Replicating Organizational Assignments from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP S/4HANA

In Employee Central, organizational assignments are stored in the employees' employment information.

The employee in this example has the following organizational assignments:

• Position: Production Director

• Business Unit: Products

• Division: Manufacturing

• Department: Production US

• Cost Center: BestRun Research & Development

• Supervisor: Mya Cooper

• Job Classification: Management & Planning

Organizational assignments from Employee Central correspond to the following organizational assignments in SAP S∕4HANA:

In the SAP S∕4HANA system, the position (object type S) is the central object. All assignments are related to the position of an employee. By default, the position is linked to the following objects in the Relationships (1001) infotype.

If necessary, you can also use other relationships. You can configure them either for the replication of organizational assignments or for the replication of organizational objects from Employee Central. If you create other relationships, the relationship names and IDs differ from the default names and IDs listed here.

The default relationships are stored with the following group and subgroup entries in the T77S0 table.

You can configure what data is replicated from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to reflect the organizational assignments of your employees in the SAP S∕4HANA system.

In the SFSF EC INTEGRATION (PA_SE_IN) add-on, the replication of organizational assignments wasn't configurable. The way position relationships were created in the SAP S∕4HANA system was based on the employee's job information and job relationships in Employee Central and was hard-coded. You were able to influence the behavior only by implementing a Business Add-In (BAdI).

In the SFSF EC S4 HCM INTEGRATION (ECS4HCM) add-on, you can make entries in the following customizing activities to configure how position relationships are created:

• Select Position to Be Used for Relationship to Personnel Number

• Define Relationship Mapping for Position

• Define Job Relationship Mapping for Position

When the Select Position to Be Used for Relationship to Personnel Number customizing activity has entries, SAP S∕4HANA uses the configurable replication of organizational assignments. This has the following effects:

• The SAP S∕4HANA system ignores the following constants in the customizing activity Maintain Constant Values for Data Replication from EC:

  • EC to ERP: Omit Position-Job Rel. in Non-Config. OrgAssignm

  • EC to ERP: Omit Pos.-Cost C. Rel. in Non-Config. OrgAssignm

  • EC to ERP: Omit Pos.-Org Unit Rel. in Non-Config. OrgAssignm

  • EC to ERP: Omit Pos.-Manager Rel. in Non-Config. Org Assignm

  To exclude position relationships from the replication of organizational assignments (in particular, if you've configured the replication of organizational objects to create the relationships), don't configure them in the customizing activities Define Relationship Mapping for Position or Define Job Relationship Mapping for Position.

• The SAP S∕4HANA system doesn't call the BAdIs Enhancements for Adapting Employee Organizational Assignment (EX_SFIOM_ADAPT_EE_ORG_ASSGNMNT) and Enhancements for Adapting Employee Organizational Assignment Request (EX_SFIOM_ADAPT_EE_ORG_ASS_REQ).

Prevent relationships from being created in SAP S∕4HANA by organizational assignment replication from Employee Central if you replicate organizational objects together with their associations from Employee Central.

You can configure what position relationships are to be created in the Relationships (1001) infotype in the SAP S∕4HANA system based on the data that is stored for the employee in the Job Information and Job Relationships blocks in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.

Example

You can specify which position field the system should use to create the relationship to the employee.

You create a position to organizational unit relationship in SAP S∕4HANA to reflect the department assignments of your employees in Employee Central.

You create a position to matrix manager position relationship in SAP S∕4HANA to reflect the matrix manager assignments of your employees in Employee Central.

Here is an overview of some standard relationships that a position can have in the SAP S∕4HANA system:

You have the following configuration options:

• You can configure which Position field from the Job Information entity in Employee Central is used to create the employee position relationship in SAP S∕4HANA.

  Note

  You can use only one Position field from Employee Central in the configuration. Either the standard Position field or a custom field. You can't configure multiple Position fields.

• You can map the desired Employee Central fields to appropriate position relationships in SAP S∕4HANA:

  • position to organizational unit (S-O)

  • position to job (S-C)

  • position to cost center (S-K)

  • position to position (S-S)

• You can fill the fields Weighting Percentage (PROZT) and Priority (PRIOX) of the corresponding relationship in SAP S∕4HANA from the desired Employee Central fields.

• You can define priorities in case multiple Employee Central fields are mapped to the same relationship.

  Example

  You map the Employee Central fields Department, Division, and Business Unit to the SAP S∕4HANA relationship of the position to the organizational unit, to reflect the organizational hierarchy from Employee Central in the SAP S∕4HANA system. When Employee Central transfers all three assignments for an employee, you want to create the position to organizational unit relationship in the SAP S∕4HANA system based on the assigned department. If no department assignment is transferred, you want to create the position to organizational unit relationship based on the assigned division, and so on.

• You can map Employee Central fields to any other SAP S∕4HANA relationships that have the source field Position.
