High-Level Specification

Functional Overview

• Report Type: SuccessFactors Story Report
• Module: Compensation
• Population: Active employees in scope for SIP (global)
• Usage: Pre‑cycle eligibility validation, ad‑hoc / on‑demand
• Focus: SIP eligibility determination and exception identification
• Primary Users: Enterprise compensation processors, Total Rewards and Compensation roles

Why the report / analytics is needed

The SIP Eligibility Report is required to support the Sales Incentive Plan (SIP) process by providing a pre‑cycle eligibility control view for enterprise compensation processors.
It allows the business to assess employee eligibility before launching the SIP compensation cycle, ensuring that only eligible employees are included and that exceptions are identified and addressed in advance.

Business requirements addressed

This report addresses the following business requirements:

• Identify employees in scope for the SIP process based on defined eligibility criteria
• Provide visibility of eligibility exceptions that need to be marked or corrected
• Enable pre‑cycle validation of eligibility to avoid downstream corrections during SIP execution
• Support enterprise compensation processors with a single, consolidated eligibility view

Business questions answered

The report enables the business to answer key questions such as:

• Which employees are eligible for SIP for the upcoming cycle?
• Are there any eligibility exceptions that require action before the cycle starts?
• How is SIP eligibility distributed across grades, workforce categories, and global assignment statuses?
• Are all active employees correctly evaluated against SIP eligibility criteria?

Why it is important to the business

This report is critical to ensure accurate, compliant, and timely SIP processing.
Without a dedicated pre‑cycle eligibility report, eligibility checks would rely on manual analysis across multiple data sources, increasing the risk of errors, inconsistencies, and delays.
The SIP Eligibility Report reduces operational risk, improves data quality, and supports a smoother execution of the SIP compensation cycle.

Design Rationale

A custom Story Report is required because:

• No existing report supports SIP eligibility checks prior to the compensation cycle
• Standard SAP / SuccessFactors reports do not provide consolidated eligibility and exception visibility
• The SIP process requires a dedicated pre‑cycle validation view 

Assumptions

• Employee data and Compensation data are correctly maintained
• Eligibility exceptions are marked in source data
• Security access is managed via standard SuccessFactors RBP 

Dependencies

• Accuracy of Compensation and employee master data
• Finalization of security roles for report access
• Dependency on SIP process timelines 

Special Requirements

• Global scope
• Pre‑cycle usage only
• Eligibility and exception visibility is mandatory for SIP validation 

Frequency of Analysis / Report Run

• Ad‑hoc / On‑demand 

Testing Considerations / Dependencies

How to Test

• Validate inclusion of active employees only
• Validate eligibility counts in charts vs table
• Validate page filters (Grade, Hire Date, Workforce Category, Global Assignment Status)
• Validate visibility of eligibility exceptions 

Test Conditions and Expected Results

Other Requirements
