Checking your Employee Central Payroll Configuration


4 CONFIDENTIAL Introduction
3 Using the Check Tool

Use the check tool to find potential problems and errors in your configuration before you call support about an
issue.

Prerequisites

Enable Metadata Framework (MDF). Most customers already use MDF.

Assign Access Check Tool and Allow Configuration Export to your role in Role Based Permissions (RBP).

● Access Check Tool authorizes users to access the tool.


● Allow Configuration Export authorizes users to attach configuration information to a ticket.

Procedure

1. Go to Admin Center.
2. In the tools search field, type Check Tool.
3. In Application, select the application you want to check.

 Tip

All Applications runs checks in all your applications.

For example, to run checks for Time Off, select Time Off.

You see the checks for the application you selected.


4. Click the check the box at top left in the table to run all checks.
5. If you want to run only some checks, select them individually.

 Tip

To understand what a check does, right click the Check ID. The system then displays some information on
the check.

6. Click Run Checks to check your applications for the checks you selected.

Next Steps

Evaluate the results and resolve the issues. If you encounter an error you cannot resolve, contact Support by
creating a ticket.

Benefits of the Check Tool [page 6]
The SAP SuccessFactors check tool helps you identify and resolve issues when your system doesn’t work
as you expect.

Check Results [page 6]


After you run checks in the check tool, it returns the results of the check so that you can resolve issues that
it found.

Creating Support Tickets from the Check Tool [page 7]


When the check tool reports a serious issue, you might need to contact Support. You can create a Support
ticket from within the check tool.

3.1 Benefits of the Check Tool

The SAP SuccessFactors check tool helps you identify and resolve issues when your system doesn’t work as you
expect.

If your SAP SuccessFactors applications are behaving in unexpected ways, it is likely that it has a configuration or
data conflict: you have some data that is inconsistent or a configuration error. The check tool quickly identifies
these types of problems so that you can avoid support tickets. You might still need to create a support ticket if the
problem is severe, but even in severe cases, the check tool can save you time because it can export the results of
the check and your configuration for support. The support engineer, therefore, can identify the issue more quickly.

When you run the check tool, you see:

● A list of issues in your configuration or data and the severity of each issue.
● A solution or recommendation to address the issue.

3.2 Check Results

After you run checks in the check tool, it returns the results of the check so that you can resolve issues that it
found.

To see the results of the checks, look in the Results column. If you run the checks multiple times to see how you are
resolving issues, look in the Previous Result column to compare the current results to previous results.

Possible Results of Check Tool

Result Action

No issues found If the tool cannot find issues, you see a green check mark the Result.

Checking your Employee Central Payroll Configuration


6 CONFIDENTIAL Using the Check Tool
Result Action

Issues found If the tool finds issues, it reports the number of issues and a yellow warning icon or a red alarm
icon.

● The yellow icon indicates a low severity issue. The system proposes a solution.
● The red icon indicates a high severity issue. You must take action, which could include creat­
ing a Support ticket.

Related Information

Creating Support Tickets from the Check Tool [page 7]

3.3 Creating Support Tickets from the Check Tool

When the check tool reports a serious issue, you might need to contact Support. You can create a Support ticket
from within the check tool.

Prerequisites

Run the check tool. You can find the check tool by going to Admin Center Check Tool . You create the ticket
from the results page of the tool

Procedure

5 Using the Mapping Check Tools in
Employee Central Payroll

In Employee Central Payroll there are mapping check tools you can use to identify problems like:

● Data, which has been set up inconsistently, for example missing Pay Components in Employee Central
configuration and missing Wage Types in Employee Central Payroll configuration
● Mapping from Pay Components to Wage Types is missing

With the mapping check tools, you can identify what´s wrong:

● They read configuration data from both (Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll) systems.
● They display mapping and key properties in an overview and indicate inconsistency.

You can use following mapping check tools in the Employee Central Payroll system:

● Time Types and Absence/Attendance Types Configuration Check, for more information see Checking Time
Types and Attendance and Absence Types Configuration.
● Pay Component and Wage Type Configuration Check, for more information see Checking Pay Component and
Wage Type Configuration.
● Time Pay Types and Wage Types Configuration Check Report, for more information see Time Pay Type
Mapping.
● Time Account Type and Wage Type Configuration Check, for more information see Checking Time Account
Type and Wage Type Configuration.
● Time Account Type and Wage Type Configuration Check - Leave Liability, for more information see Checking
Time Account Type and Wage Type Configuration - Leave Liability.

5.1 Time Types and Attendance and Absence Types


Configuration

You can use the Time Types and Attendance and Absence Types Configuration Check report
(RP_HRSFEC_CHECK_TIME_AABS_TYPE) to get an overview of the time types (from SAP SuccessFactors Employee
Central) and the equivalent mapped attendance and absence types (from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central
Payroll).

All the attendance and absence types in the payroll system are given even if they are not mapped to an Employee
Central Time Type - and vice versa. The report can help you to find inconsistent data and check that the properties
are set up correctly.

Before using the report, please meet the following prerequisites

Establish RFC destination in the running system by using the Configuration Report for Employee Central Payroll.
For more information, see Set Connection Data. If the RFC connection is not set up, it will be displayed in the
application log.

14 CONFIDENTIAL Using the Mapping Check Tools in Employee Central Payroll
5.2 Pay Component and Wage Type Configuration

You use the Pay Component and Wage Type Configuration report (RP_HRSFEC_CHECK_PAYC_WAGETYPE) report to
get an overview of the Pay Components (from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central) and the equivalent mapped
Wage Types (from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll). All the Wage Types in the payroll system are
given, even if they are not mapped to an Employee Central Pay Component. The report can help you to find
inconsistent data and check that the properties are set up correctly. For example, if the mapping of a particular
Wage Type to an info type is permitted or if it should be mapped to another info type.

The Employee Central Payroll system reads the data from the Employee Central system with oData API.

Prerequisite

There is an RFC destination established in the running Employee Central Payroll system by using the Configuration
Report for Employee Central Payroll (RP_HRSFEC_PTP_CONFIGURATION). If the RFC connection is not set up, it is
displayed in the application log.

Selection

● There is an automated import (OData) from the Employee Central system displayed.
● Choose the relevant country under Country Grouping.
In this parameter, you can only enter one county. If you have configured your payroll configuration for multiple
countries, you have to run the report for each country separately.
● In the Wage Type field you can include or exclude Wage Types, which should be used for the selection of the
data.
This select option is helpful because it enables you to exclude all those Wage Types from the analysis, which are
not required in Employee Central
● If you want to hide any entries that do not require any further changes, choose Hide correct entries. Please note
the following:
○ Employee Central Pay Components which are not mapped are displayed in the list and must be further
configured.
○ All records with an error are displayed in the list.
○ Corresponding records belonging to the same Pay Components and Wage Types are still displayed for
completeness.
● You can also save your own variant of this report, which you can select under Layout Variant.

Output

The standard screen layout is divided into different sections, which are highlighted in the following colors:

Checking your Employee Central Payroll Configuration


Using the Mapping Check Tools in Employee Central Payroll CONFIDENTIAL 15
● Blue: Validity Period – most of the data is time dependent and for that reason the first two columns contain
start date and end date of the validity period for which the data in the remainder of the line is valid.
● Green: Employee Central perspective with Pay Component properties including External Code, Description,
Status, Pay Component Type, Currency, Frequency Code, Is Earning and Is Recurring.
● Yellow: Employee Central Payroll perspective with Wage Type properties such as Wage Type and Wage Type
Long Text.
○ The actual mapping between the Wage Type and infotype is indicated under Mapped to ITXXX. The
possible info types are IT0008, IT0014, IT0015, and IT0267.
○ The infotype that the Wage Type is meant to be mapped to is given under Wage Type ITXXX permitted. For
example, Wage Type IT0008 permitted.
● Red: Errors, if the existing mapping between the Wage Type and info type is not allowed. This error is indicated
under ITXXX mapping not permitted. For example, IT0015 mapping not permitted. Other errors such as if the
Wage Type text is missing or wrong deduction is used are also indicated.

If an entry has been changed, you can see the historical configuration of this entry and the current attributes. A
new row is added that shows the changed values.

If the start and end date of a particular change are overlapping, the database table entry that you must correct is
given under the Overlapping Validity column. The checks within the report for this entry are only processed, if you
correct the database table entry.

You can check, if the pay components and wage types are maintained correctly. If needed, you can also download
the report to Microsoft Excel.

5.3 Time Pay Type Mapping

Time Pay Type is an attribute of the employee time valuation result. It is included in the replication of time sheet
data to Infotype 2010 in the Employee Central Payroll system.

If the Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll codes for Time Pay Type are the same, no further mapping is
needed. If they are not, you need to map Time Pay Type values from the time sheet manually in Employee Central
Payroll.

Perform this mapping in Customizing, under Personnel Management Integration Settings for SuccessFactors
Employee Central Payroll Assignment of Code Values Define Mapping of External Code Value Lists to Internal
Code Value Lists . (See also Assignment of Code Values ).

 Note

In Employee Central the Time Pay Type Code can have 255 characters. In Employee Central Payroll, it can only
have 128 characters. Make sure that the External Code for each of your Time Pay Type Codes in Employee
Central is no longer than 128 characters. If it's longer than that, any characters after the 128th is cut off during
data replication.
