Can't wait to check out new PeopleSoft features ~
Currently we use peoplesoft as our ERP back end - it houses all of our financial data. We have a front end UI that provides the workflow and catalog management that is integrated into PeopleSoft.
- New UI tiles are versatile and easy to use
- Simplified menus across modules
- Classic navigation option is helpful for transition
- Cookie crumb navigation no longer visible or provided - making it difficult to advise other users on how to navigate to certain fields
- PO requires too many mouse clicks to navigate into details
- REQ workflow clunky

Solid Tool for Large Organization
PeopleSoft eProcurement is used at the department level across the organization for all purchasing needs outside of materials managed through our supply chain. This can include miscellaneous office supplies to order catering on advanced notice. The organization outgrew the ability to efficiently expense or justify monthly P-Cards, and automating the payment through ePro with the thousands of cost centers, restricted fund, and grant accounts eased burden on all end users. Although a delay between a department request and actually ordering will now occur, the overall benefit to stream line the financial management piece significantly outweighs any increase in timing. This review and all other details provided are my opinion alone, and not of my employer utilizing the system.
- System allows for quick ordering from preferred vendors or past orders. This can expedite the process for frequent users.
- PeopleSoft communicates with our finance department so allows for quick lookup and linking to the thousands of accounts that can be used fro purchasing. This reduces error in entering incorrect numbers that do not exist.
- Streamline flow to the direct supervisor or account control to approve the ePro request. Triggers a direct email with link to the request, and the review/approval is less than a few clicks.
- Once the initial approval is granted the current system is not setup to send any follow-up notification around additional approvals or order completion. This creates somewhat of a surprise effect on when an order will actually be made or delivered.
- Due to the volume of accounts that can be entered, there are limited restrictions for someone to entered an incorrect cost center or even one they do not own.
- Is not mobile friendly and must be logged into the organization's network to access the internal PeopleSoft platform.

Easy to support, A great tool for the users
PeopleSoft ePro is used across the entire organization for most requisitioning, punching out to vendors' websites for ordering as well as the approval process for those orders. While some business processes still utilize the core requisitioning processes, almost all of our requisitions are created from ePro. This addresses all of the ordering needs of the organization, as all users are able to submit requisitions and have the approvals routed appropriately.
- Punching out to vendors' websites - this is a significant strength as it allows users to have the shopping experience within the ordering process while remaining "in" PeopleSoft
- Approval Process - the approval process for ePro is robust and configurable enough to meet our organization's approval requirements
- Options - the ePro options are many and the ability to configure those options allows for the requisitioning process to fit the needs of our organization instead of the other way around
- Robustness of facilities within the browser - PeopleSoft ePro uses a frame to encapsulate the punchout, and this is not always the best supported
- PeopleSoft Test Framework does not work with ePro punchout, which requires manual testing and does not allow for end to end automated testing
- eProcurement and traditional "Core" procurement do not share the same functionality exactly, which can cause confusion within the user community

PeopleSoft User
PeopleSoft eProcurement is used to order supplies, goods, and services. PeopleSoft eProcurement is used across the whole organization. We are able to see when purchase orders are sent and items are received.
- I like that I can track my order, I can tell when it has been received.
- I like that the system is used across the college so everyone that is involved in the order process can see the status.
- I also like the way it all comes together on my budget reports.
- I would like to get email notifications when the order has been processed.

PeopleSoft eProcurement - have you bought in?
We use our ePro for our non-merch purchasing, basically anything we don't sell to our customers. We use the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) model. This has served us fairly well. Support is good but at times it is not as responsive as we'd like. Not having to manage the hardware or OS is nice but also limits how to manage or troubleshoot issues.
As for the system itself, it is very configurable and meets most of our needs. That being said if you are in the process of implementing ePro make sure you know very well, or have a resource that is highly knowledgeable with best practices in designing your workflow. If this is not done correctly, you can end up making a lot of extra work with changes that inherently come with a system over time. We use this as a standalone system with very minimal integration and it works albeit not as efficiently as if it were more integrated with our financials.
Overall I like the system especially the ability to have a vendor portal for real time notification/communication on POs. ( a function we have not utilized as of yet ).

- Workflow works great as long as you set it up correctly. Don't let a consulting resource lead the definition if you are not 100% sure they are deeply familiar with best practice configuration in PeopleSoft.
- End user presentation with workbenches makes the system easy to navigate.
- IaaS is a great option if you want to have the ability to customize the system yet not have to deal with the infrastructure headache.
- It would be nice to see more flexibility to be able to dispatch Purchase Orders to both print and email in one process run. Currently they have to be done separately.
- Ability to escalate service requests online rather than having to call would be nice, especially if moving from a low sev to a moderate sev.
