2733409 - BIB x EE (Legacy) Integrations - Cloud Platform Integration (CPI)

• What are the differences between BIB and EE(Legacy) Replication?
• Which integration scenario should I Implement?
• What are the limitations of each scenario?

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• SAP ERP;
• Cloud Platform Integration(CPI);
• SuccessFactors OData API.

BIB integration:

• Query is built in the ERP and sent to HCI/CPI;
• More options of customization if compared to the Legacy integration;
• Single iFlow in HCI for Employee Master Data and Organizational Assignment. (This helps avoiding synchronization issues).

Reference Guides:

• Replicating Employee Master Data and Organizational Assignments from Employee Central to SAP ERP HCM;
• Replicating Organizational Objects from Employee Central to SAP ERP HCM.

Reference Screenshot of the configuration in HCI: (note: Most of the options were moved to ERP side, that's why we see less configuration options)

EE Legacy integration:

• Query is built on the HCI;
• Less customization available if compared to the BIB integration;
• 2 iFlows are deployed on HCI, one for Employee Master Data and another one for Organizational Assignment.

Reference Guides:

• Replicating Employee Master Data from Employee Central to SAP ERP HCM Using SAP Cloud Platform Integration as the Middleware;
• Replicating Organizational Data from Employee Central to SAP ERP HCM Using SAP Cloud Platform Integration as the Middleware. 

Reference Screenshot of the configuration in HCI:

Observation: The ABAP code and framework is different for the 2 types of Integrations, since in the BIB most of the QUERY customization is made on the ERP side.

Supported Countries in the BIB scenario:
