Introducing Process Overview

Step 1:

Check if the Customer has already set up the systems required to run Employee Central Payroll, such as:

• Is Employee Central already set up?

• Check if the Customer Systems are Prepared to Integrate with Employee Central

Step 2:

Configure the Employee Central system so that it can communicate data to Employee Central Payroll, such as:

• Making settings in Provisioning

• Making settings in the Admin Tool

• Uploading the Picklists

• Enabling the API

• Setting permissions for the API user

• Set up Employee Central to Integrate with Employee Central Payroll

Step 3:

Identify which user roles are required in Employee Central Payroll and the users that you need to create for your customer. Create these users in the Payroll system and assign the correct user roles to them.

• Maintain Users in Employee Central Payroll and SAP Identity Management (IDM)

Step 4:

Check the information provided in the Master Data Replication Information section as it is crucial for the setting up of the Employee Central Payroll system and for the manual mapping of the data in Employee Central Payroll in step 5, 6, and 7.

• Master Data Replication Information

Step 5:

Configure all required settings in Employee Central Payroll Customizing to be able to use Employee Central Payroll. This is essential if your customer doesn't have an existing Employee Central Payroll system. For example:

• Defining the enterprise structure

• Defining settings in Personnel Administration

• Defining settings in Payroll

Various factors, such as the country in which your customer's company is located and your company's line of business will influence how you set up Employee Central Payroll.

Be aware that some of the names for data fields or entities in Employee Central differ from the ones in Employee Central Payroll. You have to take this into account while performing customizing activities. To do so, first read the Master Data Replication Information chapter as pointed out in Step 4.

• Set up Employee Central Payroll

Step 6:

Set up Master Data Integration

The primary master data of an employee is maintained in Employee Central. However, this data is required in Employee Central Payroll to be able to perform payroll features. Therefore, the data is replicated from Employee Central to Employee Central Payroll.

Set up Master Data Integration

Step 7:

Perform the manual mapping activities within Employee Central Payroll.

You need to map some of the data manually because it can't be mapped automatically by the system.

To be able to do so, you need the information that you've learned in Step 4. It is very crucial that you check the information provided in the Master Data Replication Information chapter in order to understand which data needs to be mapped manually. Otherwise Employee Central Payroll cannot perform the payroll functions.
