PeopleSoft eProcurement Setup Considerations
You can indicate that you want to create PeopleSoft eProcurement requisitions in the work order business unit. You can add and create ePro requisitions from the Purchase/On-Hand Schedules page of the work order to procure non-inventory and open description items. Once these PeopleSoft eProcurement requisitions are loaded to the PeopleSoft Purchasing staging tables from the work order, you process them as you would any other PeopleSoft Purchasing requisition. You can also create a requisition in PeopleSoft eProcurement and enter data that links it to a work order before it is processed.
These are some important activities that you must perform in order to add or create PeopleSoft eProcurement requisitions in a work order work order:
-
For each work order business unit for which you intend to procure non-inventory and open description items, you must set up the appropriate requisition loader defaults, purchase order loader defaults, or both to indicate which requisition or purchase order business unit should be used when the work order pushes to a requisition or purchase order.
-
You also set up other default values in the PeopleSoft Purchasing business unit setup.
-
You must set up appropriate roles with the ePRO role action CANLINKWO.
Only User ID's that have the role name listed in the CANLINKWO action will see the work order related prompts in ePRO's req creation/maint pages.
-
Before you enter requisitions into the system, you must be authorized to process requisitions on the User Preferences page. Also, the user ID must be identified as a requester on the Requester Setup page, where you add defaults for requisitions.
-
Follow the technical and functional setup options in the PeopleSoft eProcurement documentation to correctly set up PeopleSoft eProcurement to integrate with PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work orders.
