Integrating With PeopleSoft HCM

When you implement both PeopleSoft Services Procurement and HCM applications, you can configure HCM as the system of record to maintain user details. When the HCM Person Integration installation option is enabled on the Services Procurement Installation Options page, the enterprise administrators can register a PeopleSoft Services Procurement user as an HCM person with a unique employee ID and create unique operator login profiles within the HCM database.

The following six users are either registered in the HCM database with a unique Person ID, or they are created in the SCM database without a Person ID. Each user has a specific role that enables them to perform specific tasks within the application:

  • Service Procurement Administrator: This user can register all other users in the Services Procurement system, as well as perform basic application setup.

    This user is created in the HCM database and has a unique person ID.

  • Approver: This enterprise user may be designated as requisition, work order, or time and progress log approver.

    This user is created in the HCM database and has a unique person ID.

  • Requester: This enterprise user determines specific requirements for a resource and creates a requisition listing those requirements.

    The requester might designate a service coordinator to source the requisition and handle the fulfillment process. This user is created in the HCM database and has a unique person ID.

  • Service Coordinator: This user may work for the enterprise or the supplier.

    The user who handles the sourcing of requisitions to different suppliers and also handles supplier bids to ensure that the request is filled with the most qualified resource.

    The service coordinator must have a unique service procurement person ID.

  • Service Provider Contact: This is a non-enterprise user who manages a team of service providers and handles bidding with the service coordinator.

    This user is registered in the SCM database and has a unique service procurement person ID.

  • Service Provider: This supplier resource is submitted as a potential candidate for a sourced requisition.

    The service provider is registered in the SCM database and has a unique services procurement person ID. Once this user is registered in the SCM database, personal data is sent back to the HCM database, where a new person entry and operator login profile is created for the service provider.
