2512762 - Employee Central - Compensation Info HRIS Sync

This article explains how HRIS Sync works for compInfo in EC.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

Hard-Coded Sync 

The synchronization of compInfo data to EP works as such. Currently there are 4 fields in the compInfo hris-element which have hard-coded sync mappings -:

HRIS Element	EC Fields
compInfo	salary job-level pay-grade bonus-target

Form more information on the order in which data is synchronized, please refer to KBA 2505747 - HRIS Sync - HRIS Sync Job - Order in which Elements are Synchronized

 

What is the purpose of these Hard-Coded Sync Mappings?

Compensation Management and Variable Pay modules both have a direct integration with Employee Central, so Compensation Info data does not typically flow from Compensation Information > Basic User Data (UDF) > Compensation, but instead goes from EC > Compensation Management (for example). That being said, you may still want certain data to synchronize (via HRIS Sync) from compInfo to the SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite.

Custom Sync Mappings for compInfo (overriding the hard-coded mappings)

Some hard-coded mappings can be overridden but not all. The ones you can over-ride are as follows (but please be aware of the mentioned caveats if you do) -:

EC Job Info Source Field ID	EP (standard-element) Destination Field ID	Example XML of what you can do	Comments
pay-grade	payGrade	<hris-element-ref refid="jobInfo"> <hris-mapping>     <hris-field-ref refid="pay-grade"/>     <standard-element-ref refid="payGrade"/> </hris-mapping>	The field "compInfo.pay-grade" is deprecated in Employee Central 2.0. Instead Pay Grade information is now captured in Job Information (the jobInfo hris-element) Therefore, overriding the hard-coded mapping may be needed
salary	salary	N/A	Salary information is captued in the "payComponentRecurring" hris-element. Therefore this mapping is obsolete. Employee Central to Compensation & Variable Pay modules is handled with a direct integration. Please refer to the implementation guides for each -: Employee Central - Compensation Integration Employee Central - Variable Pay Integration
job-level	jobLevel	<hris-element-ref refid="jobInfo"> <hris-mapping>     <hris-field-ref refid="custom-string20"/>     <standard-element-ref refid="jobLevel"/> </hris-mapping>	The field "compInfo.job-level" is is not often used in Employee Central 2.0. Instead Job Level information is typically captured in Job Information (the jobInfo hris-element) as a STRING value. The STRING field used to capture this value in EC is usually set from the "Pay Grade Level" field on the Pay Grade object using Propagation XML.
bonus-target	bonusTarget	N/A	Salary information is captued in the "payComponentRecurring" hris-element. Therefore this mapping is obsolete. Employee Central to Compensation & Variable Pay modules is handled with a direct integration. Please refer to the implementation guides for each -: Employee Central - Compensation Integration Employee Central - Variable Pay Integration

 

Which fields should I not override?

There arent any fields that specifically you should not override in compInfo. But as per the above table, you will want to plan your Compensation Management and Varliabe Pay integration carefully, given the above caveats. For Downstream Impacts - again refer to 2507190 - HRIS Sync: Downstream Impacts - for guidance

Best Practice Recommendations

Please plan any mappings from Compensation Information carefully. Though it is true that Compensation Management has a direct integration with Employee Central, the data is only sent from EC to the Compensation form when it is created. After that point the only updates that would occur are those fields that are mapped via HRIS Sync.
