SAP SuccessFactors and Payroll: specialist depth within AMP’s SAP practice.
Employee Central, Employee Central Payroll and GCC payroll support: troubleshooting, enhancements, integrations and release support for organisations running payroll in production. One of the specialist strengths within AMP’s broader SAP consulting and support practice.
Ongoing support is not a project.
We keep the two clearly separate, so you know what you are buying and how it is staffed and scoped.
Application maintenance and support (AMS)
Recurring care of a live SuccessFactors and Employee Central Payroll environment.
- Production support and issue resolution
- Change requests and small enhancements
- Release and regression support
- Payroll-cycle monitoring and reconciliation
- Agreed scope and service expectations
New implementations and transformation projects
Time-bound programmes to introduce, redesign or roll out payroll and HR processes.
- Defined business case, design and delivery plan
- Different team shape, timeline and commercials
- Scoped and agreed separately from AMS
From employee data to reconciled payroll.
Where we work in the payroll cycle. Step through the flow to see which SAP components are involved.
Employee data
Employee Central
Master data, compensation and time data are maintained in Employee Central and feed payroll.
Replication
Integration (BIB)
Business Integration Builder and data replication move employee data to Employee Central Payroll. Replication errors are a common source of payroll issues.
Payroll calculation
Employee Central Payroll
Payroll schemas and personnel calculation rules produce results for each employee, including GCC localisation-specific logic.
Validation
Payroll Control Center
Results are checked and released through Payroll Control Center, so anomalies are caught before payments are made.
Reconciliation
Parallel runs and testing
Parallel runs and reconciliation compare results before and after changes, so differences are explained rather than discovered.
Reporting
Outputs
Payroll reports, accounting postings and statutory outputs, subject to the requirements of each country.

Why experience matters in payroll.
Payroll problems rarely announce their cause. A wrong result might come from a schema, a rule, a replication gap, a data change or a misunderstanding of how the business actually pays people.
Consultants who understand both system configuration and real-world payroll operations can tell the difference quickly, fix the cause rather than the symptom, and explain the change to payroll teams in terms they recognise.
- Root-cause analysis instead of repeated workarounds
- Changes tested and reconciled before they reach production
- Clear documentation your own team can follow
Statutory and localisation requirements differ by country and employer, so we confirm them with you for your jurisdiction.
