CU has embarked on a journey to upgrade its PeopleSoft Finance System ... and we at the OUC want you to travel this road with us. In fact, we need you to help us build the road. After all, you know the processes, the potential, and the pain points of our financial system better than anyone. Feel free at any time to give us FIN Feedback.
You can rely on this webpage ... to explain what's happening during each step of our FIN upgrade journey ... to present options for users to gather information (as detailed as you like, at the time-point you prefer) ... and to enable your comments and feedback throughout the trip.
The University's HR System is also getting an upgrade. The formal name for our combined effort is the PeopleSoft HCM/FIN 9.2 Upgrade - and our arrival date is November 2015.
PeopleSoft 9.2 delivers an improved user experience that fundamentally changes how users interact with PeopleSoft. 9.2 takes the user experience to the next level with a more intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
Users will now navigate effortlessly with a global, free text search and have the ability to act directly on the search results. Information is presented in the most visual manner possible, making it easy for casual users to navigate and work faster. Out-of-the-box WorkCenters help frequent users dramatically boost productivity by consolidating user tasks, exceptions, alerts, links, reports, and queries into a single, secure, role-based, command center that can be personalized.
Attachments and notifications will reduce manual effort and save time by eliminating the need to store supplemental information outside of the system. An email can be created directly on a transaction page that will include a link that takes the recipient directly to the transaction for review or action.
Forms can now be built to replace paper or Excel-based forms for ChartField requests, expense delegate requests, and other departmental forms. Each form built includes separate tabs for the form, instructions, and attachments. Workflow-based approvals can also be implemented to provide an audit trail for tracking progress.
Click the Module Snapshots tab to find further information about each module of PeopleSoft 9.2.
Module Snapshots are user-friendly documentation on the functions and features of FIN 9.2 modules.
Each campus controller has identified specific individuals from the campus to serve as key contacts during the design phase. These persons participate in the FIN Upgrade campus outreach sessions (Fit/Gap Analysis, Business Process Design, etc.).
