When payroll is the only system that knows who works where, the approval list in procurement drifts. Someone re-types managers into a spreadsheet, and it is wrong the month after a reorganization.
Reading managers and cost centers from ADP keeps routing aligned with the payroll record, without copying sensitive payroll data anywhere.

Who does what
What to plan for in ADP Workforce Now
ADP's documentation is not publicly browsable and was not checked, so every item needs verification with ADP.
API access is not self-serveverify source
ADP grants API access through its marketplace and client authorization. Confirm early that your contract and product include it.
Keep payroll data outverify source
Routing needs identity, manager and cost center. Pay and tax data must stay in ADP.
Certificates expireverify source
If the connection uses a client certificate, track its expiry and who renews it.
Leavers must lose approval rightsverify source
Test the status-change path, because it matters more than the hire path.
Cost center fields differverify source
How cost centers are stored varies by ADP configuration. Confirm the field your account uses.
Security and access
Payroll data is among the most sensitive data a company holds, so the integration should be a narrow, read-only feed.
