2.Identity Authentication Services for Employee Central Payroll Using SuccessFactors Upgrade Center

Identity Authentication Services (IAS) for Employee Central payroll systems is now simplified and automated by using the SuccessFactors Upgrade Center.

SAP Cloud Identity Services – Identity Authentication is a public cloud service for secure authentication and single sign-on for SAP cloud and on-premise applications. It can act as an identity provider or be used as a proxy to integrate with the existing single sign-on infrastructure of a customer.

Previously, customers had to follow a number of procedures and manual steps to enable Identity Authentication services for Employee Central Payroll. We’ve built this feature to simplify the steps where customer can upgrade directly within the Upgrade Center.

Configuration Requirements

• Employee Central Payroll is enabled from Provisioning.
• SAP System Configuration is configured with payroll system and client.
• Payroll System Configuration is configured with the SAP System configuration set.
• SuccessFactors is already integrated with Identity Authentication Services.

In the current release, you can go to the Upgrade Center and select the Employee Central Payroll system to be integrated with SAP Identity Authentication Service and upgrade without any manual steps.

3.Replication of Planned Working Time After Termination Date

You can now use the new Termination Offset field to configure the length of time during which the planned working time should be replicated to the Substitutions (2003) infotype after the termination date of an employee.

In many countries/regions, there’s a legal obligation to process planned working time after termination in payroll. We built this feature so that customers can customize the replication of Planned Working Time Period to be compliant with the legislation of the country/region.

Let’s take an example: An employee is terminated on June 18. You specify 2 months in the Termination Offset field. In this case, the replication continues until the end of August plus one day, which means September 1.

4.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 be configured to authenticate with X.509 certificates.

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. This feature had limited availability in the last release H1 2022. In this release (H2 2022), this feature has been made available across most data centers and some of the restrictions have been removed.

You use this program to set up the connection between an SAP payroll system and Employee Central that is needed to replicate employee master data and time data using the point-to-point (PTP) integration. You run this report by using transaction HRSFEC_PTP_CONFIG.

You can select the following options:

• Set connection Data
• Ping Employee Central APIs.

The output of the report depends on the selected mode. For more information, refer to the documentation of the report.
