Employee Central Payroll H1 2022 , release provides exciting innovations across SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll H1 2022 that can help you transform your HR operations, increase employee engagement, and deliver results. 

Don’t miss out on all the great innovations and enhancements. Here are a few key updates you should consider for SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll H1 2022.

H1 – 2022 Release Schedule

• Preview Release – April 15, 2022
• Production Release – May 20, 2022

1. Enhancements to Proxy Management

We’ve enhanced the options in Proxy Management so that the access as proxy can be separated for Employee Central and Payroll Data.

In Proxy Management, the new proxy rights specify if, and to what extent, a user is allowed to act as a proxy for someone else:

• Payroll: to perform the tasks of a payroll administrator
• Private Data for Proxy Account Holder: to access private payroll data of the substituted user.

Each of these rights is required for different scenarios. The links in the Related Information section contain more information about which permission is used for which scenario.

2. Setting Up Point-to-Point Integration with Certificate-Based Authentication

The connection setup for the point-to-point replication (from Employee Central to Employee Central Payroll) can now be configured to authenticate with X.509 certificates.

The context of this enhancement is as follows:

You can now configure the point-to-point replication to work with SSL certificates (X.509 certificates). To assist with this process, the point-to-point configuration report (transaction HRSFEC_PTP_CONFIG) has been enhanced with a new option. The certificates are pushed automatically into the Employee Central Payroll system and can be imported manually into Employee Central.

Note

The prerequisite for using certificate-based authentication is that you upgrade to the latest HR Support Package. For more information, refer to KBA 3167173 .

Authentication with X.509 certificates provides stronger security compared to basic user authentication.

Configuration Requirements

Support Package EA-HR SPA6 must be installed in your system.

As of June 1, 2022, the operations team will automatically push the necessary Employee Central Payroll infrastructure for certificate handling.

3. SAP Secure Login Client for Employee Central Payroll

You can now configure single sign-on as well as multifactor authentication for Employee Central Payroll users. You do this by using the SAP Secure Login Client through the SAP GUI.

This new feature provides your users greater security when accessing the Employee Central Payroll system.

Configuration Requirements

Setting up the SAP Secure Login Client to access Employee Central Payroll will involve:

• Requesting a New SAP PKI Certificate Service Tenant
• Configuring SAP PKI Certificate Service in Secure Login Client
• Updating Secure Network Connection (SNC) Name for the Users

4. Improved Authorization Concept for Push replication in Employee Central Payroll

Push replication to Employee Central Payroll for events like Hire, Rehire or Terminate was already supported in previous releases. We’ve enhanced the push replication framework so that the user who executes the Web Service is not required to have the same authorizations as the technical user who sets up the point-to-point replication.

We built this feature to resolve the following problems:

• With the necessary setup, it was possible to immediately trigger a push replication to Employee Central Payroll for Service Event Bus events (SEB events) like Hire, Rehire or Terminate. However, in the previous state, the user who triggered the push Web Service was required to have extensive authorizations to perform the actual replication job.
• As a result, this was an authorization issue. This enhancement provides additional configuration (recommended setup) where you can choose to use the replication user for the execution of the point-to-point replication job.

Configuration Requirements

For Employee Central Payroll, Support Package EA-HR SPA6 must be installed in your system.

Please note that, while the Employee Central side of this feature is available, you can’t use the feature as a whole until the production release. Note also that the full documentation won’t be available until then either
