2733409 - Differences between new (BIB) and old (Legacy) standard employee replication

Symptom

This KBA covers the main differences between new (BIB) and old (Legacy) standard replications (from SuccessFactors to ERP HCM).

PS.: ERP HCM ≈ S/4HANA ≈ ECP

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Resolution

BIB integration

  • The query/request is built in the HCM and sent to CPI. Therefore, we see fewer configuration options in CPI;
  • A single CPI Iflow replicates both Employee Master Data and Organizational Assignment Data, avoiding synchronization issues;
  • More options of customization;
  • See the implementation guide for more details;

Legacy integration

  • The query/request is built in the CPI. Therefore, we see more configuration options in CPI;
  • Two Iflows are necessary to replicate Employee Master Data and, separately, Organizational Assignment Data.
  • Less options of customization;
  • See the implementation guides for more details:
    • link - Replicating Employee Master Data using CPI
