Contracts Activity Guide
Creating contracts just got a whole lot easier!
Released in FSCM Image 14 is a new activity guide for creating contracts within the Contract module. Activity guides are step-by-step processes within PeopleSoft taking the users through activities one step at a time in the correct sequence. For customers who have struggled with the lengthy process, this will be a great added value to the end user
From the CFO tool:
“Added the Contracts Activity Guide feature that provides sequential tasks, which has to be followed to make a contract active. The tasks defined in the Contracts Activity Guide are linked to an already existing Contracts component, Billing Plan component and Revenue Plan component. It implements the PeopleTools Activity Guide feature that will facilitate customers to define step-by-step guided procedures for users to complete.”
PeopleBooks are already updated with Image 14 content and the activity is fully described in the online documentation.
As you can see, the activity guide is displayed on the left and is a 10 step process for contract creation.
This is a welcome addition for activity guides, simplifying the process of contract creation and easily identifying incomplete tasks. The contract creation process requires so much information that, at some point in the process, the end user has to stop, save, find or gather additional information required for that contract creation and then come back to the process. The activity guide really helps identify where someone left off or what tasks remain incomplete before activating the contract.
