Field or Control

Description

Item Availability

Select one or more rows and click this button to determine if the selected items are available as of the due date. The row must be pegged before you can determine if an item is available.

See Procurement of Material, Labor, and Tool Resources Using the Purchase/On-Hand Schedules Grid.

Add Purchase Order or Add Requisition

Click this button to access the PeopleSoft Purchasing Add/Update Purchase Order component, the PeopleSoft Purchasing Add/Update Requisition component, or the PeopleSoft eProcurement Create Requisitions component to create a purchase order or requisition. The button that displays in the work order depends on your selection of either Purchase Order,Purchasing Requisition, or ePro Requisition on the work order business unit's Integrations page.

Load Purchase Order(s) or Load Requisition(s)

Select the resource lines for which you intend to create purchase orders (or requisitions) and then click the Load Purchase Order(s) button for a work order task. The selected rows are then staged into the purchasing related stage records (PO_ITM_STG and PO_DIST_STG). Once the rows are staged, you must access PeopleSoft Purchasing to run either the PO Auto Sourcing process or the PO Calculations and PO Creation processes to create the purchase order. This stages the purchase orders. When you click the Load Requisition(s) button, this flags the selected work order rows and you then must access PeopleSoft Purchasing to run the Load Requisitions process.

Note: Normally, organizations schedule PO Auto Sourcing, PO Calculations, PO Creation, and Load Requisitions to run automatically at regular intervals. Requisitions that are created in PeopleSoft eProcurement use the same staging tables as requisitions created in PeopleSoft Purchasing.

See Understanding the Requisition Business Process.

Copy from EPL (copy from Equipment Parts List)

Click this button to access the Copy from Equipment Part List page. This button only appears on the page if the asset selected for this work order task is associated with one or more EPL templates that contain non-inventory or open description items.

Note: Inventory items are not included in the item list that displays based on the selected template.

See Inventory Resource Scheduling.

Add to EPL

Click this button to access the Add to Equipment Parts List page. You select a Purchase/On-Hand row with a non-inventory or open description item that you want to add to one or more existing EPL templates before you click this button. If this is an open description item, you must enter the description, planned quantity and UOM for the item.

Click this button to access the Work Order Procurement Inquiry component in Maintenance Management. This inquiry displays all the purchase orders and requisitions that are associated with this work order task.

Purchase/On-Hand Schedules - Status/Availability tab

Field or Control

Description

WO PO Staging (Work Order Purchase Order Staging) and WO Req Staging (Work Order Requisition Staging)

Displays the purchase order or requisition staging status, depending on the work order business unit procurement option selected. These statuses are owned by PeopleSoft Maintenance Management and are used to identify the loading progress and status of the item.

The status values are:

  • New: the default status when you add a new Purchase/On-Hand Schedules row is added to the work order task.

  • Ready to Stage: displays when you select the Load Req or PO button for the selected rows.

  • In Process: displays when you select the Load Req or PO button indicates that the selected rows have been staged, and the processing when you click the Save button has completed.

    This status signals that the selected rows are in the Req Load or PO Load process. You must run the Req Loader or PO Load processes to create the Requisition or PO.

  • Complete: displays when the staging process completes successfully and a Requisition or PO is created.

    The status can also display as Complete if the row was backward tied from a Requisition or PO to a work order.

Peg Status

Displays the pegging status. Values are:

  • Open

    Quantity is pegged to supply (Requisition, PO)

  • Not Pegged

    The quantity needed of the selected item is not pegged to supply (Requisition, PO).

  • Completed

    Scheduled PO rows for non-inventory items do not always require receiving. The PO carries an attribute that determines if receiving is required. If receiving is required, the peg status is set to Complete when the parts are fully received based on the PO's receipt process. If receiving is not required, then the peg status is set to Complete when the PO is closed.

  • Canceled

    This indicates that the requisition or the PO to which the work order is pegged has been canceled. It also can indicate that scheduled quantity of the work order has been decreased so that the quantity pegged was decreased to zero, and the work order row is not pegged to any other supply.

Note: When you either add a purchase order or requisition in PeopleSoft Purchasing and tie it to a work order, or you load the row to create a purchase order or requisition, the selected quantities are automatically pegged.

Pegging Inquiry

Review this inquiry to track the quantities pegged for this work order task. You can access this inquiry only after the row quantities are pegged.

Note: The Pegging Inquiry for Inventory and Purchase/On-Hand schedules are the same.

Item Availability

Displays the availability of the item. The following values are possible:

  • Yes, if the quantity is available.

  • No link after you select the Item Availability button. Click the link to access the Item Availability page, which describes the reason(s) the item is not available.

  • Not Checked, if you have not clicked the Item Availability button.

    If you previously checked a row for Item Availability and you modify the Item, Planned Qty, Due Date, or UOM values, the Earliest Available Date, Item Availability, and Need Date Qty Available field values will be initialized to Not Checked.

Item SetID

Displays the SetID used to create the item in Items > Define Items and Attributes.

Supplier Reference

Enter the supplier of the part.

This field is typically populated from an Equipment Parts List or task template.

Transaction Source

Identifies the source of the purchasing transaction and determines whether the transaction costs are Scheduled or Actuals. If a transaction source cost is Scheduled, the Total Scheduled Costs display on the Cost page of the work order. If a transaction source cost is Actuals, you must run the Cost Summarization process to view the Total Actual Costs on the Cost page of the work order.

If a transaction source is Actuals and is returned from a feeder application like inventory direct issue or purchase/on hand actuals like Pcard, or Voucher the Schedule qty (Inventory grid) and Planned Qty (Purchase/on-hand grid) with 0 (zero) is populated. A transaction source is used to isolate the costs in a work order from integration points.

The transaction source values that can appear in the field are:

  • Purchase Requisition

    Purchase Requisitions have a value of 04 and are considered scheduled.

  • 05 = Purchase Order is considered Scheduled.

  • 06 = Procurement Card is considered Actuals.

  • 07 = Vouchers is considered Actuals.

  • Work Order

Note: For Purchase/On-Hand Schedules rows that are created from either a Pcard or Voucher, the value in the Planned Quantity field value will be zero, and the row will be disabled. The disabling of these rows prevents any changes and keeps the work order in sync with the feeder applications that created them.
