• Key Concepts: 
  Matrix segment is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Compensation Management (PA-EC) component. It allows users to define a matrix of compensation elements, such as salary, bonus, and stock options, for each employee. The matrix segment is used to define the compensation structure for each employee and can be used to compare different compensation packages. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the matrix segment feature, users must first define the compensation elements they want to include in the matrix. This can be done by selecting from a list of predefined elements or by creating custom elements. Once the elements have been defined, users can then create a matrix for each employee. The matrix will contain the compensation elements and their associated values. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a matrix segment, it is important to consider how the different elements will interact with each other. For example, if one element is increased, it may affect other elements in the matrix. It is also important to consider how changes in the matrix will affect an employee’s total compensation package.
