Understanding Team Staffing in PeopleSoft Project Costing

Project managers can staff a project and its related activities from the Project Definitions - Team page. The Project Definitions - Team page maintains a central view of all project assignments and scheduling. You can assign team members to multiple schedules in a variety of project roles.

Project teams can be further defined into separate activity teams. You can assign a project team member to multiple activity teams or none at all. Employees must belong to the project team before you can assign them to an activity team that is related to the project.

Note: If you use PeopleSoft Program Management, you can add resources directly to activities and let the system automatically assign them to the project team.

You can select only employees for membership to project and activity teams in Project Costing. Employee data can be loaded into the Financials database from the Human Capitol Management System (HCM) database. You can also load job and job code data from the HCM database to staff a team by job code by using an application messaging process that employs these enterprise integration points (EIPs):

  • PERSON_BASIC_SYNC and PERSON_BASIC_FULLSYNC to load employee data.

  • JOBCODE_SYNC and JOBCODE_FULLSYNC to load job code data.

  • WORKFORCE_SYNC and WORKFORCE_FULLSYNC to load job data.

You can also enter employees directly into the Financials database by using the Personal Data (Edit) page in the Personal Data (Edit) component (EX_PERSONAL_DATA2).
