Implementation Considerations
To implement a PeopleSoft application for an organization, you design the system's business structure and then you apply that structure to the system. Before you can do that, you must determine the best way to map the new system to the business structures, practices, and procedures.
Begin by examining the organization's needs thoroughly before entering data and transactions. You should:
Analyze the payables processing requirements according to the business and organizational needs.
Review the current environment and consider the changes that might be made now and in the future.
Because PeopleSoft Payables is sophisticated and configurable, there are a number of steps involved in implementing a new system. These are the key steps:
Determine the organization's payables requirements.
Configure PeopleSoft Payables to meet those requirements.
Set up the control tables.
Set up PeopleSoft security.
Convert data from existing systems.
Process vouchers and payments.
Generate reports and inquiries.
