Important Points About Creating Variable Compensation Trees

When you have defined groups in Group Build, use PeopleSoft Tree Manager to attach them to a Variable Compensation tree. For the most part, use standard procedures for creating hierarchical trees in PeopleSoft Tree Manager. However, remember these additional points when creating Variable Compensation trees:

• All parent and child groups that you attach to the tree must be defined separately in Group Build.

• If you used group build pages to copy your department structure to groups, also attach the groups to a VC tree and set up VC tree security.

• When the Determine Eligibility/Proration process generates the groups, it eliminates parent-child duplicates. It does not eliminate sibling duplicates, which you can manage with the help of the Tree Member Overlap report.

• In Variable Compensation transactions, reference groups through the tree name that you enter in PeopleSoft Tree Manager.

• Use the proper Variable Compensation settings in PeopleSoft Tree Manager.
