The SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll 2H/2024 exam (C_THR86_2411) focuses on configuring and administering SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll. The main points covered include, but are not limited to:

• Understanding the fundamentals of Employee Central Payroll (ECP): This includes the overall architecture, integration with Employee Central, and core concepts like payroll processes, data models, and configurations.

• Payroll Configuration: A significant portion of the exam involves knowing how to configure various aspects of payroll, including:

  • Payroll Infotypes: Understanding and configuring different infotypes relevant to payroll calculations (e.g., compensation, taxes, benefits).
  • Payroll Controls: Setting up rules, parameters, and controls for processing payroll accurately.
  • Tax Configurations: Configuring tax calculations according to different jurisdictions and legal requirements.
  • Wage Types: Defining and managing wage types for various compensation components.
  • Report configurations: Understanding various standard and custom reports available in ECP.
  • Business Rules : Creating and managing business rules to customize payroll processes.
  • Workflows : Setting up and managing workflows for payroll approvals and other processes.

• Payroll Processing: This includes understanding the different steps involved in payroll processing, troubleshooting common issues, and performing necessary corrections. This is less about the actual "clicking" and more about the understanding of the process and potential problems.

• Integration with other SuccessFactors modules: The exam tests your knowledge of how ECP integrates with other SuccessFactors modules, particularly Employee Central. This will encompass data flows and dependencies.

• Data Management and Reporting: You'll need to understand how to manage payroll data, run reports, and analyze payroll information. This also includes understanding audit trails and data security within the system.

• Payroll Operations: Understanding basic operational aspects like corrections, adjustments, and managing different payroll periods and calendars.

It's crucial to note that the exam doesn't emphasize hands-on configuration in a live system as much as a deep understanding of the configuration options and how they relate to one another. You need to know what to configure, why , and how it impacts the overall payroll process. Practical experience working within the ECP module is highly recommended for exam success.
