Specific communication destinations are available for some Personnel Management components and Personnel Administration country-specific components.

Benefits (PA-BN)

When evaluating retirement benefits for employees, service-related data is sent to an external system using IDocs. The Benefits system places the IDocs in a special port. External systems can collect the IDocs from this port. The external systems evaluate the retirement benefits based on the transferred data and then send them with an inbound IDoc back to the SAP system.

There are no special functions from the Benefits system side to protect this data.

Enterprise Compensation Management (PA-EC)

Using IDocs, you communicate with banks and brokers through the SAP Business Connector. The transferred data must be encrypted.

For more information, see the documentation for the following reports:

●     RHECM_GRANT_IDOC_OUT (Export LTI Grant Data)

●     RHECM_PARTICIPANT_IDOC_OUT (Export LTI Participant Data)

●     RHECM_EXERCISE_IDOC_IN (Import LTI Exercise Data)

Compensation Management (PA-CM)

The self-service scenario Salary Benchmarking (HRCMP0053) exchanges data with external benchmarking providers. You communicate synchronously and online using HTTPS.

SAP Expert Finder (CA-GTF-XF)

The component SAP Expert Finder can exchange data with external systems using RFC.

Personnel Administration

●     HR Administrative Services

HR Administrative Services can transfer personal data from SAP E-Recruiting and return data to SAP E-Recruiting. For more information, see the Security Guide for SAP E-Recruiting under Technical System Landscape and Communication Destinations.

●     B2A Manager – Authorities Communication

Some country versions use the B2A Manager to exchange data with the authorities. For example, in the German country version (PA-PA-DE) you can exchange data with social insurance bodies and health insurance funds.

The B2A Manager supports the following communication channels and encryption procedures, depending on the recipient:

○     Communication channels

■      E-mail with file attachments

■      HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure Sockets)

○     Encryption procedures

■      PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)

■      PKCS#7 (Public Key Cryptography Standard No.7)

●     Pension Fund (PA-PF)

○     You can create files with SAP List Viewer (ALV) and TemSe (Temporary Sequential Objects).

○     There is no encryption of data in the standard system.

○     Country version Netherlands (PA-PF-NL): You can upload the inbound data using the GBA interface (Gemeentelijke Basis Administratie).

●     Country version Germany (PA-PA-DE)

Employees can submit their tax returns in electronic form (ELSTER). Data is communicated using HTTP. The data is encrypted with PKCS#7. The tax authorities specify the procedure.

●     Country version USA

For the VET and EEO reports for the country version USA, you can exchange data with local servers or terminals. With this function you can download files from the application server to a presentation server. This results in text files with the output format .txt, as required by the authorities. This output format is legally compliant.

The data is not encrypted in the standard system. You decide to what extent you want to encrypt data if you want to send data to the Federal Commission or the Department of Labor.

●     Country version Great Britain

You can communicate with the GB Inland Revenue Gateway. The communication channel is encrypted with 128 SSL. Employee tax data is transferred with RFC connections and HTTPS.
