PeopleSoft Maintenance Management Integration with PeopleSoft Purchasing and PeopleSoft Payables

PeopleSoft Maintenance Management integrates with PeopleSoft Purchasing and PeopleSoft Payables to enable you to:

  • Set up requirements and determine estimated costs based on materials and services that you need to purchase.

  • Copy these requirements to a schedule and add other materials and services that you want to purchase to the schedule.

  • Select each row in the schedule and load it directly into the requisition or purchase order staging processes.

  • Select non-inventory parts from an equipment parts list (EPL) template, if available for the asset that is selected for the work order task asset.

    You can also update an existing EPL with non-inventory parts and quantities selected for the task.

  • Determine the availability of non-inventory parts based on pegged purchase orders or requisitions.

  • Access PeopleSoft Purchasing to create a purchase order or a requisition and tie it back to the associated work order using the work order key values (business unit, work order ID, task, and resource line).

  • Track the procurement transaction's progress by reviewing the status, which appears in the work order's schedule, as well as reviewing the Purchasing and Pegging inquiry.

  • Run and analyze a Work Order Task Material Readiness report to resolve any delays in material availability of non-inventory materials between the scheduling and the start of work.

  • Identify non-inventory or open description resources within the requirements or schedules that are already on-hand, including items that you have already purchased and have at your disposal for use on a work order.

    The parts that you identify as on-hand in the requirements and schedules inform the technician who is performing the work on the asset that the one or more on-hand parts are readily available for use on the task.

In addition, you can enter requisitions and purchase orders directly in PeopleSoft Purchasing, and enter vouchers in PeopleSoft Payables that can reference a work order business unit, work order ID, and resource type if the resource was not originally scheduled in the work order. Costs for these items are pulled back into the work order and flow down to the actual resource row.
