Use Plan Administration to administer your Compensation Workbench plans after you define them in Oracle HRMS using the Total Compensation data model.
Use the Plan Administration page to make updates to plans for the specific compensation period. To make permanent changes, you must update the original plan definition.
Note: The changes you make using the Plan Administration page are not carried over to other plan periods and are lost when you run the Compensation Workbench Back-out Life Events Process.
You can select any group plan to update. If you select a plan containing options, then the plan hierarchy displays all the options separately. The application does not display a hierarchy for Global Basic or Global Stand Alone plans.
You can make the following changes:
Plan and Option names
Plan status (Active, Inactive, Closed)
Task types, names, sequences, and access levels
Self-Service availability period
Effective date of performance ratings or assignment changes
Salary Change Reasons
Select the template for Employee Statements
Post Zero Salary Increase - select Yes to Post Zero Salary Increase to enable recording of a zero change amount in salary proposals of employees who did not receive any salary increase.
Show Appraisals Completed in Last N Days - enter a value in the Show Appraisals Completed in Last N Days field, as applicable. This allows the administrator to control the period of time used by CWB to look back to show completed appraisals from within the allocation worksheet. For example, if it is set to thirty days, then managers will only be able to view appraisals completed by their employees in the last 30 days (based on the effective date of the Participation Process). Any employee appraisals with a completed date earlier than that thirty day period will not be visible from within the allocation worksheet.
Grade Range Validation - select Error or Warning, or leave blank. When set to Error or Warning, the application validates the employee's New Salary amount against the employee's grade range (i.e. grade min and max values). Leave this field blank (default), to not perform any validation. Select Error if you want the application to display an error when the New Salary amount is outside the employee's grade range and to prevent the allocation amount from being saved in the worksheet. Select Warning if you want the application to only display a warning when the employee's New Salary amount is outside of the employee's grade range and still permit the allocation amount to be saved in the worksheet. Error or Warning values must be selected every plan cycle.
Note: After you enter configuration details in the Show Appraisals Completed in Last N Days field, you MUST run the Compensation Workbench Refresh Process and select the Refresh Person option.

Rounding/Formatting Codes
Note: To configure the number of decimal places to display for budget and worksheet amounts that are expressed as a percentage of eligible salary, you must set the following profile options:
BEN: CWB Budget as Percent of Eligible Salary Decimals - set this profile option to Yes if the application displays budgets as percent of eligible salary
BEN: CWB Allocation as Percent of Eligible Salary Decimals - set this profile option to Yes if the application displays decimals for percent of eligible salary based on allocated amounts.
Add new rows to refresh exchange rates for those currencies
Note: You must always run the Refresh Summary Batch process after you change exchange rates.
You cannot do the following:

Update rate calculation definitions

Change the Hierarchy Type Definition
Note: You can use this page to update details only after you run the Participation Process: Compensation Workbench. All changes affect only the specific period and do not affect the original plan definition. Plan changes made here act as temporary overrides. The changes you make here are lost and overridden during subsequent runs of the Participation Process: Compensation Workbench for the same plan and period.
