Approving Supplier User Registration Using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface

This topic discusses approving supplier user registrations using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface.

Note: If users have the authority to approve suppliers using the Fluid approval component, then these users are redirected to fluid approval user interface, and the classic approval component is hidden from the menu. Otherwise, the classic approval component displays on the menu, and a user can access the classic approval pages from the EC worklist or from the classic work center.

PeopleSoft provides mobile approvals using the Enterprise Component Fluid Approvals framework. Approvers can take Application Workflow Engine (AWE) actions on select PeopleSoft transactions pending their approval using the Fluid User Interface.

Using the Approvals tile on the Employee Self Service page, you can manage approvals for supplier user registration. These are requests from existing suppliers to access the supplier portal.

Approvers can perform the following actions using the approval pages:

  • Review supplier user account and supplier information.

  • View roles associated with a specific supplier user.

  • View permission lists associated with a specific supplier user.

  • Add comments for approval actions and view comments from previous reviewers.

  • View the approval chain.

Note: The Fluid User Interface supports small and large form factors.

Supplier User Registration Approval Sequence

Supplier user registration approvals follow this sequence:

  1. A requester creates a new supplier user account using the Request a User ID functionality of the User Registration page and saves the transaction.

    See User Registration Page

  2. The transaction is flagged as pending approval.

    The supplier user account is not created while the approval is pending.

  3. The approver approves or denies the transaction.

    The final approval triggers the creation of the supplier user account.

    See User Registration - Approval Header Detail Page.

This section discusses how to set up Fluid approvals for supplier user registration.

Set Up Approval Framework

PeopleSoft delivers the approval process IDs on the following Enterprise Components setup pages:

  • Register Transactions page (Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > Transaction Registry > Register Transactions).

    You should not modify the values on this page (with the exception of the Notification Options values, which you can alter).

  • Configure Transactions page (Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > Transaction Configuration > Configure Transactions).

    You can modify the values on this page to meet your approval requirements.

PeopleSoft delivers the SUP_OB_USER process ID for supplier user registration approval.

See:

Register Transactions Page

Configure Transactions Page

Set Up User Roles and Permissions

Define approval path steps by user role on the Setup Process Definitions page (Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > Approval Process > Setup Process Definitions) for the SUP_OB_USER process ID.

Next use the User List Definition page (Enterprise Components > Approvals > Approvals > User List Setup) to define approval user lists to use with the approval process.

See:

Setup Process Definitions Page

Review Registered Components and Configure Page Composer

Use the Developer Registration page of Page Composer (Enterprise Components > Page Composer Administrator> Developer Registration > Registration) to review a list of registered components. Users cannot add new components for registration, but you can edit existing components per your business needs. Registered components and the changes made to them are then available in the Toolbox panel in Page Composer.

Next use the Page Composer page (Enterprise Components > Page Composer > Page Composer) to edit the design of the Fluid Approval pages based on the registered components. Users can design the existing placement of the fields in the fluid approval pages as well as add buttons and links in line with specific business requirements.
