This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

Purpose

This program exports cost center master data from the SAP ERP system into a CSV file, which can be used to import the data into SuccessFactors Employee Central.

Integration

Prerequisites

If you have not modified the cost center entity in the Employee Central data model, there are no prerequisites to fulfill. If you have modified the cost center data model, such as adding custom fields or disabling standard fields, you must download the cost center CSV import template from Employee Central.

If you plan to always store the file on a server share, you must define a valid physical path for the logical path ODTF_REPL_CC in the Logical File Path Definition (transaction FILE). To do this, in Customizing for Controlling, choose Integration of SAP ERP CO Master Data with SuccessFactors Employee Central -> Define File Path and Name for Storing the Generated Files.

Features

Selection

Use the select options in the group box Cost Center to specify which cost centers you want to export. If you select the checkbox Only FI postings allowed, the program considers only cost centers that are not locked for actual primary cost postings.

Pay special attention to the parameter From Change Date in the group box Delta Replication Settings. Changes to cost centers and newly-created cost centers will only be exported if they occurred after the date entered in this group box. As a consequence, we recommend that you set this date to a value far in the past for the first export. For subsequent exports, we recommend that you set it to the date of the last export that was successfully imported into Employee Central.

In the group box Field Settings, you can specify if the cost center ID is exported into the field External Object ID. A prerequisite for this feature is that you have enabled the field in the Employee Central data model. This feature can be used if the system that receives employee data from Employee Central cannot convert the internal ID into a valid cost center ID. The internal ID is typically concatenated from the controlling area and the cost center ID. This technical ID within Employee Central is necessary to ensure unique cost centers. Third party systems are usually not aware of the controlling area, only of the cost center ID. The option in the group box Field Settings enables you to provide this cost center ID.

In the group box CSV Export, you must either specify a file name on your local computer or choose a server as the location where the results will be saved. If the data model for cost centers in Employee Central differs from the default model, you must specify the file name of your downloaded CSV template here (see Prerequisites). In this case, the system will fill out your template and save it to the same location. Note that this feature is only supported for the download to a local computer.
