General Workflow Information

Many tasks that you perform are parts of larger tasks that involve several steps and people working together. For example, when you hire an employee using PeopleSoft Human Resources, you start a process that involves several individuals:

  • One who signs up the employee for benefits.

  • One who reviews and approves equipment requisitions.

  • One who enters tax information for payroll.

PeopleSoft Workflow automates this entire process as well as other processes.

Note:

While several workflow business processes are delivered with your HCM system, the system is delivered with all workflow turned off. You must activate PeopleSoft Workflow to use it.

Note:

You must set up workflow for PeopleSoft self service applications using pages on the Set Up HCM, and then Common Definitions, and then Self Service menu.

See Using Workflow with Self-Service Transactions.

Note:

Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of all notifications in one central location.

Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications.

Notifications delivered with HCM Image 47 or later must use Notification Composer.

For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Enterprise Components: Understanding Notification Composer.
