols (%,$) in its number format

[ernestogabrielm]

Hi experts,

I would like to know if is possible to add symbols like % or $ in the assigment deatil section, the same as the other sections of the variable pay form. 

I think not, but I wanted to be sure.

Thank you

As per error message suggests delete the tag mentioned in it or change its value and retry.

I can't take you more than the hand than providing a recording like I did in my blog and don't have a lot of bandwidth to help assisting every step along the way.

All the best

In standard fields from the varpayemphist table (the ones from your screenshot) it is not possible but if you use ALCF fields you can achieve what you want. 

See recording #3 of link below.

Hi @xavierlegarrec ,

I added the changes to de xml:

<comp-field-definition id="cust_TargetPercent" isCustomField="true" isVisible="true" type="percent" useFor="varpay" level="assignment" importKey="tgtPct" importsrc="DM" readOnly="true" width="6" hidePercentage="false" hideAmount="false" percentageReadOnly="false" reloadable="false" auditable="false" displayOrder="1" reportable="true" needCalcTotal="false">
<comp-field-label><![CDATA[Target Percent]]></comp-field-label>
<comp-field-number-format-id><![CDATA[customPercentFormat]]></comp-field-number-format-id>
<comp-custom-field-formula><![CDATA[totalGoalResultsPayoutPercent]]></comp-custom-field-formula>
<field-permission type="read">
<role name>*</role name>
<field refid=comp-fields"></field>
<route-step stepid="*"/>
</field-permission>
</comp-field-definition>
<comp-field-definition id="cust_TargetAmount" isCustomField="true" isVisible="true" type="money" useFor="varpay" level="assignment" importKey="basis" importsrc="DM" readOnly="true" width="6" hidePercentage="false" hideAmount="false" percentageReadOnly="false" reloadable="false" auditable="false" displayOrder="2" reportable="true" needCalcTotal="false">
<comp-field-label><![CDATA[Target Amount]]></comp-field-label>
<comp-field-number-format-id><![CDATA[defMoneyFormat]]></comp-field-number-format-id>
<comp-custom-field-formula><![CDATA[assignmentBasis]]></comp-custom-field-formula>
<field-permission type="read">
<role name>*</role name>
<field refid=comp-fields"></field>
<route-step stepid="*"/>
</field-permission>
</comp-field-definition>

but, when import to provisioning I have the error:

Error: You have entered an incorrect value for the attribute comp-default-sort.

The line is the same as other templates:

<comp-default-sort field="userName" order="asc" sortby="empLastName"></comp-default-sort>

I can not identify the problem..

Any Idea?

Thanks!

Hi Ernesto,

We are getting the same error " You have entered an incorrect value for the attribute comp-default-sort” when importing an XML via provisioning.

The tags are in line with the display settings in the instance: <comp-default-sort field="userName" order="asc" sortby="empLastName"></comp-default-sort>

Did you manage to solve this issue back then?

Thanks!

Laura

See #2 below from this post.

Release tip and tricks for Compensation experts that need to do a cutover from a preview environment to a production environment by November 14-15 when 2H 2025 gets rolled out to Production environments:

1. Configuration Transport Center will not work for MDF objects transport due to release version differences, it will only for business rules. MDF will need to manually recreated.
2. In order to successfully import a compensation or variable pay template xml to production you will need to first search in the exported template from the preview environment for [hideInProfile="false" hideInForm="false"] and replace with blanks (through xml editor) otherwise you will get error messages in provisioning (the error message might not be specific to this but this is the root cause).

[Laura_Gyselbrec]

Thanks for this.

I actually remembered this note after we had already resolved the issue — of course!

In the end, we managed to fix it by exporting the configuration from another environment and importing it.

Yes, it's all explained in the recording I pointed to.

Hi @xavierlegarrec ,

Is it possible  to bring in custom fields the varPayEmpHistData values of tgtPct and basis? 

Im tryin to map them but the system seems not to allow it.

I need the symbols of those fields.

[ernestogabrielm]

Hi @xavierlegarrec ,

Do you talk about this section? Here is all assigned.. 

[xavierlegarrec]

@ernestogabrielm 

Yes if you turn your ALCF fields into Percent or Money you will see the symbols.

All the best

Xavier
