Understanding Services Projects

PeopleSoft Services Procurement facilitates managing projects by enabling service providers to log time directly against work orders and activities that are associated with projects.

When you use projects in PeopleSoft Services Procurement, you can enter and modify project details. You can search or sort projects by different criteria, and you can access the Project Activities page to define activities by project when Project Costing is installed.

Note: Service Projects are only associated to requisitions and work orders through the ChartField distribution. Projects are only available in PeopleSoft Services Procurement if the ChartField configuration is defined with the project ChartField set to a status of Active.

Set up the following attributes before entering project information when the Project Costing product has been installed:

  • Project business units and business unit options.

  • Project types.
