Route maps define the steps the variable pay worksheet will follow and who is assigned to each step. Modifications to the route map impact worksheets created from that point forward, not previously created worksheets. A new route map can be created either by using a pre-configured template from the SAP SuccessStore or by building your own workflow.
Route maps can be:
- Single Role – Assigning the route map step to a role or user
- Iterative – Assigning the step to two or more users. Admins will have to assign who among the users will get the form first and who will move the form to the next step.
- Collaborative – Assigning the steps to two or more users who will simultaneously get the form in their inbox but only ome user can open the form at a time.
A route map uses SAP SuccessFactors system roles to figure out the form recipient. In Compensation and Variable Pay, Employee roles refer to managers and not individual employees. In the same way, Managers refer to manager’s manager or the second-level manager. This guarantees that only managers receive the compensation forms.
After recommendations have been entered, planners/approvers can move the form to the next step of the route map. This can be found at the top or bottom of the worksheet.
