When you add an order in PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office, you must select the user-defined order type that describes the transaction. Because user-defined order types map to one of two system-defined order types, a temporary order is really a user-defined order type that's mapped to a temporary system order type, and a career order is a user-defined order type that's mapped to a career system order type.

Career orders are requests for one or more people to perform work in a permanent capacity at a client of the staffing organization as an employee of that organization. Creating a new career order is similar to creating a temporary order, except for specific fields that pertain to the career aspects of the position, such as salary and prospective fees.

Temporary orders are requests for contingent workers for whom the client has no need for permanent positions. The customer can request one or more resources on the same order. Creating a new temporary order is similar to creating a career order, except for specific fields that pertain to the billing and payroll aspects of the position.

Career placement information applies to career and converted temp-to-hire orders, but not to temporary orders.

The same order may include several resource requests (order lines) specifying a distinct set of qualifications for the different types of resources needed by the customer.

Note: Many fields on these pages appear by default from the Staffing - Job Data page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, User Preferences, Define User Preferences and click the Staffing - Job Data link).

Use the Order page (FO_ORDER_HDR) to record general information about a job order for a permanent or a temporary employee.

Staffing > Orders and Assignments > Add/Update Orders

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Order page (1 of 2). You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Order page

Note: When you add an order, the system provides the order status of Draft by default. Use this status while the contractual stipulations for the service have not yet been finalized with your customer. Most fields in the Order component can be changed when the order has this status. However, you cannot create assignments for draft orders. Once you confirm the contractual terms of the service with your customer, change the order status to Unfilled. If you have installed PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office with PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, once an order is saved with an Unfilled status, the system automatically creates a project and a contract and associates them with the order. At that point, several fields will no longer be enterable within the Order component. For example, note that you cannot change the Bill To Customer information after the status has changed to Unfilled and the order has been saved.

Field or Control

Description

PC Business Unit (PeopleSoft Project Costing business unit)

Displays the PeopleSoft Project Costing (PC) business unit associated with the order. Every PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office order must be associated with a PC business unit even when the PC module is not used. When you add an order, you must specify which staffing branch owns the transaction. PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office uses the staffing branch configuration to automatically determine the PC business unit to which the staffing branch belongs and associates the PC business unit with the order.

Branch

Displays the PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office branch associated with the order.

Order

Displays the order ID number.

Order Type

Displays the user-defined order type that you selected when you initiated the order.

PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office has user-defined order types and system-defined order types. When adding an order, you enter only the user-defined order type. The system associates user-defined order types with their system-defined order type.

The two system-defined order types are: temporary and career. You can create as many user-defined order types as you need, each always mapping to either a temporary or a career system-defined order type. When you add an order, depending on the user-defined type you choose and its associated system-defined type, the application captures different data elements and different system behaviors and validations occur.

  • Unfilled: Indicates that you have placed the order but not filled it.

From that point on, a number of fields will no longer be editable.

  • Filled: Indicates that you have placed the order, found all needed resources, and created all the necessary assignments. This status is given to an order automatically when all resource requests for the order have assignments created for them.

PeopleMatch page

PeopleMatch searches are identical for temporary and career orders.

Note: You can search for applicants but you cannot create temporary assignments until the applicant is hired as an employee or non-employee. If you installed PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management, the system sends a message to PeopleSoft HCM to retrieve an employee ID (EMPLID). Because a delay may occur in the time the databases receive and respond to the message, the employee record is set to pending within the PeopleMatch search results. Once you complete the hire process, the system changes the personnel status to Employee or Non-Employee. You can then complete the assignment process. Career assignments may be filled by either applicants or employees.

You must run the Index Creation process to incorporate any changes to employees and applicants that can affect matching.
