Since the advent of SuccessFactors Employee Central suite, one of the critical requirement is to display remuneration / pay statement within the SuccessFactors employee central integrated with on premise SAP payroll system. While this information is currently scattered in various implementation guides, The hunt for single source or an article which gives sequence of technical steps required to achieve this integration is still on. This blog aims to address this gap by illustrating the said integration.
On high level , following steps are to be implemented :
Please note that these steps assume the pay statement is already configured in SAP.
Each of the above steps are illustrated below .
STEP 1. Implement SAML configuration as per SAP note 2253359.
SAML, security assertion markup language is an XML based open standard data format for authentication and authorizing the data between parties, in particular between identity provider and service provider. In our case SF EC system is an identity provider and On Premise SAP payroll system is the service provider. Follow the steps given in SAP note 2253359. The manual implementation of this note results in activation pay statement service in SAP.
STEP 2. Maintain Assertion Consumer Settings in SuccessFactors Provisioning
From the implementation of step 1 , a meta data file is extracted from SAP system ( Seek help from your SAP basis) . Within this file contains following URLs :
Assertion: https://myXXXXXX.payroll.ondemand.com/sap/saml2/sp/acs/100
Logout: https://myXXXXXXX.payroll.ondemand.com/sap/saml2/sp/slo/100
These links are required to be maintained in the SuccessFactors provisioning at following place :
Click Add another Service Provide ACS and add the assertion consumer service and logout URLS.
STEP 3. Configure Payroll System Configuration object in SuccessFactors Employee Central
In SuccessFactors Employee Central Admin center , Configure the earning and deduction portlet for the payroll information page in the payroll system configuration object.
Go to Manage Data , Create New Payroll System Configuration object, if not already exists.
Under Portlets, Click on details section of Earnings and Deductions , make sure the service ‘Pay Statement’ is selected from the drop down as shown in the screen below.
Tip: SF EC stores the names of services in the Picklist ‘payroll services’ (Configure Object Definitions- Picklist) . Make sure that the external code of pay statement is ‘1’.
STEP 4 Perform Role based permissions to give employees access to Pay Statement and Tax Form applications
Following screen shots are self explanatory to setup the role based permissions in SuccessFactors Employee Central.
Display pay statement in Employee Central ( Employee File – navigate to Payroll Information). Latest pay statement will be shown. Options are available to navigate to pay statement from previous periods, Print or download the pay statement.
We hope this helps and expedite your work towards to invoke this wonderful functionality.
