You can extract compensation planning data from SuccessFactors BizX and transfer it to the SAP ERP system so that it is available for payroll.

Prerequisites

  • In SuccessFactors BizX, the application programming interfaces (APIs) have been made available for importing compensation data. For this, contact the Professional Service team, or the Customer Support team provided by SuccessFactors.

  • In SuccessFactors BizX, you use suitable form templates for compensation planning, which provide the data of your choice.

  • In SuccessFactors BizX, you use suitable ad hoc reports to extract the compensation data.

    The ad hoc reports must contain the columns for the form template ID and the user ID. The column for the user ID must have the property Constrainable. When configuring the ad hoc reports, also ensure that they extract data only from completed forms.

    Recommendation Recommendation

    Contact the Professional Service team provided by SuccessFactors to create suitable ad hoc reports.

    End of the recommendation.

  • The Professional Service team at SuccessFactors BizX has provided you with the following information:

    • ID of the ad hoc report

    • IDs of the fields contained in the ad hoc report

  • Compensation planning is complete in SuccessFactors BizX.

  • In Customizing for the integration add-on for SAP ERP HCM and SuccessFactors BizX, you have made the settings under   Integration Scenario for Compensation Data   Transfer of Data from SuccessFactors BizX to SAP ERP  .

Features

Data Import

You can use the report Import of Employee's Planned Compensation Data (RH_SFI_IMPORT_COMP_DATA) to import the data into the SAP ERP system.

For more information about the data import report, see Customizing for the integration add-on, under   Integration Scenario for Compensation Data   Transfer of Data from SuccessFactors BizX to SAP ERP   Import Compensation Data into SAP ERP  . The report is also located in the user menu for the role SuccessFactors Integration: Compensation Data Import and Activation (SAP_HR_SFI_COMP_DATA_IMPORT).

Activation of Data for Payroll

You can use the report Activation of Employee's Planned Compensation Data (RH_SFI_ACTIVATE_COMP_DATA) to activate the data in the SAP ERP system.

For more information about the data activation report, see Customizing for the integration add-on, under   Integration Scenario for Compensation Data   Transfer of Data from SuccessFactors BizX to SAP ERP   Activate Compensation Data for Payroll  . The report is also located in the user menu for the role SuccessFactors Integration: Compensation Data Import and Activation (SAP_HR_SFI_COMP_DATA_IMPORT).

Imported and Activated Compensation Data

In Customizing, you determine which compensation data you want to import from the SuccessFactors BizX system and activate for payroll in the SAP ERP system. To do so, proceed as follows:

  • You use implementations of the Business Add-In (BAdI) Activation of Compensation Data Imported from SFSF (HRSFI_B_COMP_DATA_ACTIVATION) to define how compensation data imported from the SuccessFactors BizX system is to be processed in payroll in the SAP ERP system.

  • You define field mappings that map the SuccessFactors BizX fields to the SAP ERP fields of your choice.

    Example Example

    You can create a field mapping that comprises all fields that you need for bonus payments and another mapping with all fields for salary adjustments.

    End of the example.

  • You group the field mappings in field sets to import and activate all required compensation data collectively.

  • You can also use implementations of the BAdI Customizing Information Needed for Compensation Activation (HRSFI_B_COMP_ACTIVATION_CUST) to determine additional data from the SAP ERP system that you need to activate the imported compensation data but that cannot be imported from the SuccessFactors BizX system (for example, the effective date to determine when a bonus or salary adjustment is to come into effect).

  • If you need additional fields for the activation, whose content cannot be imported from SuccessFactors BizX and cannot be determined in the SAP ERP system, you can also define that the field of your choice is shown on the selection screen of the report Activation of Employee's Planned Compensation Data (RH_SFI_ACTIVATE_COMP_DATA). Then the user who calls the report can make the relevant entries.

Cleanup of Internal Tables After Data Import and Activation

You can delete entries that the reports RH_SFI_IMPORT_COMP_DATA and RH_SFI_ACTIVATE_COMP_DATA have generated in database tables of the SAP ERP system. To do so, you use the report Cleanup of Internal Tables After Importing and Activating Comp. Data (RH_SFI_CLEANUP_COMP_IMP). For example, you can use the report to clean up the tables after importing incorrect data.

For more information about the report, see Customizing for the integration add-on, under   Integration Scenario for Compensation Data   Transfer of Data from SuccessFactors BizX to SAP ERP   Cleanup Internal Tables in SAP ERP After Import and Activation  . The report is also located in the user menu for the role SuccessFactors Integration: Compensation Data Import and Activation (SAP_HR_SFI_COMP_DATA_IMPORT).

Error Handling

You can use an application for monitoring the transfer of data to track and process errors that occurred when extracting or transferring data.
