SAP® SuccessFactors® Employee Central Integration with SAP® SuccessFactors® Employee Central Payroll

The purpose of this book is to provide a detailed overview of the integrations between SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll. After reading this book, the reader should have a good knowledge of the functionality that is delivered by SAP SuccessFactors.

The target audience for this book can be grouped into the following:
•Customers that are looking to implement, are currently implementing, or are already live with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll that wish to have a better understanding of the delivered features and integrations to ensure they are following best practices and avoiding unnecessary customization.
•Consultants that will be working with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll who need to understand the delivered functionality so that they can follow best practices and use standard functionality when implementing the solution for their clients.

This book does not cover the configuration of the integrations. Rather it is intended to give a detailed look at how the integrations should work once they are configured and to cover each of the specific integration use cases that are available.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) is a user friendly and cloud based HR system of record used to store core employee data. Employee Central is used to conduct tasks by employees, managers, HR Administrators, and payroll professionals. EC is a global and flexible solution that allows companies of all sizes to meet their HR needs. EC is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that is hosted by SAP SuccessFactors. EC is a multi-tenant solution which makes it so that all customers are automatically on the latest release without having to go through costly and time consuming upgrades. The updates are delivered to customers on a quarterly basis which allows significant innovation in a short period.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll (ECP) is a cloud based system used to process payroll that is directly integrated within EC. ECP uses the global and world class SAP HCM Payroll engine as the basis for payroll processing. ECP is hosted by SAP Cloud, so customers do not have to invest in expensive upfront hardware or take on the additional responsibilities of maintaining and securing the system. This contributes directly to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared to on-premise payroll models and makes it a viable system for much smaller companies than those that used SAP HCM. Data is automatically replicated from EC to ECP and users can access payroll specific functions – including running payroll, updating payroll data, and viewing pay statements – from within Employee Central.

There are different tools that are used for SAP ERP HCM Payroll integration (such as SAP Cloud Platform Integration or Boomi middleware instead of Point to Point replication), but the user interfaces and functionality explained in this book are largely the same. **
