You run the Compensation Workbench Post Process after line managers have approved all budget and worksheet entries.

The process updates the database and writes the allocated amounts to an employee's salary proposal record or to an element entry--for salary changes--or to element entries for other activity rates (such as bonuses) if you attach an element to the applicable rate when you define the rate.

You can selectively filter eligible employees for Post Process by using the Person Selection Rule.

To use the Person Selection Rule during Post Process, ensure that you have defined a FastFormula of type Person Selection.
