Understanding PeopleSoft Resource Management Without PeopleSoft HCM
This section lists a prerequisite and discusses resource profiles.
On the Resource Setup - Common Installation Options page, select PeopleSoft Financials Database as the source for employee and non-employee data. This selection enables the processing rules for PeopleSoft Resource Management to serve as the employee data source.
Note: If you use PeopleSoft HCM 8.0 or higher, take advantage of the built-in integration with PeopleSoft Resource Management to manage resources and resource competencies. PeopleSoft Resource Management uses enterprise integration points to request and send data between the Financials database (where Resource Management information resides) and the HCM database (where employee and competency information resides).
Resource profile information is maintained in the Financials database if you do not use PeopleSoft HCM. The Financials database tables that store resource profile values are discussed in a subsequent topic in this documentation.
