PeopleSoft eProcurement Integration

PeopleSoft Supplier Contract Management integrates with PeopleSoft eProcurement through documents that you create based on a requisition. When you create an eProcurement requisition, a link is available that accesses the document authoring system. And, within the document authoring system, you can define the business unit and requisition to which you want to assigned the document.

The intent for requisition document creation is to define a related document and wizard that captures additional information from the a requester as they progress through the contract request. When a document type is setup for the contract request, you can specify that the system use the type with an eProcurement or Purchasing requisition. Along with the requisition, the requester creates a request document by launching a wizard that captures needed information pertaining to the contract request. The requester can then provide the required information in the supporting document.

When you award the requisition to a contract, the contract specialist can reference the original request document and make use of any wizard responses within that request document to help drive the content and fill in required data on the actual contract. The benefit of this process is that by the time that the contracting specialist becomes involved in the process, the requester has already been prompted for and provided much of the information up front.
