CostPoint-Silkroad Integration Overview

Costpoint - SilkRoad Integration allows you to import SilkRoad new hire employee-related information into Costpoint.

Costpoint - SilkRoad integration also allows you to export Costpoint employees, position requisitions, detail job titles, organizations/HR organizations, and labor locations to SilkRoad.

Note:

The integration process does not support Transfers (internal applicants) or Rehires of previous employees if the same ID was used.

You can perform the import/export process through the Transfer Silk Road Data screen in the Employee domain.

You can run the Costpoint - SilkRoad Integration manually or by scheduling the integration process to run at a specific time. To be able to transfer information to and from SilkRoad, the integration uses SilkRoad Connect, a cloud-based integration tool from SilkRoad. SilkRoad Connect runs on a scheduled basis.

Silkroad to Costpoint Integration Details

The integration imports SilkRoad new hire information that is created during the Onboarding process in RedCarpet. A Human Resources (HR) Coordinator will use the out-of-box Onboarding template in SilkRoad to create a new hire record and enter Costpoint employee ID and associate requisition ID. After the creation of record, the transfer of the new information will be initiated based on Red Carpet workflow event. When you import the SilkRoad new hire information to Costpoint, the process creates employee records based on SilkRoad data and the data from Costpoint job requisition.
