Configuring SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll

There are several configuration tasks required for the integration in EC Payroll:

Configuration of Actions (required for Events and Event Reasons Mapping):

• Configure SAP Infotype Actions

Mapping of Organizational Terms & Codes:

• Key Mapping of Company Code
• Key Mapping of Location
• Defining Mapping Code Value Lists

Update work schedule default or create custom field for work schedule:

• Mapping of Work Schedule
• Define Date Type

Set up Wage types:

Configure Wage Type Processing:

• Assign Non-Recurring Wage Types to Infotypes
• Assigning Wage Types to Infotypes

Mapping of organizational data for SAP ERP Financial integration:

• Replication Employee Key Mapping Table (optional)

Set up time data integration:

• Time Type Replication - Configure ECP for Time Data Integration
• Time Types - Define Mapping Code Value Lists
• Time Sheet Replication - Configure ECP for Time Sheet Integration
• Time Sheet - Define Mapping Code Value Lists

Set Up for Point to Point Replication:

• Create Technical User
• Set up Web Service Communication from ECP to EC
  1. Set up Webservices in SOAManager
  2. Set Up Connection Data
  3. Ping EC APIs
• Set up Data Sharing Configuration
• Configure EC API Query
• Pay Component and Wage Type Configuration Report Check

The step ‘Defining Mapping Code Value Lists’ includes mapping the below fields:

• Salutation
• Marital Status
• Address Type
• Contract Type
• State
• Employee Class
• Employment Type
• Events
• Event Reasons
• Pay Groups
• Payment Method
• Pay Scale Type & Area
• Pay Component Recurring/ Non-recurring
• Frequency

The mapping for all the code values is completed in the same table.

• Replication of the Employee Key Mapping Table is only required if planning to replicate data from Employee Central to EC Payroll.
• The key mapping table HRSFEC_D_EEKEYMP needs to be populated with the mapping of PERNR IDs from EC and ECP to avoid the creation of new employees after data migration. This table is automatically populated for new hires.
• Complete the below steps to complete this task:
  1. Run program PAOCF_EC_UPLOAD_EEKEY_MAPPING. Search for the download file in the ‘Filename’ field and execute the program:
  2. View the results of the uploaded file. Access table PAOCFEC_EEKEYMAP to display the details:

The configuration of work schedules is only required if a custom field is created for Work Schedules. If the Time Off module is not activated, but work schedules should be replicated from Employee Central to the Employee Central Payroll system, then we recommend creating a custom specific field with an associated picklist.

There are 3 sub-steps for this configuration:

1. Refining Default Logic of Work Schedule
2. Define Extensibility Mapping
3. Time-Off Work Schedules: Defining Key Mapping

Complete this setting if using the custom field Work Schedule.

1. Go to IMG Menu: SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Personnel → Management → Integration Settings for SuccessFactors Employee Central → Payroll → Extensibility → Define Extensibilty of Field Assignment.
2. Enter and Save the below table entries:

The following setting is only required if using the work schedules from Time Off:

1. Go to IMG Menu: SAP Customizing Implementation Guide → Personnel Management → Integration Settings for SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll → Assignment of Code Values → For Point-to-Point Replication → Maintain Code Value Mapping
2. On the Change View "Code value mapping properties (customer)": Overview screen, create new entries for the work schedule rule:

   Data type in Employee Central	ISO code	End Date	Start Date	Alt. list	Country	Mode
   WORK_SCHEDULE_RULE	US	12/31/9990	01/01/1800		Check	Mapping via customer table or identical mapping

3. On the Change View "Code value mapping (customer)": Overview screen, create new entries for the work schedules you want to map to a different Employee Central Payroll work schedule rule key.

The steps for Time Type Replication and Time Sheet Replication are optional based on whether time types from Time-Off and Time Sheet are required for replication.

Before replicating Time Types for Time Off, ensure the below:

1. Time data configuration is set up the same in EC and EC Payroll.
2. The below checks should be turned off in the Employee Central Payroll backend:
   • Allow Overlapping Time Infotypes
   • Disable Quota Deductions
   • Disable absence input checks
   • Permit Attendances/Absences to be Recorded Without Clock Times
3. Time types must be mapped to absence types in EC Payroll if using Time Off functionality:
   • On the Change View "code mapping (customer)": Overview screen, create new entries for the time types you want to map to a different Employee Central Payroll key:

Time Sheet replication is only required when you want to replicate the time pay types from Time Sheet.

Before replicating Time Types for Time Off, ensure the below:

1. Check Entry Permissibility per Infotype - Enable multiple entries of the same wage type to avoid error messages with replication.
2. Check Wage Type Characteristics - For all wage types used in the replication of employee time valuation results, you must verify the following:
   • Under Number/unit, that the Time unit/meas. field is filled with the unit Hours.
   • Under Input combination, you must ensure you make the settings required to allow Number/unit and disallow Amount.

Time Pay Types must be mapped to time wage types (infotype 2010) in EC Payroll:

• On the Change View "code mapping (customer)": Overview screen, create new entries for the time pay types you want to map to a different Employee Central Payroll key:

When using Payroll UI Mashups, activate the required Business Functions in Employee Central Payroll following the steps below:

1. Access Transaction code SFW5.
2. On the Switch Framework: Change Business Function Status screen, select the following entry (by selecting the Planned Status column) and then choose the Activate Changes button:

   Business Function HCM_PAO_CI_1 requires the following Business Functions:

   HCM, Administrative Services 04 (HCM_ASR_CI_4)

   HCM, Administrative Services 03 (HCM_ASR_CI_3)

   HCM, Administrative Services 02 (HCM_ASR_CI_2)

   HCM, Administrative Services 01 (HCM_ASR_CI_1)

3. An information dialog box is displayed. Choose Continue.
4. Choose Back.

After completing this unit you should now be able to:

• Recall the master data integration settings in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll
• Recall the steps to configure Point to Point integration between SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll
• Access any useful and/or relevant resources

Thank you for taking this unit! Please revisit any sections that do not have a check-mark to complete.
