Preparing Systems for Organizational Data Migration and Replication from SAP S/4HANA to Employee Central

1. Is Employee Central already set up?

   For more information, see the Implementing Employee Central Core implementation guide. Find the most current version of this guide on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/hr_ec.

2. Is the middleware already set up?
3. Do you meet the minimum setup requirements for SAP S∕4HANA systems?

   Required Software Component Versions and Support Packages

   Component	Required Software Component Version
   SAP S/4HANA (on-premise edition) or SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition	The following software component versions are required in your system: S4CORE 100 (SAP S/4HANA 1511 or a higher version/feature pack) As of SAP S/4HANA 2022: S4HCM 100 For SAP S/4HANA releases before 2022: EA-HR 608 (initial delivery version, no SP required) The minimum version of EA-HR 608 ensures that the integration works, but you probably need to implement more SAP Notes. Which SAP Notes are required depends on the exact SP level available in your system. To prevent the extra effort caused by investigating the required SAP Notes and by implementing them, we recommend that you use at least EA-HR 608 SP21.
   Integration add-on for SAP S∕4HANA and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central	PA_SE_IN 100 SP31 Note Only this newest PA_SE_IN support package ensures that all features described in this document are available in your system.

   For more information, refer to SFSF EC INTEGRATION 1210 in the Software Download Center. You can access the Software Download Center from SAP for Me by choosing Systems and Provisioning.

   Also see SAP Note 2273108.

4. Are the required SAP Notes installed?

   Make sure that you have the up-to-date version of each SAP Note, which you can find in SAP for Me at https://me.sap.com/home. Check the LOD-EC-INT application areas to find SAP Notes that provide bug fixes, which are relevant for data replication from SAP S∕4HANA to Employee Central.

   Here are some important SAP Notes providing enhancements and changes to the system behavior, which aren't contained in the minimum version of the PA_SE_IN 100 software component mentioned previously:

   Required SAP Notes

   SAP Note Number	Title	Issue Corrected by the SAP Note	Correction Will Be Contained in Support Package
   1043195	Configuration of Web service runtime	You don't know how to set up the technical configuration of the Web service runtime environment in your SAP S∕4HANA system and how to check it.	none

5. Have you already installed the SAP GUI? If not, download it from http://support.sap.com/swdc.

You can transfer data from SAP S∕4HANA to Employee Central using different communication channels.

• Using CSV-based template files and the manual import framework in Employee Central

  To use the manual import framework, go to the Admin Center and choose the Import and Export Data tool.

• Using a synchronous Web service call and the middleware that is available for data transfer from SAP S∕4HANA to Employee Central.

Web Service-Based Organizational Data Extraction

To transfer organizational data using a synchronous Web service call, make these settings for the Organizational Data Extraction(ECPAO_OM_OBJECT_EXTRACTION) program:

• Choose a transformation template group that uses the Web Service Transfer communication channel.
• Choose the communication channel Web Service Transfer.

Grant the business permissions to the users who run the migration of organizational data to Employee Central.

Organizational Management or OM data (such as positions, business units, departments, or job classifications) is managed in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and replicated to SAP S/4HANA.

Employee organizational assignments, such as employee-department or employee-job classification, are managed in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and replicated to SAP S/4HANA.

In the SAP S/4HANA system, the position (object type S) is the central object. All organizational assignments are related to the position of an employee.
