SAP® Payroll HR3 Connector for Workday® HCM
Integration framework enabling payroll “employee master data” replication from Workday® to SAP® Payroll.
HR3 Cockpit offers central access to process integration-related tasks to guarantee master data change operational completion from a payroll perspective.
The HR3 Cockpit significantly increases the productivity of your Payroll Team while eliminating the rejection of payroll runs.
The HR3 Connector is a very helpful tool supporting the daily tasks of our HR Administration team. The tool supports us in ensuring that HR master data is aligned between Workday® and SAP® and reduces the need for manual “double maintenance” of the same data. In the HR3 buffer list, we have a good overview of the tasks and task types, that needs to be performed in SAP, and when initiating the actions from here, the data already entered in Workday® is defaulted and/or mapped into SAP® values, which makes processing easier and less time-consuming, as only additional Payroll relevant data needs to be entered.
Payroll Integration Challenges
- Workday® and SAP® Payroll are two systems designed with fundamental differences around data structure and processes. Customer-specific development is a challenging undertaking. Supporting and maintaining such an integration is costly and IT services intensive.
- Payroll demands an extensive subset of country-specific information as well as payroll grade consistency in order to successfully run payroll operations.
- Existing legacy payroll configurations reflect years of system improvements and regulatory requirements. How do you leverage the data flow from Workday® without breaking the rules and validations defined in SAP® PA
- HR and IT teams find out that it is complicated to fulfill data integration in a classical seamless automated way without getting into over complexes because flows that require further investment to fill the gap on the SAP® Payroll side adding more tailored processes.
If this seems familiar to you you should check the HR3 Connector.
COST EFFECTIVE
Instead of creating new SAP® procedures with a complex point-to-point custom integration, the HR3 connector actually leverages existing client investment reusing existing well-proven and stable processes. Lowest HRIT support and near zero integration rejection due to its unique technology.
PROVEN SOLUTION
Successfully implemented in more than 40 countries, the HR3 Connector has proved to be flexible enough to be compliant with any complex local legal requirements and their continuous changes.
CONSISTENT
With the HR3 Connector, the only way to commit changes to SAP® Payroll is by strictly following standard or client specific business rules and logic. This includes mandatory field validation, systematic checks, customer made guidelines in customer-exits or BADis.
USER-FRIENDLY
The HR3 Connector allows HR administrators to continue business as usual leveraging their existing investment in the SAP® Payroll. With a fast learning curve and leaving the Payroll Administrator in control. They will love it!
How the HR3 Connector Works
- Workday® delivers PECI files, and the HR3 Connector processes the staffing events using the mapping and rules defined.
- The HR3 Cockpit offers global insight into all changes to apply in SAP® PA. Payroll managers use their historically SAP® user interface to choose which changes to process and when.
- Changes are enforced by SAP® and guarantee master data change operational completion from a payroll perspective.
- Integration services may be inbound or outbound and are based on configurable objects that include different sets of rules such as field mapping, value mapping, and consistency checks, and also include population groups to which these rules refer to.
- The HR3 employee data replication services may be bidirectional and include payroll, non-payroll, and external workers from a single Workday® instance to multiple downstream SAP® ERP instances.
