Understanding Data Flows

Most information that is stored in PeopleSoft Project Costing originates from feeder systems such as other PeopleSoft applications and third-party applications. Feeder system data is posted to PeopleSoft General Ledger and passed to PeopleSoft Project Costing through Application Engine processes.

Two ways are available to implement the flow of enterprise data:

• Post data directly from feeder systems to PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft General Ledger simultaneously (dual feed).

  This is the recommended method of posting data to PeopleSoft General Ledger.

• Post data from feeder systems directly into PeopleSoft Project Costing, and then post from Project Costing to General Ledger (single feed).
