A customer's salary process has a Final Review step at the end of the route...

In SAP SuccessFactors Compensation, the Force Default On Custom Column Change option in guidelines ensures that when specific custom fields change (such as Country), the merit increase is reset to its default. This meets the requirement of resetting the merit increase only when Country changes, not when Job Family changes.

Configuring Force Default on Custom Column Change

Option D: By setting Force Default On Custom Column Change to "Yes," the system will reset the merit increase to default values whenever a change occurs in a reloadable custom field marked as critical.

Reloadable Columns: Making only the Country column reloadable ensures that changes in Country will trigger the reset, while Job Family changes will not affect the merit guideline.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect

Option A involves Force Default On Rating Change, which is irrelevant for custom columns like Country or Job Family.

Option B and Option C involve making both Country and Job Family reloadable, which does not meet the requirement to ignore Job Family changes.
