Integrating Employee Central With Concur via Integration Center

As a system of record, SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central is where all employee master data is housed and the employee lifecycle is managed.

When using  SAP Concur for your Travel and Expenses processes, it’s important to ensure that employee data is available in Concur so that it can be used in those processes.

As a SuccessFactors Employee Central customer, you can benefit from Integration Center to integrate data between SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Concur.

figure 1: Integration Flow

With Integration Center approach you can easily garantee Employee Data Synchronization from SAP SuccessFactors to SAP Concur Expense, Request and Travel with a focus on:

  • Automation of User creation in Concur
    • New hires and Termination processes (with termination postponing in Concur if necessary).
  • Data change management with a Delta mode
    • Employee changes based on effective dates (delta mode). Mapping for Employee Groups, Org units, Ledger, Travel Rule Class, Reimbursement Currency.

Accelerating Employee Data Integration with pre-packaged approaches and solutions with enhanced monitoring on Employee accounts.

 

Below are some images from the system onhow easily you can set up the integration

 

First, define basic statements of the integration

Sencondly, define fields mapping

      Thank for sharing it.

      I notice that the SFTP address is specific. Is it a SFTP server hosted by concur? And Concur could read the file automatically from its side?

      Hi, this is the concur SFTP, specific for each tenant, and yes, concur can automatize it.

      what are the alternative ways of integration employee data in SF with concur ?   What is benefit of approach you are suggesting with integration centre

      Author's profile photo Pedro Almeida
      Pedro Almeida

      I agree. Instead of having all this complexity in SF, is ther any other integration approach to deal with this vallue mapping, etc without placing it trough IC? A middleware? Does not SAP Concur have the hability to deal with these needs. After all, these are SAP Concur needs and not SF...

      Hi Rafael,

      Could you please share your Integration Center template for Concur?  Please email it to kyung.kim@hr-path.com.  Would there be a possibility to post the Integration Center definition, so others viewing this blog can download it without send individual requests to you?

      Thank you in advance.
