[SAP](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/self-paced-videos-of-sap-successfactors/)
SuccessFactors** Employee Central** **Payroll H1 2023** 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](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/successfactors-online-training-videos/)
are a few key updates you should consider for SuccessFactors **Employee Central 
Payroll H1 2023.**

## H1 – 2023 Release Schedule

 * **Preview Release – April 28, 2023**
 * **Production Release – June 02, 2023**

## 1. Enhanced Application Log for Push Replication (SLG1)

The application log now contains data about push replication.

Push replication happens immediately and is useful for job events like hire, rehire,
and termination. It is now possible to analyze technical errors, for **example**,
missing authorizations that occur during push replication runs using the **Application
Log** (transaction SLG1) in the Employee Central Payroll system.

With this enhancement, log data about the push replication is now available in the**
Application log** (SLG1). Analysing errors is easier and faster.

## Configuration Requirements

For Employee Central Payroll, Synchronization Support Package EA-HR SPB9 must be
installed in your system.

Please note that you can’t use the feature as a whole until the support package 
mentioned has been released. The full documentation will be made available then 
too.

## What’s Changed

How It Looks Now⌊Application Log for push replication⌉

In the current version, data about the push replication is available in the **Application
log** (SLG1). In addition, the log shows errors for the relevant users provided 
by the push replication framework: the user who executes the Web Service or the 
technical user who sets up the point-to-point replication.

**How It Looked Before**

In the previous version, the **Application log** did not include data about the 
push replication.

## 2. Enhanced Alert Management in Payroll Control Center

The My Alerts application in Payroll Control Center is enhanced to support filtering
of alerts based on alert status and provide the **Key Indicator** and **Details**
columns for alerts marked as **Resolved**.

We made the following enhancements to My Alerts:

 * Validation rules are now sorted by the number of assigned** alerts, unassigned
   alerts, and resolved** alerts in descending order. Payroll administrators can
   also filter validation rules based on alert status and search terms.
 * In both worklists, the **Resolved Alerts** column is added after the **Not Assigned
   Alerts** [column](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-training-videos/)
   to provide the number of alerts that have been marked as resolved in each payroll
   process. **Note: **When the payroll administrator applies the proposed solution
   for an alert, they mark the alert as **Solution Applied**.If the payroll administrator
   doesn’t update the employee’s data but considers the alert as a false alarm, 
   they mark the alert as **Resolved**. **Employee Central Payroll H1 2023**

These enhancements improve the user experience of alert management for payroll administrators.

### Configuration Requirements

For Employee Central Payroll, Synchronization Support Package SPB9 must be installed
in your system.

## 3. Additional Pay Types for Payment Information

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payment Information allows you to configure 
and use additional Pay Types.

These additional Pay Types allow you to enable a country/region-specific replication
of employee’s payment information to Employee Central Payroll to cover country/region-
specific business requirements. **Employee Central Payroll H1 2023**

### What’s Changed

Currently, in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payment Information, you can configure
and use eight additional pay types as well as the new pay type ‘Main Bonus’ along
with the available standard pay types.

Previously, in SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payment Information had only **
four pay types**.

## 4. New Onboarding (Standard Event) for Payroll Tasks

We have added a new **Onboarding (Standard Event)** for New Zealand and the United
Kingdom.

We’ve added this feature to support specific onboarding tasks for your Payroll administrator.

**Example**

If an employee/onbordee chooses tax code STC (tailored tax code) in the onboarding
form, the Payroll administrator needs to start a manual process to create the infotype
P0313 in the Employee Central Payroll system. For this initiation, a payroll task
needs to be available in Employee Central, so that the Payroll administrator can
easily find it and take the necessary action.

### Configuration Requirements

For Employee Central Payroll, Synchronization Support Package **SPB9** must be installed
in your system.

## Role-Based Permission Prerequisites

You have set the **User Permissions >> Payroll Permissions >>Payroll Administration**.

## What’s Changed

In the current version for New Zealand and the United Kingdom, you configure [Onboarding](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-sample-videos/)(
Standard Event) under Payroll Tasks in Payroll Unified Configuration.⌊Configure 
Payroll Tasks for Onboarding (Staneard Event) in Payroll Unified Configuration⌉

## 5. New Mapping Logic for Public Holiday Enhancements in an SAP Payroll System

We’ve introduced a new mapping logic to support the replication of two new SAP SuccessFactors
Employee Central Time Management objects to the **Substitution** (2003) infotype,
namely **Holiday Category** and **Holiday Work Pattern**. Previously, the mapping
logic consisted in mapping the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Time Management
public holiday classes [FULL](https://www.youtube.com/@AnipeAbraham), HALF, and 
NONE to the public holiday classes 1, 2 and 0 and setting the payroll entity day
type to 0 when the payroll entity holiday class was 0, otherwise to 1 in an SAP 
payroll system.

We built this feature because of the changes made in SAP SuccessFactors Employee
Central Time Management and to provide a more flexible way of configuring public
holidays in an [SAP](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Jlb11xrw6mXt0qshfL0SQ) payroll
system. **Employee Central Payroll H1 2023**

### Configuration Requirements

For an SAP payroll system, Synchronization Support Package SPB9 must be installed
in your system.

### What’s Changed

In the current version, we deliver the following customizing in an SAP payroll system::

 1. For the new Employee Central entity **HolidayCategory**, we deliver a new configuration
    in which you define the properties and map it to the payroll entity **Holiday Class**
    as illustrated here:⌊Properties for Holiday Category in table T77SFEC_CVPROPC⌉⌊
    Mapping for Holiday Categoty to the payroll entity Holiday Class (ERP Code value)
    in table T77SFEC_CVMAPC⌉
 2. For the combination of the Employee Central entities **HolidayCategory** and **
    Holiday Work Pattern**, we deliver the two new customizing tables where you can
    define the properties and [map](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/employee-central-payroll-content/)
    the combination to the payroll entity **Day Type** as illustrated here:⌊Properties
    for Holiday Work Pattern in table T77SFEC_CVPROP2C⌉⌊Mapping for 2 EC entities Holiday
    Work Pattern and Holiday Class to the Payroll entity (ERP code value) Day Type 
    in table T77SFEC_CVMAP2C⌉

**How It Looks Now**

In the previous version, it was not possible to flexibly configure public holidays.
Each public holiday was assigned to a **Holiday Class**. The allowed values were
FULL, HALF and NONE. In an SAP [payroll](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/employee-central-payroll-h1-2022/)
system, the allowed mapping values for **Holiday Class** were 1, 2 and 0 and for**
Day Type** only 0 and 1 according to the value of the holiday class. It was not 
possible to specify other values than these fixed ones.
