How to Input Data Using the Direct Data Input Compensation Item?

There are two ways to input data using the Direct Data Input compensation item type:

Using Method 1: Manual Input Employees 

1. Navigate to Structured Planning to open the Planning Control Panel.
2. Select the Scenario, Budget Entity, and the HR - Workforce Planning template and open in the Input mode.
3. Select an employee by clicking on the Employee Number link. 
4. Go to the I/P Comp Item tab. For each employee, manually enter the necessary values.
   Examples: 
   1. Ex-pat packages
   2. Executive bonuses for a small executive team
   3. Birthday month bonuses/gifts

Using Method 2: Data Load for Multiple Employees

This is ideal for cases where the items are calculated outside of Planful. If you have a number of employees that you need direct data input for, you can do a data load instead of loading directly into the template. Use the Workforce Planning - Employee Compensation Items Data Load Rule.

Examples:

1. Stock options or restricted stock compensation
2. Executive bonuses for a large team
3. Sales commissions
4. 401K costs
