Employee Central Integration with EHP8 vs. HCM for S4HANA

[andreasmarte]

Hello all,

we're currently discussing the it-hr architecture regarding HCM on premise and SF-EC (hybrid core approach with master data in SF and local HCM payroll/time with EHP8).

End of last year there was HCM for S4HANA announced. We're thinking about SF/EC and what would be our best way of the migration steps in the next years.

On the SAP slides there was mentioned that an advantage from HCM for S4HANA is the integration with SF/EC. There was added that there is "prepackaged content for SF" available.

What's the advantage of the integration of SF/EC with HCM for S4HANA against integrating EHP8 with SF/EC first and after that migrating from EHP8 to HCM for S4HANA in the second step?

Isn't there any "prepackaged content" available for integrating EHP8 to SF/EC?

Thanks and best regards
Andreas

You have to bear in mind that the maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 (ERP HCM EHP8) ends in 2027:

H4S4 (HCM for SAP S/4H) is expected to be supported until 2040 (at least).
