2530553 - SAP ByDesign and SuccessFactors Integration Pre-Requisites

Symptom

Is it possible to map existing employees/users in SAP ByDesign and SuccessFactors?

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Resolution

This scenario is currently not supported, hence the mapping of existing employees is not possible. Pre-requisites are mentioned as below:

  1. ByD HCM application does not contain any (legacy) employee master data. A migration of those to the EC landscape is not supported.
  2. All employees are maintained in Employee Central. No mixed scenarios like maintaining the employee data for one company in EC and for another one in ByD are supported.
    The system is working as expected.
  3. One Employee Central tenant is connected to one Business ByDesign tenant as the only source of employee replication.
  4. All employees are maintained in Employee Central. No mixed scenarios like maintaining the employee data for one company in EC and for another one in ByD are supported.
  5. If the PDI enhancements are used to also replicate service agents, no service agents may be maintained in ByD. This has to be ensured by means of the ByD authorization concept.
