Overview of Plan Validation and Starting the Workforce Compensation Cycle

After you finish the foundation, budgets, worksheets, and models and reports configurations for the workforce compensation plan, you validate the plan. Then you start the compensation cycle.

Validate Plan Setup

To check dependencies among the various plan configurations and make sure that all existing conditions work, use the Validate button. Correct any errors listed on the Validation Results page and validate the plan again, repeating as needed until you don't get any errors.

Tip: This validation doesn't include the formulas, payroll elements, eligibility profiles, and other objects linked to the plan.

Start Workforce Compensation Cycle

After you finish validating the plan setup, you build the task worksheets for this plan using the Start Compensation Cycle button.

• The first time you run the Start Workforce Compensation Cycle process for the plan, you might want to make it a trial run.
• If you have issues with running the process, you may want to include trace statements in the log file.
• If you're using compensation tables in Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI), you want to start the Synchronize Hierarchy process after the cycle process completes.
• For a thorough test, you might want to include recently terminated workers to check that the various task worksheets show what you expect.
