Employee Central Integration with SAP Payroll ECC

Bridging HR and Payroll with Seamless, Secure, and Scalable Integration.

For E-commerce Success

Background

The organization used SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) for HR and SAP ECC for payroll. This setup required reliable integration to keep records accurate and payroll-ready, while avoiding delays, compliance issues, and manual effort.

Accurate and timely data transfer between EC and ECC was critical for payroll readiness.

Weak integration created compliance risks and increased manual workload.

Business Problem

Disconnected systems caused inconsistencies in employee data, resulting in payroll errors and delayed processing cycles.

Payroll Inaccuracies and Delays

Disconnected systems created inconsistencies in employee data, leading to errors and delayed payroll runs.

Manual Workload

 HR teams spent significant time reconciling and correcting records across platforms, increasing human error risk.

Mapping Complexity

 Translating EC data into multiple SAP Infotypes required detailed rules to ensure consistency.

Integration Gaps

The lack of timely, reliable integration reduced overall agility, negatively impacting payroll accuracy and the employee experience.

Technical Challenges

  • Aligning HR and payroll data to ensure personal details, job changes, and pay components flow accurately between EC and ECC.
  • Maintaining data quality so that employee records remain consistent, synchronized, and compliant across both systems.
  • Securing sensitive payroll information through reliable, encrypted transmission to prevent errors and data breaches
  • Supporting payroll readiness by delivering structured, complete information that minimizes manual effort for payroll teams.
  • Handling workforce changes in real time so hires, promotions, or exits are reflected quickly without duplication or delays.
  • Established a consistent way to connect HR and payroll data so that employee information flowed smoothly between systems.
  • Introduced checks and balances to ensure information was accurate before reaching payroll teams.
  • Put in place safe and reliable methods to transfer sensitive employee data, protecting both the business and its workforce
  • Structured the data so payroll teams could process it directly without needing extra manual adjustments.
  • Ensured workforce changes like new hires or role changes were quickly reflected in payroll, reducing delays.

Solution

Results & Impact

Data consistency between EC and ECC reduced errors, ensuring employees were paid correctly and on time.
Automation cut down manual reconciliation, freeing HR and payroll teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
Reliable data flows and audit trails enhanced governance, reducing regulatory risk.

Conclusion

Seamless integration between EC and ECC is essential to ensure payroll readiness in hybrid system landscapes.

Addressing data accuracy and synchronization upfront reduces payroll risks and strengthens compliance.

Secure, automated, and monitored data flows eliminate manual bottlenecks and operational inefficiencies.

A well-structured integration framework not only supports payroll today but also builds scalability for future HR transformation.
