Miscellaneous Rate Component Columns and User-Defined Columns

You can include your own numeric, text, and list information in worksheet columns of workforce compensation plans.

Miscellaneous Rate Component Columns

You can share numeric values with managers and let them enter their own values using the six miscellaneous rate columns under the component groups. For example, you want to use a target stored outside the plan to calculate bonuses. All six columns are updatable and you can default values for them using a plan cross-reference. But, if an individual isn't eligible for the component, managers can't edit their value.

With these columns, you can show totals for the detail table population in the summary table view.

User-Defined Columns

You can share numeric, text, and list values with managers and let them enter or select their own values by configure user-defined columns. For example, you want to include external stock data, such as vested and unvested shares and the vesting date. All user-defined columns are updatable and you can default values for them using a plan cross-reference.

The numeric columns can display any numeric value and the text columns can display any text value. List Column 46 displays the values that you define in the CMP_CWB_CUST_COL_46_LIST lookup type. List Column 47 displays the values that you define in the CMP_CWB_CUST_COL_47_LIST lookup type, and so on, for list columns 48 -- 50. You can override the default lookup type and use a different lookup type. To edit the default lookup types and create your own, use the Lookups task in the Compensation work area.

You can't show totals for these columns in the summary table view because they aren't available to enable there.
