Employee Payment Methods

In the SAP SuccessFactors system, every employee must have a main payment method assigned to an employee record. Even if the employee only receives a payroll check, that must be entered into their record.

Employees can have multiple payment methods but only one main payment.

Employee Cost Center

In the SAP SuccessFactors system, every employee must have a cost center integrated with financial accounting, which is assigned to their employee record to track their personnel expenses.

Individual payments can also be associated with an alternate cost center.

Pay Component Assignment to General Ledger

In the SAP SuccessFactors system, pay components are indirectly mapped to general ledger accounts via symbolic accounts.

This mapping is relevant for the pay component values and having them in financial accounting.

These screenshots show an example of a pay component mapping to symbolic account.

Third-Party Remittance

In the SAP SuccessFactors system, the Third-Party Remittance functionality is used to make vendor payments.
