The calculation process divides both the reference period and the analysis period into sections by considering the elementary period type. For each elementary period, the process extracts from the HR database the base compensation (from the PS_COMPENSATION table) and the variable compensation (from PS_VC_AWARDS) for all the workers in the group specified at the scenario level. It also calculates the average headcount and full-time equivalents (FTEs) for each elementary period to create average compensation amounts.
This calculation process considers all the events defined for future elementary periods and calculates forecasted compensation. Any event defined for past or current elementary periods is not considered because data exists for those periods of time in the HR database.
The forecasted compensation amounts are stored in salary forecasting tables so that you can compare the results of several scenarios. Remember that the salary forecasting process does not update core HR transaction tables.
Use the Forecast Compensation page (LMS_RUN_CNTL_PNL) to initiate compensation forecasting based on specified criteria.
