PeopleSoft Maintenance Management Integration with PeopleSoft Program Management
If you use PeopleSoft Program Management along with Project Costing, you can create a work order that is associated with a Project Costing-managed project from PeopleSoft Program Management. Once you create the work order, you can create work order tasks, define resource requirements, schedule resources, and execute the work order similar to any other work order.
If PeopleSoft Program Management is installed and a work order is created from PeopleSoft Program Management or Project Costing, users can assign generic and named labor, materials, and tool resources to a work order that are established for a project in PeopleSoft Program Management. PeopleSoft Program Management also enables users to create resource pools, which consist of specific employee IDs, and associate one or more resource pools with a project and a project's activities. The employees in a resource pool can charge time against the project and its activities. Because activities are tied to work order tasks, resource pools that are set up in PeopleSoft Program Management enable you to set up work order access security to allow the members of a resource pool to access work orders and work order tasks in the Work Order, Express Work Order, and Technician Workbench components in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management. In other words, only employees who are specified in a resource pool for a project and project activity can access and charge time to the associated PeopleSoft Project Costing managed work order task. Work order access security for resource pools can work together with work order access security for shops to determine the technicians who can charge time to a work order task in the Technician Workbench. You set up the type of work order access security that you want to use in the work order business unit.
