Contract Profile

FO_CA_PROFILE

Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Orders, Contract Profile

Set up contract profiles to provide default values. The contract, billing, and fall off defaults that you set up on this page appear by default when you create orders and assignments.

User Order Type

The values that you set up on the contract profile should reflect the billing and revenue needs of the order type. Select a user order type to specify the type of order. User order types are configured as part of your system configuration. Each user-defined order type must map to one of two possible system-defined order types: temporary or career.

Temporary orders are service requests that involve sending employees of the staffing organization to work at a client's worksite for a predetermined period of time. PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management bills for these transactions on a time and materials, as-incurred basis.

Career orders are requests from customers for the staffing company to find an individual to be permanently hired by the client. The placement is associated with fixed-fee billing and revenue recognition; you bill customers according to an agreed upon schedule.

Contract Type

Select one contract type (contract category) for the user order type.

Contract Legal Entity

Select the legal entity within your organization that owns (signed) the contract.

Product ID

Select the product or service that you will use on your contract lines.

The product ID drives the method by which you bill and recognize revenue. Set up products according to order type. For temporary order types, billing and revenue recognition is as-incurred, and the system only allows you to select from products with a price type of rate. For career order types, billing and revenue recognition is amount based, and the system only allows you to select from products with a price type of Amount. Therefore, it is important that you set up products in PeopleSoft Contracts accordingly. The products should not be configured as renewable or as third-party products and they should not be set up to use templates for billing plans, billing plan details, revenue plans, or renewal plans. The products should also not be a product kit.

Amendment Type

Select an amendment type. Amendments are changes to active contracts.

When the first assignment for an order is created, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management activates the contract associated with that order. For each subsequent assignment, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management creates a contract amendment to add contract lines, billing, and revenue plans to the contract.

Contract Pending Status

Select a value for pending contracts. When an order is first saved with unfilled status, the contract automatically generated is saved with a status of Pending because its contract lines will only be created when assignments are saved. When you create an order, the system automatically sets the associated contract's status to the value that you specify here.

Amendment Reason

Select the amendment reason to be used when assignments are created (starting with the second assignment). This field is informational only; no processing is initiated. This is a required field when creating an amendment.

Contract Open Status

When the first assignment is created for an order, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management activates the associated contract using the status value you specify here.

NA Payroll Hourly Employee

Select a previously configured rate profile that you want to default to temporary assignments associated with PeopleSoft Payroll for North America hourly employees.

NA Payroll Salaried Employee

Select a previously configured rate profile that you want to default to temporary assignments associated with PeopleSoft Payroll for North America salaried employees.

Non-Employee

Select a previously configured rate profile that you want to default to temporary assignments associated with non-employees.

Global Payroll Employee

Select a previously configured rate profile that you want to default to temporary assignments associated with PeopleSoft Global Payroll employees.

Bill Plan Description

Enter a description for the billing plan.

Rev Rec Plan Description (revenue recognition plan description)

Enter a description for the revenue recognition plan.

Bill Type

Select a bill type to be used for the invoices generated for the order.

Bill Source

Select a bill source, which is used by Billing to identify where the billing activity originated.

Bill By

Select a bill by ID, which directs the Billing application how to group customer charges into invoices.

Billing Cycle

Select a billing cycle, which associates a billing plan with the billing cycle that you defined on the Bill Cycle page. When you run the Contracts/Billing Interface process, you can have it process only billing plans of a specific billing cycle type.

Invoice Form

Select the invoice format for the bills that you generate from this billing plan.

Bill Inquiry Phone

Select the number for customers to call if they have questions about their bills. You can include the number on the invoice. This number is established on the Bill Inquiry Phone page.

Billing Specialist

Select a billing specialist. Specialists are established on the Billing Specialist page. The billing specialist is the person responsible for answering questions about the invoices.

Pre Approval Flag

Select this check box to bypass the billing worksheet review and approval process. Selecting this check box sends the invoices directly to PeopleSoft Billing without first creating a temporary bill.

Billing provides a number of mechanisms by which invoices may be reviewed, adjusted, and approved. However, due to high billing volumes, you may want to bypass these features. This may be done by selecting the Pre Approval and Direct Invoicing check boxes on the billing plan. However, if you have a standard business practice of preapproval or direct invoicing, you may set these at a higher level. You can select the Pre Approval check box on the Contract Profile page, and the Direct Invoicing check box on the Customer - Billing page. The system passes both of these selections to the billing plan.

Note. It is possible to have the direct invoicing flag enabled and the preapproval flag disabled for a specific customer-contract profile combination. If the system detects this configuration during the automatic generation of the billing plan, the system enables both options.

Encumbrance % (encumbrance percentage)

Enter an encumbrance percentage to set aside a portion of the purchase order (PO) balance for tax purposes. When you update PO balances prior to bill creation and tax calculation, this blanket encumbrance percentage can be used to estimate taxes. PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management provides functionality to track customer purchase order balances as the customer is billed for work performed in a temporary assignment. Once the billing charges are sent from the PeopleSoft Project Costing application to the PeopleSoft Billing application, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management will decrement the PO balance. However, the system will not have any information on taxes that may apply to the invoice and the amount decremented is prior to any taxes being applied.

Fall-off Bill Type

Select a fall off bill type, which is used when creating a credit invoice in the Billing application when a fall off takes place and a customer is entitled to a credit or a refund.

Fall-off Bill Source

Select a fall off bill source, which is used when creating a credit invoice in the PeopleSoft Billing application when a fall off takes place.

Fall-off Invoice Form

Select the invoice format for the credits that you generate from this fall off.

Project Profile

FO_PROJ_PROFILE

Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Orders, Project Profile

Use this page to define default project values.

User Order Type

Select a user order type to specify the type of order. The values that you set up on the project profile should reflect the billing, revenue, and reporting needs of the order type.

Note. The choices here are the same as those for setting up contract profiles.

Integration

Select an integration template to define the integration between PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft General Ledger. Integration templates also establish business units that are assigned to transactions by default.

Project Type

Select the project type value to use when you create the related projects for your orders.

Projects are categorized by project types. Setting up project types makes it easy to analyze all projects of a certain type.

Project Status

Select a project status to be used when PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management automatically creates a project for each order. When configuring your PeopleSoft Project Costing application, ensure that the project status value that you entered in the project profile has a processing status of Active.

Activity Type

Select the activity type that PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management should use when creating related activities for career and temporary assignments. PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management automatically creates an activity for each Assignment added to the system. Activity types categorize activities to facilitate analysis and reporting on all similar activities across all projects in the enterprise.

Activity Status

Select the activity status to be used when PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management creates the activity for the assignment.

Project Role

Select a project role, used when creating the project and activity team records when employees are assigned to temporary assignments.

Use employee default job info

Select this check box in order to have the system use the information in the employee's default job record to default to the assignment component. Otherwise, the system will use the default values specified in the user preferences configuration. When creating temporary assignments, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management needs to capture several fields to determine how the employee should be paid for the work performed for that assignment. Some of these fields include department, company, pay group, and so on.

Use employee default TL info (use employee default PeopleSoft Time and Labor information)

Select this check box in order to have the system use the information in the employee's default job record to default in the assignment component. Otherwise, the system will use the default values specified in the user preferences configuration. When creating temporary assignments, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management needs to capture workgroup and taskgroup information to determine how PeopleSoft Time and Labor should process the hours reported by the employee against the assignment.

Rate Element

FO_RATE_ELEMENT

Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Orders, Rate Elements

Enter the rate element description and define its FLSA category and rate behavior. Specify to which employee types the rate element applies.

Details

FO_RATE_ELEM_LN

Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Orders, Rate Elements, Details

Define source criteria, ChartFields, and target rows for the rate element. This information is used when creating the contract rate sets, which drive the process of the Project Costing Pricing Engine.

Note. The configuration in this page only applies when PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management is installed.

Rate Profile

FO_RATE_PROFILE

Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Product Related, Staffing, Orders, Rate Profile

Enter rate profile description, the rate elements that comprise the rate profile, and which type of employee for which the rate profile should be used.

Note. When PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office is installed without PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, only four rate profiles can be created, one for each type of employee. When PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office is installed with PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, there is no limit to the number of rate profiles that can be created. The system knows which rate profile to use in the assignment based on the configuration of the Contract Profile used to create the assignment.

Rate Action

Select to specify whether this type of rate requires a user to enter a pay rate, a bill rate, both a pay and a bill rate, or a markup factor.

• Bill Only: Only a billing rate appears on the assignment. Use this pay type for salaried staff.

• Mark-up: Instead of specifying a rate, specify a billing mark-up. Use this pay type for expenses, bonuses, and so on.

• Pay & Bill: Both rate fields appear and must be specified on the assignment. Use this pay type for hourly staff.

• Pay Only: Only a pay rate appears on the assignment. Use this pay type for employee compensation payable to the employee but not billable to the client, that you still want to track against the assignment.

Regular Time Multiplier Factor

This field should be used for overtime types of rates. In the Assignment component, when you enter a default rate and click the Calculate button, the system uses the default rate for regular time and uses the default rate multiplied by the multiplier factor specified here for overtime. For example, for regular time rate elements the multiplier factor is 1.0; for overtime rate elements the multiplier is 1.5; for double-time rate elements the multiplier is 2.0, and so on.

Note. This multiplier factor is informational only for non-exempt employees who belong to FLSA-required paygroups.

Markup Default Factor

Use this factor for rate elements with a markup rate action. The markup factor specified here defaults on the assignment page.

Time Reporting Code

Enter a time reporting code (TRC), if applicable. TRCs represent the level at which an organization must track employee time to support its administrative and compensation needs.

Note. You use TRCs for paying employees or contractors in PeopleSoft Time and Labor, but not in other applications such as PeopleSoft Payables. If you are paying a contractor with the quick invoice method through Payables, or if you are importing transactions from a system other than PeopleSoft Time and Labor, you must leave this field blank or % (percent).

Rate Option

Displays the rate option, which is determined by the value that you specified as the rate action on the Rate Element page. If the action is Pay & Bill or Bill Only, then Quantity Rate appears. If the action is Mark-up, then Mark-up appears. If the action is Pay Only, such rates are not priced and therefore the system does not create a line in the Contracts rate set.

Target Analysis Type

Select BIL for billing purposes. This is a required field.

Target Resource Category

Specify a resource category for the billing transaction. This field is optional.

Override Source

Select to specify a target analysis type, target resource category, target resource type, and target resource subcategory.

• NA Payroll Hourly Employee (North American hourly employee)

• NA Payroll Salaried Employee (North American salaried employee)

• Non-Employee

• Global Payroll Employee

Note. One and no more than one rate element in the rate profile must have an FLSA category of Regular.

Rate Element

Select a rate element to add to the profile. The Rate Profile Available To selection serves as a filter for which rate elements can be added to the profile.

Sort Order Number

Enter a value by which the system will sort the rate elements when adding them to the assignment rates grid.

Action and Reason Code

When assignments are created, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management determines whether a new employee job record needs to be created by comparing the following HCM fields specified in the assignment against those of the existing employee job records: HR Business Unit, Company, Department, and Paygroup. If the values of these fields in the assignment are the same as those of an existing job record and if that job record is not being used by another concurrent assignment, Pay/Bill Management will reuse the existing job record.

However, even if an existing job record is reused, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management may insert an effective dated record for that existing job in case other HCM fields in the assignment are different from the values in that existing job (such as tax location code or job code). If such an effective dated record is created, the system uses the action and reason code you specify here to populate that record.

Remove rapid time prompts

PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management uses the core PeopleSoft Time and Labor rapid time records to record time. However, these records are delivered without prompts. If you want prompts to be available in the Staffing Rapid Time component, once you install PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, click the Create rapid time prompts button. You only need to do this once unless a fix redelivers the rapid time records. To remove the prompts, click the Remove rapid time prompts button. We deliver PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management without prompts.

Note. If the prompts have been removed, the Create Rapid Time Prompts button appears instead.
