PeopleSoft Contracts Implementation

PeopleSoft Enterprise 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.

PeopleSoft Contracts also provides component interfaces to help you load data from your existing system into PeopleSoft Contracts tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists the components that have component interfaces:
