Using PeopleSoft Maintenance Management Work Orders on Requisitions

In PeopleSoft Purchasing you can only associate a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order to a requisition for non-inventory and description only items. Once you make this association, the requisition schedule is pegged to a work order. You will use the Pegging Workbench to associate work orders to inventory items on a requisition.

In PeopleSoft Purchasing there are a few different methods of defining a requisition to support a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order. These methods are:

  • PeopleSoft Maintenance Management creates their own requisition staging tables directly so that the PeopleSoft Purchasing Requisition Loader process can generate the requisition from their tables.

    If the requisition was created through the Purchasing Requisition Loader processes and the requisition originated in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management, then the fields on Maintain Requisitions - Schedules page will contain the work order information passed from PeopleSoft Maintenance Management.

  • You manually create the PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order association directly when defining a requisition in PeopleSoft Purchasing.

    You manually associate PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order information to a requisition schedule by selecting existing work order information on Maintain Requisitions - Schedules page. You can also manually associate a maintenance work order to a requisition schedule even though the item ID on the requisition does not exist on the work order parts list. Ma king this association will add the item to the work order.

Plus, if you change the work order information that is already associated with a requisition schedule, the system will delete the existing requisition distributions and copy in the work order distributions from the work order itself. Plus, the pegging information will be updated to reflect the new work order information.
