Describing Key SAP SuccesFactors Variable Pay 1H 2026 Features and Enhancements

The Full Profile data viewing experience is now available to all customers. The Full Profile handles permission to view Compensation category cards differently than the legacy People Profile does.

In the current version, the visibility of the category Compensation as well as the various Reward Statements-related cards is set to be visible to all by default. You can edit the visibility at the category level by going to Configure Latest People Profile→Compensation.

To change this visibility at the card level, go to Configure Latest People Profile→Compensation, select uncheck the checkbox for Visible on Full Profile as shown in the image and Save your settings.

If you want the cards to be visible to employees, you can control the visibility of the cards for other roles by using Role-based permissions. The role-based permission for each statement-related element in User Permission→Employee Data must not have the Target population set to all.

The permissions under User Permission→Employee Views no longer apply to the cards on the Full Profile. If you rely on this permission to secure the Rewards Statement data, you must review all your permissions related to the Reward Statements and make sure these are as desired.

If you have permissions based on hierarchy in the Succession Data Model, review the permissions set for fields for Rewards Statements. The permission to all by using * for these fields is no longer valid configuration. Replace * with the roles in the hierarchy that need the requisite permissions.

This enhancement simplifies the permission structure for Full Profile; however, at this time it makes it imperative to review permissions and make sure they're in line with your business policies.

Review the following and align the permissions with your business requirements:

• Configure Latest People Profile→Compensation category viewing permissions.
• Viewing permissions for each of the cards under the Compensation category when reviewing Configure Latest People Profile settings.
• User Permission→Employee Data permissions for the data relevant to Reward Statements.
• Go to Manage Business Configuration→Employee Profile→Standard. Review roles set to view the personalVarPayStatement, vpIndividualView, and personalCombinedStatement fields. If * is one of the roles, remove it and have the roles in place you wish to be able to see these fields.

In the current version, the Compensation category and all Reward Statement cards are visible to all by default. To make sure that the Rewards Statements aren't exposed unintentionally, review the Employee Data permissions for the fields related to Personal Reward Statements.

In the previous version, the permission model for Employee Profile respected the permissions set for Employee Views, which are ignored by the permission model for the latest People Profile.

Latest People Profile

Migrating Legacy People Profile Configurations

Displaying Personal Variable Pay Statements in Latest People Profile

We've enhanced the Basis Calculation Equation functionality to support additional customization when setting up Basis Calculation Equations for Variable Pay templates.

You can now define conditional rules directly in the Formula field for Basis Calculation Equation in Variable Pay templates using the If-then conditions in your formula. This allows you to set different calculation logic for target bonus amounts based on string or number fields.IF conditions using fields of type vfld, ffld, or ifld from the custom field list defined in the Succession Data Model as a background element of type vfld, ffld, or ifld.

Date fields are not supported.

Nested IF statements are supported.

Logical operators such as AND or OR are not supported.

Lookup function is not supported.

Fields basis, recordType, and varPayProgramName are not supported for bonus calculations.

The UI provides validation and clear error messages for unsupported formula inputs.

This enhancement is from Custom Influence Idea 343168.

Go to Compensation Home→Template Name→Plan Setup→Settings→Set Bonus Calculation. In the Basis Calculation Equation section, choose Custom Formula.

In the current version, you can use If-then statements and use functions in Custom Formula for Basis Calculation Equation allowing dynamic calculations based on employee attributes such as Legal Entity. There's also validation and error handling in the formula editor to support custom formula creation.

In the previous version, you couldn't use IF-then logic or functions in Custom Formulas.

Choosing Calculation Method for Base Pay Amount

Setting Up Bonus Calculation Equations

You can now select certain standard fields from multiple business Goal Plan sections and add them to the Personal Rewards Statement when editing a compensation statement template in the statement editor.

You're able to add up to five business goal plans for a variable pay plan when setting up bonus calculations.

This functionality enables you to select business section fields from multiple goal plans in the column designer such that they appear in the compensation worksheet. However, all fields weren't available to you in the statement editor. These fields included the following:

• Business Calc Amount
• Business Forecast Percent
• Business Forecast 2 Percent
• Forecast Calc Amount
• Forecast 2 Calc Amount
• Total Target
• Business Percent

So you can, for example, add along with totalTarget, totalTarget1 to totalTarget5. Once the fields are selected in the column designer, these goal section fields are now available in the statement editor. You can add these fields under the Add Field option in the statement editor and define conditions based on them.

This enhancement gives you the ability to add business section entry-level fields to Rewards Statement templates from multiple goal plans. You're thus able to use the statement editor to create and maintain your templates and don't need any expertise in XML or XSL for this purpose.

In the current version, you can select business section-related fields from multiple goal plans in the statement editor, allowing for easy customization of statement templates.

In the previous version, you couldn't select certain business section-related fields in the statement editor from multiple goal plans. The work-around was to create custom statement templates which meant you were unable to use the statement editor for statement template creation.

Attaching Goal Plan Templates Based on Business Goal Sections

Modifying Statement Templates

You can now generate a report that includes detailed information to track the status of bonus assignment statements for users.

Data in the report includes USER ID, USER NAME, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, STATEMENT ASSIGNMENT, STATEMENT GENERATED, DEPARTMENT, DIVISION, MANAGER, LOCATION, JOB TITLE, and COUNTRY/REGION. STATEMENT ASSIGNMENT and STATEMENT GENERATED columns display assigned and generated statement template names, leaving the STATEMENT GENERATED column blank if no statement is generated or if a statement is recalled. If a user is moved to a new template without regenerating, the old template name appears in the STATEMENT GENERATED column, while the new template name appears in the STATEMENT ASSIGNMENT column. If a user regenerates the statement after moving, the new template name is shown in both columns.

To run the report, go to Compensation Home→Plan Setup→Bonus Assignment Statements and click on the Reward Statement Generation Report icon. You then choose View Scheduled Jobs button to access the job details.

This enhancement is from Customer Influence Idea 359667.

In the current version, there's a new icon on the Compensation Home→Plan Setup→Bonus Assignment Statements page that when clicked generates a report that gives you an efficient way to figure out which employees were missed during bonus assignment statement generation.

The Reward Statement Generation Report report includes detailed data and accurately reflects the status of bonus statement assignments and generations.

In the previous version, there was no comprehensive report or an efficient way to track the status of bonus assignment statement generation, making it difficult for you to manage and verify template assignments and generations.
