How You Let People Submit Personal Contributions When Earlier Contributions Are Pending Approval

To let people submit personal contributions when earlier contributions are pending approval, you need to enable the CMP_DISABLE_PENDING_APPROVALS_CHECK_IN_MANAGE_CONTRIBUTION profile option at the Site level.

You also need to configure the access details of the relevant individual compensation plans. For the Manage Personal Contribution task, never allow update allocations and never allow the discontinuation of allocations. This access detail configuration ensures that individuals can't change or delete existing contributions, preventing conflicts for contributions that are pending approval.

With this option enabled, approvers can't edit submitted contributions as part of their approval. Also, they can't see the submitted values if they edit the submitted contribution. Line managers, compensation managers and administrators, and HR specialists can still make updates or deletions using the Manage Individual Compensation or Administer Individual Compensation tasks. This visibility assumes you configured the plan access to include the corresponding actions for these tasks.
