EC to ECP Point-to-Point Integration

The EC (Employee Central) to ECP (Employee Central Payroll) Point-to-Point Integration is a direct integration between SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) and Employee Central Payroll (ECP) that allows seamless data transfer between the two systems. The integration ensures that payroll-related data maintained in Employee Central gets automatically synchronized with Employee Central Payroll without the need for manual intervention or data duplication. Its key components are:

Employee Master Data Replication: Employee data such as personal information, employment details, compensation, tax information, and other payroll-relevant data maintained in Employee Central automatically replicated to Employee Central Payroll. This data includes information like new hires, employee terminations, transfers and promotions, and salary adjustments.

Organizational Data Replication: Organizational structure details such as department, position, and cost centers from EC are also replicated to ECP, ensuring the payroll system has accurate data for cost allocation and reporting purposes.

Time Data Integration: Time data such as attendance, leave balances, overtime, and absences recorded in EC can be integrated and transferred to ECP, ensuring that the payroll calculations reflect accurate time data for employees.

Payroll Result Replication: Once payroll is processed in ECP, net pay, taxes, and deductions are replicated to EC, where employees can access their payslips through the self-service portal.
