Understanding Staffing Suppliers

Staffing suppliers supply contractors that may be used to fill a customer staffing order when there are no employees with the required skill set available. Contractors are stored in the human resources database as non-employees. You can enter time for contractors in Oracle's PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management Rapid Time component or you can enter a supplier invoice directly into PeopleSoft Payables. In either case, an accounts payable voucher may be generated.

You can generate vouchers for two different scenarios:

• When contractor time is entered through the PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management Rapid Time component.

• When a supplier sends you an invoice and you enter it directly into PeopleSoft Payables.

When creating vouchers through PeopleSoft Payables, you gain global functionality and other existing Payables processes.

PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management does not support the PeopleSoft HCM person model: an individual with the same EMPLID having different roles (employee or non-employee) in different job records. Rather, PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management requires that each EMPLID use only one type of role for all job records.
