Understanding Mass Transaction Manager

Regular business cycles sometime require you to make the same change to a large group of assets. The ability to adjust and transfer many assets at once is essential to efficient asset management. To help you with this aspect of asset management, PeopleSoft introduces the Mass Transaction Manager tool, which can used to carry out the necessary changes to your assets.

Suppose a business restructuring requires you to transfer all assets from the marketing department to the corporate communications department. Transferring these assets manually can be onerous and likely to introduce errors. Mass Transaction Manager, on the other hand, enables you to select a particular set of assets from the database, define the desired changes on those assets, and make those changes by running the Mass Transaction application engine.

You can use Mass Transaction Manager to define mass transactions and simplify mass transaction definition by storing information that enables you to select certain data from the database and modify it in specific ways. With Mass Transaction Manager, all the SQL necessary to retrieve rows for processing is defined within each transaction. Users can then define additional selection criteria using the run control page, which, when run, will create a dynamic where clause based on the additional criteria. Asset Management is delivered with a full complement of transactions that serve the needs of most business applications.

Note:

All of the former Mass Change transactions are available in Mass Transaction Manager so you can seamlessly transition to Mass Transaction Manager.
