Understanding Project Request Options

This topic provides an overview of project request options.

The project request options establish which records to use for various prompt tables, control how project request IDs are generated, define discount rates and currency conversion rate types, establish identifiers that map each type of project initiative to a project owner, establish project request priorities, and specify which users can edit project request data.

Note: If you intend to install and use PeopleSoft Project Portfolio Management in conjunction with PeopleSoft Program Management, users enter, update, review, and approve project requests in the PeopleSoft Project Portfolio Management application in the PeopleSoft EPM database. In this case, you do not need to set up the project request options in the PeopleSoft Financials database for PeopleSoft Program Management. Instead, you set up the project request options in the PeopleSoft Project Portfolio Management application. For instructions regarding the setup of project request options that are in the EPM database, refer to the PeopleSoft Project Portfolio Management .
