Supplier Relationship Management Features
Purchasing: Attachments on Receipts
PeopleSoft Purchasing enhances delivery information by enabling you to add comments and attachments on the mobile fluid delivery page. If the delivered checkbox in the classic component is deselected, it removes the documents and comments from the mobile page as well.
Strategic Sourcing
PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing now supports a fluid user interface that enables line-bid groups, request for information (RFI) and auction capabilities. The RFI process is divided into two steps; general information, and review and submit.
eSupplier Connection Enhancements
PeopleSoft Supplier Relationship Management solution performs OFAC checks for suppliers, and supplier change requests. If a supplier’s name and address are listed on the financial sanctions report, the approver receives an alert message to review and validate the supplier as eligible for payment before approving. This message is only to alert the approver; it doesn’t stop the approver from approving the supplier or change request.
Mobile Inventory: Attachments on Mobile Inventory
PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory adds the Delivery Done option to the advanced search feature. This enables you to search based on the delivery status of the receipt item or other search parameters.
Enterprise Service Automation Features

PeopleSoft Expenses enhances the use of credit cards by adding the shared credit card feature for my wallet.

After charges are made on the credit card and submitted to the credit card company, you’ll load the credit card data to your system using the Load External Data Sources page.
Project Costing
PeopleSoft Project Costing allows you to exclude certain transactions from being integrated into project costing. This eliminates unnecessary volume in the project resource table.
PeopleSoft delivers the project data compression process in the projects Work Center. This fluid page allows you to review projects ready for compression and schedule the compression process.

Corrective transactions include creating a new work order to schedule and perform the necessary repair work, adding a new corrective task to the work order, reporting the failure, or creating a service request to investigate and resolve the problem.
