Can PU12 fetch results from 3rd-party payroll systems?

Question

Gurus:
We have configured PU12 to export master data or master/payroll data to 3rd-part systems.
Could you tell us how to fetch the results from external 3rd-party systems back to our ECC system?
Thanks!

Hi Ashley,
You can import the wage types from 3rd party systems into SAP. Then you can run the payroll in SAP system.
Check the following description taken from help.sap.com.
You use the Import wage types function to transfer wage types from a third-party system to the
payroll results of the SAP System.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Cross Application
