An initial Proof of Concept was performed using the delivered PeopleSoft Payment Request functionality. However, the delivered PeopleSoft Payment Request form did not have the SRS required fields and controls to meet all Non-PO APV requirements.
SRNS IT Developers; designed and developed a bolt on Payment Request system was created to replace the Site-Wide Forms.
To accommodate SRS specific requirements a custom bolt-on fluid self-service interface called the “SRS Payment Request Center” was created to enable more flexibility of the user interface and provide tailored workflow to each site-wide form individually.
Using AWE (Approval Workflow Engine), the delivered PS Payment Request processes will process data through the voucher build process to create a voucher to be processed into a payment.
This approach minimizes maintenance, avoids customizations, and maximizes usability/functionality.
