Proposed Modifications Review with PeopleSoft
After compiling your list of modifications, work with your PeopleSoft Account Executive on these proposed changes.
Remember that there might be another way, short of rewriting code, to do what you want to do. It's always useful to reconsider the functional and technical issues, with the help of an experienced expert in the system. Often, they can suggest another way of achieving the functionality that you want, ideally, through the standard system.
And it may be that PeopleSoft is already planning and designing, for a future release, a feature similar or identical to what you have in mind. Particularly if your requirement doesn't represent something unique to your company's individual way of doing things, but is rather a genuine functional requirement typical of many payroll departments, we might have other customers who have requested we add such a feature to our standard system.
PeopleSoft may have already designed the feature that you need. If this is the case, you can work with PeopleSoft, through your Account Executive, so that we can jointly get that feature into your system.
It's always to your advantage to remain in close contact with PeopleSoft on configuration issues. For example, even if you do all the work on designing and implementing a modification, if PeopleSoft subsequently takes it over and makes it part of our standard application, then you'll be free from the ongoing maintenance liability.
