Importing Employee Data is an efficient way of adding employees to the system and handling employee related data changes in EC.

 It is recommend to create a backup of the file before uploading records. This can be done through Ad-Hoc Reporting (or Export Extended User Information for Live Profile data). That way, you’ll be able to retrieve your data, in case records are accidentally wiped out.

To Import Employee Data:

• Go to Admin Tools > Manage Users > Import Employee Data in the older Admin UI.
• In the newer style Admin UI, choose Administration Tools > Manage Employees > Update User Information > Import Employee Data

Note: In EC, when importing employee data, the sequence of import is very important. If you do not import all the essential files in the right order you can encounter difficulties when trying to import subsequent data and also there can be data issues within the application itself later on.

• For the complete "all data" import process, please refer to the Employee Central Master Implementation Guide and the Employee Data Imports | SAP Help Portal.
