Introducing PeopleSoft Procurement WorkCenter for Buyers and Approvers
We’re excited to introduce the PeopleSoft Procurement WorkCenter, a game-changing tool designed to simplify and streamline your procurement processes. Whether you’re a Buyer or an Approver, this centralized workspace gives you clear visibility into transactions that need your attention, so you can act quickly and efficiently.
Why Procurement WorkCenter Matters
Organizations are always looking for ways to boost efficiency, gain better visibility, and maintain control over procurement. The PeopleSoft Procurement WorkCenter, delivered in FSCM Image 54, does just that. It’s a role-based, centralized framework built specifically for procurement pros, with actionable exceptions at its core to help you tackle bottlenecks and keep operations smooth.
As one of our customers wisely put it, “Dashboards are to inform, while WorkCenters are to perform.” And perform it does! The Procurement WorkCenter consolidates all your procurement tasks and data into one intuitive workspace. No more jumping between menus or reports—everything you need is right there. Whether it’s a requisition needing attention, a purchase order awaiting approval, or an exception to resolve, you’re just a click away.
Actionable Exceptions: Your Problem-Solvers
Actionable exceptions are system-flagged items that fall outside your business rules or require immediate action. The Procurement WorkCenter includes four key exceptions tailored for Buyers to proactively manage tasks and address issues:
- PO Sourcing Errors – Flags requisitions that failed during PO creation.
- POs On Hold – Highlights purchase orders currently on hold.
- PO Budget Check Exceptions – Identifies POs with invalid budget status.
- Document Tolerance Errors – Catches POs exceeding document tolerance limits.
Pending Activities: Your To-Do List
In addition to exceptions, the WorkCenter includes four Pending Activities to keep you on top of your workload. Each activity comes with a count and relevant details, so you know exactly what needs your attention:
- Requisitions to be Sourced – Approved requisitions ready to be turned into POs.
- POs not Dispatched – POs that haven’t been sent out yet.
- PO Acknowledgement – POs where the supplier changed delivery details, requiring your review.
- Reconcile PCard Statements – Procurement card charges needing attention.
Resolving issues is a breeze—just select one or more rows, choose the appropriate action, and you’re done. The WorkCenter even lets you jump directly to the transaction to fix the problem on the spot.
For Approvers: Stay in Control
Approvers, we’ve got you covered too! The Procurement WorkCenter gives you visibility into pending requisition and PO approvals, helping you maintain spending control and ensureing policy compliance.
Bonus Features
The WorkCenter also includes quick access to Procurement Insights and common procurement transactions. And we’re not stopping here—future updates will bring more exceptions, enhanced functionality, and expanded roles, including support for Requesters.
