Integration with Other PeopleSoft Databases
This topic discusses the relationship that PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management has with the following databases:
PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain Management (FSCM).
PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM).
Pay/Bill Management is delivered as part of the FSCM and HCM databases. It is tightly integrated with several products within these databases in order to complete the pay and bill business processes. Both databases are required to run PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management.
Most PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management pages and processes are part of the FSCM database. PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management leverages the FSCM database so that you can perform these business processes:
Create customer records.
Create contact records.
Add applicants and hire them as employees or non-employees.
Create, manage, and process orders and assignments.
Process payroll for employees.
Create and track customer purchase orders.
Manage staffing suppliers.
Create vouchers from contractor time.
Process billing.
When PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management creates customer and contact records, the information is stored in the same FSCM database tables used by other applications such as PeopleSoft Contracts, PeopleSoft Billing, and PeopleSoft Receivables. However, some information, specific only to staffing is stored in additional tables (beginning with the letters FO) which are used only by PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management and PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office.
The same applies to applicants and employees added through PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management. Most of the information is stored in the same FSCM database tables used by other applications such as PeopleSoft Resource Management and PeopleSoft Expenses. However, some information, specific only to staffing is stored in additional tables (beginning with FO) which are used only by PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management and PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office.
Similarly, order and assignment information is stored in the same tables used by PeopleSoft Resource Management and PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office. Information specific to PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management and PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office is stored in additional tables prefixed with FO.
Some PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management pages and processes are part of the PeopleSoft HCM database. PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management leverages the HCM database so that you can perform these business processes:
Enter time for employees and contractors.
Process time entry.
Process payroll.
Note: Throughout the PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management documentation you will notice that navigation paths sometimes begin with HCM Database. This signifies that the pages that you access are part of the HCM database. If no database is specified prior to a navigation path, you are accessing pages in the FSCM database.
