Compare sets allow you to group pay code rules within a pay agreement so the system can compare the results of each rule in the group and pay the payee based on the lowest or highest result from that group. Before you can assign pay code rules to a group, you must first create the compare sets that represent each grouping.
Configure Compare Sets for Pay Code Rules
Use this procedure to create a new compare set in a pay agreement.
Open the pay agreement you want to edit in the Pay Agreement Entry screen.
Click the Compare Sets tab under the pay agreement section. The Compare Sets pane opens on the right-hand side of the screen.
Near the top of the Compare Sets pane, click Add. A blank row appears.
In the Set Name column of the blank row, enter a unique name for the compare set for this pay agreement.
In the Priority Order column of the blank row, enter the priority sequence number for the compare set. This priority determines which compare set is applied when more than one compare set produces the same result. For example, if compare set A has a priority of 0 and compare set B has a priority of 1, compare set A is applied when sets A and B return the same result.
When you are ready to save the new compare set, click Save. The system saves the compare set, closes the Compare Sets pane and shows a confirmation message.
When you configure a pay code rule, you can select a compare set in the Compare Set field on the Pay Code Rule Entry screen. Selecting a value in this field assigns the pay code rule to that compare set so the result of the rule is compared with the results of other pay code rules in the same group.
Manage Existing Compare Sets
Use this procedure to delete compare sets that are no longer required.
Open the relevant pay agreement in the Pay Agreement Entry screen.
Click the Compare Sets tab to open the Compare Sets pane.
Find the compare set you want to remove, then click the delete button next to it in the list.
📌 Note: You can delete a compare set only if it has not been selected on any pay code rule. You can change the name of any existing compare set at any time.
