eddy_synonyms:
Current Review = determines whether user enters Current Raise Percent or Current Raise Amount
Current Raise = editable raise fields tied to Current Review selection
Current Raise Date = Cur Rev Dt; system-defined, not editable
eddy_rules:
* Current Raise Date (Cur Rev Dt) is a system-defined attribute and cannot be edited; it represents the current year's raise timing.
* If users ask about editing “current review date” or “current raise date,” clarify that raise dates are system-controlled and redirect them to editable Position Info fields only (Current Review, Current Raise Percent, Current Raise Amount).
* Do not route users to the System-Defined Attributes article unless they explicitly ask about system-defined fields.
* Current Review selection determines whether the user enters a Current Raise Percent or Current Raise Amount.
* When users ask about editing raise information, always reference “Current Raise” fields, not “Current Review date.”
eddy_questions:
* Why can't I edit the Current Raise Date (Cur Rev Dt) in Workforce Planning?
* How does the Current Review selection determine whether Current Raise Percent or Current Raise Amount appears?
* What fields should I update if I want to change an employee’s raise calculation?
* What is the difference between editable raise fields and the system-defined Current Raise Date?
* How do I correct a raise configuration if I selected the wrong Current Review option?

System-defined attributes are preset attributes that are not customizable by users.

• Annual Salary:  A system-defined attribute that defines the salary of an employee.
• Cur Rev Dt (Current Raise Date): A system-defined attribute associated with employee position and signifies the current year raise date. This attribute handles pay increases between the current (now) and scenario start date.
• Bud Rev Dt (Budget Raise Date): A system-defined attribute associated with employee position and signifies the current year raise date. This attribute handles pay increases in a budget/forecast scenario. The scenario can have one year or multiple plan years based on application configuration. For multi-year budgeting, only one Budget Review Date field is displayed for an employee position, and a pay increase is assumed on anniversary dates for budget year 2, budget year 3, and so on.
