Describing Key SAP SuccessFactors Integration - Employee Central Payroll 2H 2025 Features and Enhancements

We've created a new report to automate OAuth configuration. This report simplifies the setup process by reading the certificates and importing them to the relevant transactions in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll, reducing manual steps.

You can use report RP_HRSFEC_PAY_OAUTH_CONFIG to automate the OAuth 2.0 configuration required to integrate SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll. The report creates or recreates the technical users, SAML identity providers, OAuth 2.0 clients, and certificate mappings. It then uploads the required certificates to the trust manager.

We delivered this report to increase efficiency and minimize errors, making it valuable for users who frequently deal with OAuth configuration issues.

You must have installed the relevant support package in your SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll system.

• SAP Human Capital Management for SAP S/4HANA (S4HCM 101): support package 27
• SAP Human Capital Management for SAP ERP HCM (EA-HR EHP8): support package F1

Please note that you can't use the feature as a whole until the support package mentioned has been released. The full documentation will be made available then too.

• The User Status field is exclusively for the Employee access user type. Employees need at least one active employment to access data from their inactive employments in the system. They must also be able to log in to the system.
• We highly recommend that you create new permission roles for inactive users. And ensure that the permissions you grant to employees are appropriate. For instance, you might allow them to view but not edit the people profile of their inactive employments.
• To enable employees to access inactive employments, also ensure that users with inactive employments are part of relevant permission groups. Otherwise, the Inactive Users option won't work.
• This enhancement pertains to data access controlled by the RBP framework.
• To access inactive employments, employees can log in using their active employment. They can then select the Context Switcher on the page header to switch to one of their inactive employments.
• Before granting permissions to inactive users, ensure that the permissions come from products and modules that support this feature.
• To determine if a user belongs to a permission group, use the User Group Search function in the RBP Troubleshooting admin tool.
• You can't use this capability on mobile apps.

After selecting Employee, you see the User Status field.

If you select Inactive for User Status in the Grant Access to step, the target population consists of the granted users themselves.
