Validating Employee Payroll Data Replication

Data which is entered into Employee Central is replicated to the payroll system. New hire data must be replicated to the payroll system before additional payroll data, such as tax and garnishments, can be entered.

The replication status for each employee can be monitored via Data Replication Monitor.

You can find the Data Replication Monitor in the Admin Alerts tile under Payroll Integration.

There is a wide range of options that you can choose from to display exactly the information that you need in the Data Replication Monitor.

• Choose the employee’s name to see the respective employee file.
• Trigger replication manually by selecting 1 or more employees and choosing Reprocess.
• Delete entries that you no longer need for monitoring, for example, because they were created during a test phase.

As of the 1H 2026 release, payroll administrators can validate employee payroll data replication directly from the Employee Central profile using the Payroll Replication Details Full Profile card.

The Payroll Replication Details card is available only to administrators and is accessed via the Employee Central People Profile (Full Profile). By navigating to an employee’s profile, administrators can view payroll‑relevant replication information without switching to separate monitoring tools. This integrated access simplifies daily payroll monitoring and supports efficient pre‑payroll validation activities.

The card provides a consolidated overview of the replication status and history of employee master data and time‑related data transferred from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to Employee Central Payroll. By reviewing this information directly from the employee profile, administrators can quickly determine whether data replication has completed successfully before payroll processing begins.

From the Employee Central profile, the card displays the most recent execution date, time, and status for the following replication processes:

• Last Employee Master Data Replication
• Last Employee Absence Data Replication
• Last Absences to Time Off Replication
• Last Planned Working Time Replication
• Last Time Pay Components Replication

For each replication type, the system shows the date and time of the latest replication, enabling administrators to verify data freshness at a glance.

Each replication entry can show one of the following statuses:

• Successful – The data was replicated correctly without errors.
• Pending – The replication process has started but is not yet complete.
• Failed – An error occurred during replication that requires administrator investigation.
• Awaiting Processing – The data is queued and waiting for the next available replication cycle.

These statuses help administrators quickly identify data replication issues that might impact payroll accuracy.

From the Payroll Replication Details card on the Employee Central profile, administrators can navigate directly to the Data Replication Monitor using the provided link. This supports detailed analysis, error investigation, and follow‑up actions when replication issues are detected.

By using the Payroll Replication Details card, payroll administrators can verify that payroll‑relevant employee and time data has replicated correctly, detect issues early in the payroll cycle, and reduce manual checks across multiple tools. This update will help you manage data more efficiently, make informed decisions, and increase productivity.
