PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain Management has recently released new features and functionalities in the newest update image. Check out the summary we have provided about the new image update, and don’t forget to view the new PeopleSoft FSCM PI20 Highlights video.

Fluid Approvals

The products pictured below are replacing the Fluid Approvals which currently use the Mobile Application Platform (MAP) technology. These new products use PeopleSoft Fluid technology rather than MAP. Fluid Approval technology retains the same functionality as the previously released Mobile Application Platform (MAP) technology while including functionality such as adding comments and viewing attachments to pending transactions.

To see a demo of this feature, check out the PeopleSoft FSCM PI20 Highlights video by Oracle (:12 to 2:56).

Fluid Forms and Approval Builder

This feature will enable you to design online forms, specify the approval process required, and deploy them to users in your organization. To take advantage of this feature, you will be required to use the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface.

To see a demo of this feature, check out the PeopleSoft FSCM PI20 Highlights video by Oracle (2:58 to 3:59).

Multiple Item Image Capability

This feature enables you to view multiple images in eProcurement by checking the “multi image” installations options page. It can also be defined at the purchasing and supplier levels.

For optimal performance, Oracle recommends creating separate folders for the image files based on Set ID, Item Catalog, and Item Category. They also recommend the following file sizes:

• Large images –  500×500 or 120k
• Medium Images –  200×200 or 25 k
• Small Images –  40×40 or 2k

ChartField Modifications for ePro Mobile Approvals

This feature uses ChartField display templates to extend configuration to control the display of individual ChartFields on PeopleSoft fluid components. ChartFields can now be displayed in a consistent manner on fluid transaction pages across products.

Expanded GL Spreadsheet Upload

This feature has a new look and gives you the optional features of having the system run the edit journal process after the import process. It also allows you to have the system send a message to the approvers after the edit process.
