Introduction Overview Let’s connect SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central! We will setup a plug and play integration between two cloud solutions without any development developme nt effort.
Systems SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central : cloud HR system SAP S/4HANA Cloud: cloud ERP system SAP Cloud Platform Integration: cloud middleware system
Scenario 1. Create cost center in SAP S/4HANA S/4HANA Cloud and replicate replicate to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central 2. Hire employees employees and contingent contingent workers including: including: assigning cost center assigning organizational data (division, department,…) maintaining their availability (work schedule, absences,…) 3. Replicate employees employees & contingent contingent worker 1/18
4. Replicate organizational data 5. Replicate availabilit availability y 6. Receive employee employee & contingent worker data and staff to project in SAP S/4HANA S/4HANA Cloud Note: Replication from SAP S/4HANA Cloud to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central does not require SAP Cloud Platform Integration Replication from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP S/4HANA Cloud requires SAP Cloud Platform Integration
What is SAP Cloud Platform Integration? SAP Cloud Platform Integration is the cloud middlewa middleware re of SAP that can perform mapping, routing and transformation requirement of the processed data.
Prepare & Explore Integration Best Practice Integration For best practice integration our starting points are: SAP Activate Roadmap Viewer SAP Best Practices Explorer
SAP Activate Roadmap Viewer on the roadmap viewer go to the SAP Activate Methodology for S/4HANA Cloud go to “Content” under “More” select “Integration: SuccessFactors” Read through all content

Configure SAP SuccessFac SuccessFactors tors Employee Central Chapter 4 of the set-up instructions:
Enable Integration in Provisioning Enable Intelligent Services Update Employee Central data model Define Replication Target System Enable Push Replication (optional) Enable Time off feature Adapt Picklists Picklists Setup super admin and SFAPI user Setup Contingent Worker Configure People Profile Configure Payment Information Setup Employee Availability Configure Name Format Enable Validation Checks Read through the set-up instructions for further details. After completing completing chapter 4 SAP SuccessFactors SuccessFactors Employee Employee Central is is ready for integration. integration.
Check scope items in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Steps in S/4HANA Cloud:
Go to Implementation Cockpit –> Manage your Solution View Solution Scope Search for “employee integration” Check that both scope items JB1 and 1FD are active 5/18
Configure SAP S/4HANA Cloud Activate following following communication communication arrangements arrangements under communication communication management: management: SAP_COM_0001: Replication from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to SAP
S/4HANA Cloud via SAP Cloud Platform Integration SAP_COM_0056: Replication SAP S/4HANA Cloud to SAP SuccessFactors Employee
Central directly Chapter 5 of the set-up instructions:
Go to Communication Management Create a communication user Create a communication system (your SAP Cloud Platform Integration tenant) Create a communication arrangement (SAP_COM_0001) Configure communication communication arrangement for your scenario (which companies, countries should get replicated,…) Create a communication user (your SFAPI user in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Employee Central) Create a communication system (your SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central) Create a communication arrangement (SAP_COM_0056) Configure communication communication arrangement (define replication model & output mode) After activation of communication communication arrangement arrangement SAP_COM_000 SAP_COM_0001 1 & SAP_COM_0056, SAP_COM_0056, SAP S/4HANA Cloud is ready for integration.

Configure SAP Cloud Platform Integration These are the required steps in SAP Cloud Platform Integration for the replication. 7/18
Chapter 6 of the set-up instructions:
download all relevant integration package configure all relevant integration flows deploy all integration flows SFSF_EC_to_S4HANA_Availability: sends availability data Employee Central to ERP Generic Object: sends organizational data
(division, department,…) Employee Central to ERP Employee Data and Organizational Assignment:
sends employee/contingent employee/contingent worker and assigns organizational data to employee/contingent employee/con tingent worker ERP to Employee Central Confirmation: SAP S/4HANA Cloud sends
confirmation of employee replication status back to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (employee successfully replicated, replication in process, replication failed,…) Employee Central to ERP Employee Push: newly hired employees get
replicated immediately SFSF_EC_to_S4HANA_PhotoIntegration: sends employee profile photo
Now your integration between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is setup.

Test Integration We will test:
Cost center Organizational Organizatio nal data Employee & contingent worker Availability Availabil ity
Cost center Steps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud:
Go to Master Data –> Manage Cost Centers Create new Cost Center Go to Data Replication –> Replicate by Replication Model If you want to initially replicate all cost centers, choose “Initialization” If you have performed initial replication and want to replicate newly create cost centers only, choose “Changes” Choose your data model that you define in your communication arrangement Replicate If you do not want to replicate all changes, but one specific cost center only, go to Data Replication –> Replicate by Object Selection Select Replication model & Target System Add your controlling controlling area and cost cost center Replicate Go to Data Replication Monitor –> Monitor Replication Choose replication model you can monitor your cost center replication

10/18
Steps in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central:
Go to Manage Data –> cost center Search for your cost center
11/18
Organizational data Steps in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central:
Go to Manage Data Select “Create New” to maintain your master data Department Division Business Unit Job Classification Position
Steps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud:
Go to Employee HR Master Data –> Monitor Data Replication Replication monitor shows you whether organizational data has been replicated successfully to SAP S/4HANA Cloud 12/18
Set “Status” to “03” to view all successful replication Set “Employee Central Object Object Type” to “01” to t o view status for departments Go through steps for each data object or remove filter to view all data object at once
Employee & contingent worker Steps in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central:
If you want to add a new employee, go to Add New Employee If you want to add a new contingent worker, go to Add Contingent Worker In our scenario we will hire a new employee Create a new employee and fill out complete employee profile including: cost center organizational data (division, department, position,…) availability a unique email adresse supervisor Save: A new employee is created Search for your employee in the search bar You will land on the employee’s people profile Maintain an employee photo if desired 13/18
Go to Data Replication Monitor for SAP ERP Integration Go to Status per Employee Search for your new employee Check the replication status of your employee Note: the supervisor/manager of the employee needs to be successfully replicated before the employee can be successfully replicated
Steps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud:
search for your employee in the search bar go to your employee factsheet you will see the successfully replicated employee employee with all organizational data and photo if maintained Go to Identity and Access Management Management –> Maintain Business Users Search for your employee Go to Business Partner Master –> Maintain Business Partner Search for your employee 14/18
Note: the Person ID in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central becomes the user name & identification number in SAP S/4HANA Cloud
15/18
Availability Steps in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central:
Go to your employee’ employee’s s people profile Under Job Information check if availability is maintained correctly during hire process If not, maintain time information in our scenario the work schedule is Monday – Thursday 5 hours
Steps in SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Log on with the user you want to view the timesheet of Go to HCM – Employee Self Service –> Manage my Timesheet view your timesheet You can see the 5 working hours per day Monday – Thursday Because of the public holiday on Tuesday, the employee will only have 5 working hours on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in CW18
