Employee Central Payroll
Employee Central Payroll (ECP) is SAP's cloud-hosted payroll engine that runs the proven SAP Payroll (H1/HR) processing logic on a dedicated, SAP-managed cloud infrastructure while sourcing master data from SuccessFactors Employee Central via a point-to-point replication integration. This topic covers ECP's purpose, architecture, replication and integration model, payroll control center concepts, configuration touchpoints, troubleshooting patterns, and how it differs from on-premise SAP Payroll and other SuccessFactors payroll options.
