Using the PeopleSoft Classic General Ledger WorkCenter - My Work Pagelet

The My Work pagelet of the Main tab includes links to pages that you frequently access as well as exceptions and alerts that require your attention or action. All the delivered components can be accessed by all users by default. However, the system administrator can control access for the exceptions by User, Role and Permission List at the WorkCenter framework setup level.

If enabled by the system administrator, you can click the Pagelet Settings icon and select Personalize to tailor your My Work pagelet for your own needs. Each Financials and Supply Chain application has its own configuration IDs that enable users to select which page links to display, the display order, and whether a link should be the starting page.

PeopleSoft Classic General Ledger WorkCenter - My Work Pagelet

GL_WORKCENTER

The PeopleSoft Classic General Ledger WorkCenter hub provides the frame within which all selected content components and pagelets are accessed and displayed for use. From here, you can view and edit your most commonly-used components and be alerted to those items that require your attention.

Designed like the Journal Entry component, use this page to manage journals from within your WorkCenter transaction pane, according to security setup.

WorkCenter Budget Journal Exceptions Page

GL_WC_BJRN_EXCPT

Designed like the budget journal exceptions components, use this page to manage control budget exceptions from within your WorkCenter transaction pane, according to security setup.

WorkCenter Journals Pending My Approval Page

GL_WC_JRNL_APPR_M

Designed like the Manage GL Journal Approval component, use this page to manage journal approvals from within your WorkCenter transaction pane, according to security setup.

WorkCenter ChartField Requests Pending My Approval Page

GL_WC_FLD_REQ_APPR

Designed like the Manage Business Request Approval component, use this page to manage field request and approval from within your WorkCenter transaction pane, according to security setup.

WorkCenter Reconciliations Pending My Approval

GL_WC_GLRN_WB

Designed like the Reconciliation Workbench component, use this page to manage reconciliations that are pending your approval from within your WorkCenter transaction pane, according to security setup.

My Work pagelet - GL

The My Work links are delivered in separate sections as an option of how you might organize the links by function (Journal Processing, My Approval and Exceptions, for example). However, your administrator can design the My Work pagelet (as well as the other pagelets) to meet your specific needs. For more information, see Understanding How to Set Up PeopleSoft Classic and Fluid WorkCenters As a System Administrator

To view the My Work pagelet in its entirety, you can hover over the dotted line between the My Work pagelet and the Links pagelet until the cursor turns into a two-sided arrow, drag up or down, and left-click to anchor it in place; or, you can minimize the Links pagelet by clicking the Pagelet Settings arrow in the Links pagelet and select Minimize.

Click on the link in the left pane of the WorkCenter to display the corresponding page in the working zone (right pane of the WorkCenter). For example, for the journal-related links, the PeopleSoft Classic General Ledger WorkCenter uses the GL_WC_JRNLS page, which is designed with many of the same fields as the Journal Entry component. You can select certain common actions to perform on the listed journals from this page and you can also drill into the Journal Entry component and update an individual journal without leaving the WorkCenter. The same is true for the other links and their associated pages.

Each link (if enabled), displays a parenthetical numeric count of instances that require your attention based on the criteria for the link. The working zone functions as though you had navigated directly to the application pages, but without leaving the WorkCenter. Select the item(s) for processing, the action that you want to perform, and click the GO button.

The PeopleSoft Classic General Ledger WorkCenter - My Work pagelet includes the following delivered links to access the corresponding pages that are used within the WorkCenter:

Refine Filter Criteria link

Click this link to edit the filter criteria that is used to retrieve the data that you want to see for the Journals with Errors exception. This exception uses the Journal Generic Filter (GLJRNL3). Supply or change any of the following filter values as needed and click OK: Business Unit, Ledger Group, Fiscal Year, Accounting Period, Description, Budget Checking Header Status, Suspense Reconciliation Status, Line Business Unit, Journal Creation Date, User ID, Currency Code, Journal Total Debits, Journal Date and Journal ID.

For journal filter criteria, you are required to select values for Business Unit, Ledger Group, and Fiscal Year. This requirement is delivered to prevent performance issues. You can hover over this link to see the current selected criteria without having to navigate to the Filter Values page.

See Maintaining and Personalizing the PeopleSoft Classic General Ledger WorkCenter.

Note: The administrator can change the filter definition to make the Business Unit field optional so that you can display journals from all business units. However, the administrator must make sure that at least two criteria fields are required and that there is an index on the journal header record to support the required fields.
