Example: Add external_code into EMPLOYEECLASS picklist.
The employeeclass external_code maintained in picklist will be used to map to employee group key of EC Payroll during employee replication process.
*Key mapping detail is covered in EC Payroll configuration steps in the later slides.
As per the table below, EmployeeClass "Employee" has external_code "M" maintained and this external_code will get transferred over to EC Payroll for mapping.

Please check Define Mapping Code Value Lists before creating picklists.
For the mapping please consider: Employee Central codes that are longer than 10 characters are cut off during replication and only the first 10 characters are available for mapping in the EC Payroll system. Picklist entries must be in CAPITAL LETTERS and/or Numbers (0, 1, 2, 3….9).
You need to create and upload the relevant picklists for the following Employee Central HRIS fields:
- payScaleType
- payScaleArea
- employment-type
- employee-class
- processType (Direct Deposit: using values B = bonus, E = expenses, P = payroll)
- STATE_XXX (where XXX represents the relevant ISO country code) in employee address, for example STATE_USA)
- For most countries, you must assign a picklist for STATE (or the equivalent in the related country such as COUNTY or REGION) in the address details.
- accountType (SG = Savings, 03 = Checking)
- salutation (optional)
- ecMaritalStatus (optional)
Using the Check Tool to Solve Issues
Get an overview of potential problems and errors in your configuration that you can try to solve yourself before you contact Product Support about an issue.
Context
The check tool provides an overview of the issues found in the system. New checks that are being added in a new release go through a first initial run to return a result. After the initial run, checks are run on a regular basis (at least monthly). We recommend you open the check tool after you upgrade to a new release to see whether issues have been found by new checks.
In addition to these runs performed by the system, you can also run individual checks after you make changes to the system, for example, after updating data models or picklists. For more information, refer to the application-specific documentation.
Prerequisites

- You have the following Administrator Permissions→ Check Tool permissions:
- Access Check Tool authorizes users to access the tool.
- Allow Configuration Export authorizes users to attach configuration information to a ticket.
Allow Check Tool Quick Fix authorizes users to run quick fixes for the checks that have this feature. A quick fix can be used to immediately correct any issues found by that check.
