Functions are predefined formulas provided by SAP Commissions that you can use in your compensation rules to calculate and specify values or conditions. In general, functions fall into groups based on their use.

For example, a group of functions, (called in Return type: Date) is provided as shown below.

Thanks, for reading it till the end. 🙏

 Note
    • I recommend best practice calling functions inside the formula but not directly in a rule.
    • Rule should have a formula which is referencing to the functions inside the expression. 
    • If there is a business logic change request, use the existing formula; create a new version through referencing.
    • No Hard-coding in expressions legal moves.
