What about SAP’s Next Gen Payroll?
We have been hearing a buzz about SAP SuccessFactors’s next-generation cloud payroll for a while now, and it was mentioned at the 2022 annual SuccessConnect conference. Each time it was mentioned, it was noted that it was not a formal announcement in any sense, but rather a reminder that there is ongoing development that continues in this area. Here are the highlights of what you need to know.
The world-class SAP Payroll that we know and love is currently based on SAP ERP technology, and that same technology powers the cloud version of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll. The next evolution of Payroll will not be tied to that SAP baseline; it is being developed natively for the cloud. This is a re-imagining of Payroll, based on the best practices learned from SAP’s thirty-plus years in this space, coupled with leading technologies and leveraging the latest in human experience management.
SAP has a team that has been working extensively on this solution. They have shared the core guiding principles as noted below, and a commitment to ensure it is developed from a global standpoint, with far-reaching capabilities into other technologies.
The Value Proposition for next-generation Payroll:
- Low TCO
- Low Compliance Risk
- HXM
- Global Intelligence cross-suite
- Flexibility
They do have early adopters participating in trials of the early iterations of the solution, and in my humble opinion, it will not be widely available anytime soon. SAP has emphasized that they are taking their time to try to do it the right way, and not rush a solution out to market. This is their opportunity to reimagine Payroll all over again.
How do you decide which way to go?
If you are not sure which path is right for you, and you are still deciding on how best to move to the cloud, and at what pace, you should start by reviewing the complexity and configuration of your current system which will impact your decision-making. Request your free assessment here.
We have a free assessment tool that will give you information about your SAP system to help you understand what your migration path might look like. This free assessment is simply a download which includes an SAP transport that will run on your SAP environment.
It’s essentially a transport that collects key structural data from your system including things like:
- Number of countries configured for payroll
- How many custom tables are in use
- Which Wage Types are configured versus which are in use
- Custom programs
- Custom infotypes
The transport applied does all of this without exposing any of your Employee or Confidential system data. The data from the assessment is then available via an interactive, user-friendly web dashboard.
During the assessment, our expert services team will help determine if your company is a good fit for our PRISM Migration Service. PRISM combines powerful software and SAP domain experts to accelerate your move. If required, we can also undertake an automated assessment of your current SAP landscape via a lightweight ABAP program that is provided as an SAP transport that should be run on the production server, or a recent copy of production. Having a definitive analysis of your system’s complexity is the first step in determining your next step in your SAP SuccessFactors migration.
