The Payroll Control Center is more than just a great look and feel for running SAP Payroll / SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll (EC Payroll). Additional Functionality includes visual validations and compliance checks, error management and a full audit trail. EPI-USE has built a global and local accelerator containing over 75 commonly requested checks. If you want to see more, then please just contact me and I'd be happy to arrange a demo, or simply share some specific videos. steve.morgan@epiuse.com

• HANAis optional, but supported under two scenarios

15. Summary
15
• The software is free of charge from SAP but no content is delivered.
• An SAP RDS exists but only delivers a few generic checks to try and educate the
clients/partners.
• You will spend a lot of time to get it configured to be used in a real payroll environment.
• New functionality in Feature Pack 4 of HR Renewal 2.0
• Allows users to decluster only the results that we need for the control center validations .
− For example the current pay period and maybe one period in the past for comparisons
− No need to decluster all results (which will increase database space needed)
• Allows users to store test results and do comparisons against payroll test results and in
the process reduce the payroll window (between payroll release and exit).
− Also access payroll log errors/warnings in the payroll control center
• Automatic start and confirmation of some steps in the payroll processes.
• Show proposed solutions as well as key values of why the validation failed.
• The EPI-­USE accelerator delivers the following:
• Over 75 pre-­delivered validations that has been tested and documented.
• Designed with global, country and local extensibility which allows for solution to be highly
scalable.
• Additional override functionality to prevent transports when parameters are adjusted.
