PeopleSoft Project Costing Implementation

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 documentation.

Project Costing also provides component interfaces to help you load data from the existing system into Project Costing tables. You can use the Excel to Component Interface utility with these component interfaces to populate Project Costing tables:
