3566429 - Duplicate Employee Records in SAP ByD and SAP SF-EC Integration

Symptom

During the integration process between SAP Business ByDesign (ByD) and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (SF-EC), duplicate employee records are being created.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Follow the SAP Guide (link below) for SAP ByD and SAP SF-EC Integration.
  2. After ID mapping, replicate the company data.
  3. Observe the creation of duplicate employee records.

Cause

The issue may be caused by incorrect mapping of IDs. The SAP SF Employee ID has been mapped instead of the SuccessFactors Employee Central Business Partner ID. This incorrect mapping could lead to the creation of duplicate records.

Resolution

  1. Verify the mapping between the SAP ByD Business Partner ID and the SAP SF-EC Business Partner ID.
  2. Correct the mapping if necessary, ensuring that the SuccessFactors Employee Central Business Partner ID is used.
  3. Replicate the data again and check for any duplication of employee records.
