Defining Mapping Types for Employee Data Replication

To set up the data mapping, we offer the following tools in the Business Integration builder. These tools help you to easily map your data for seamless integration.

We deliver more than 20 predefined EC entities with standard settings that are technically required for the data replication, such as the following:

• You can assign a Compound Employee API segment. This segment contains the employee data associated with it.
• Characteristic of EC objects, such as whether the data has a validity date and is effective-dated, can be specified by specifying the corresponding EC start and end date fields.
• Infotype-specific settings let you specify how infotypes are processed during the replication. For example, infotypes with table structures need special processing to handle the table structures, and infotype subtypes with different time constraints need special processing to handle subtypes with different time constraints.

You can also create your own EC entities to cover custom EC entities, which you must replicate to standard or custom infotypes.

EC entity standard basic settings are the following:

1. EC records of entity pay component recurring always have a start date and that’s why this is an effective-dated entity. Hence, the flag Effective dated is and must be marked.
2. In the fields Start Date in EC and End Date in EC, the technical name of the EC start and end date fields are specified. Both fields are used during the infotype replication processing to determine the begin and end date of the corresponding mapped infotype record.
3. The corresponding CE API segment is paycompensation_recurring.
4. The pay component recurring information is transferred to SAP S/4HANA Infotype Basic Pay 0008.
   Note

   • Infotype 0008 consists of a table structure that contains all wage type information. We have a special replication logic available to handle this.
   • Therefore, if you want to replicate pay components to this infotype under Infotype-specific settings, it is necessary to specify the processing mode as Repetitive Structure Mapping.

Sample mapping content is available for more than 20 predelivered standard EC entities and more than 15 standard SAP S/4HANA infotypes with focus on infotypes required by the SAP S/4HANA payroll & tax process.

Generic mapping and localized mapping content is available for more than 28 countries/regions.

1. Grant necessary SAP S/4HANA permissions and activate relevant inbound and outbound web services for successful data replication and processing from Employee Central, referencing SAP Help documentation for roles and service lists.
2. Enable the new infotype framework for PA/PD integration to improve organizational data replication performance and message handling; note that dynamic actions are not supported in Business Integration Builder (BIB)-based replication.
3. Configure integration between Organizational Management (OM) and Personnel Administration (PA) to synchronize organizational assignments and relationships, ensuring consistent updates across infotype 1001 and 0001.
4. Decide and configure FTSD for initial data replication, determining which records are transferred from Employee Central; use country/region or assignment-specific FTSDs for phased go-live.
5. Choose between organizational assignment or organizational object replication for position relationships, ensuring settings do not duplicate relationships and considering pros and cons of each approach for hierarchy and relationship management in SAP S/4HANA.
