  The Problem: WBS Elements Get Lost in Translation During Employee Replication Organizations running SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) alongside SAP ECP (Employee Central Payroll) or an on-premise HR/PS backend often hit a familiar wall: cost distribution data captured in EC does not always land cleanly in Infotype 0027 (Cost Distribution) on the payroll side. Specifically, the WBS Element (Work Breakdown Structure) value coming from EC is stored as an external, human-readable string, while SAP Project Systems expects the internal PSP number (PSPNR) in field PSP01. Without a bridge between these two formats, replication either fails silently, defaults to blank cost assignments, or requires manual correction after every payroll-relevant employee change. For finance and controlling teams that depend on accurate cost object assignment, this is more than a technical inconvenience. It is a data integrity risk.
