PeopleSoft Purchasing

Vouchers can be built from various sources in PeopleSoft Purchasing, including purchase order and receiver lines, evaluated receipt settlement (ERS) vouchers, return to vendor (RTV) transactions, and procurement card system vouchers. You can perform matching among vouchers, purchase orders, receivers, and inspection status to improve control and accuracy. You view related documents across the entire procure-to-pay process.

See Entering and Processing Vouchers Online: General Voucher Entry Information.

See Processing Batch Vouchers.

See Running the Matching Process.

PeopleSoft Payables

The interaction of PeopleSoft Purchasing and PeopleSoft Payables data and processing enables you to match vouchers with all purchase order and receiver details, and to generate payments without waiting for invoices, using the Evaluated Receipt Settlement matching process. In addition, the PeopleSoft Payables voucher build process automatically generates invoices from Return to Vendor transactions and Procurement Card statements created in PeopleSoft Purchasing to streamline and centralize voucher creation. With instant access to all related current and historical procurement data, the procurement analysis tools enable you to view trends or track one item across all of procurement.

PeopleSoft Purchasing purchase order contracts and PeopleSoft Payables vouchers components are combined in one place within the system, providing full contract functionality through a single user interface.

Source-to-Settle Vendor Information

All applications in the source-to-settle business process use the Vendor component to create and maintain vendor information.

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to review a list of setup tasks for your organization for the products that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding PeopleBook documentation.

You can use also provides a component interface to help you load data from your existing system into PeopleSoft vendor tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists all of the components that have component interfaces:
