How You Can Validate Salary and Responsive Individual Compensation Approval Rule Changes

Test approval rule changes for responsive salary and individual compensation processes and actions without creating and submitting any new transactions. This way, you can debug and incrementally build conditional logic for approval rules, then instantaneously see the effects.

Use the HCM Approval Rules page and Transaction Console for these responsive processes and actions:

Salary Processes and Actions Individual Compensation Processes and Actions
  • Administer Individual Compensation
  • Manage Individual Compensation
  • Manage Personal Contributions
  • Administer Individual Compensation
  • Manage Individual Compensation
  • Manage Personal Contributions

This validation doesn't apply to classic individual compensation workflows because you can see the approval chain on the transaction Review page.

You need to first commit any changes you make to the approval rules before you simulate the rules. You can search for transactions by name, who created them, and created during a date range. To further refine your results, use the Status field. The available statuses are Draft, In Progress, and Failed. Select from the list of filtered transactions and use those values to simulate the approval rule results.

Tip: To test the approval flow configuration for new transactions, you need to disable bypass approvals. But you can test the approval flow configuration for pending, draft, and failed transactions when bypass approvals is enabled.
