PSoft Financials V8.9 Questions and Answers
General PeopleSoft V8.9 System Questions
Since I have PeopleSoft Financials V7.5, will that mean that I automatically receive PeopleSoft Financials V8.9 access?
No, the security setup in PeopleSoft V8.9 is much different than PeopleSoft V7.5. Therefore, we are asking ALL supervisors to submit a Security Request form for PeopleSoft Financials V8.9 to setup their staff member(s) with the appropriate access. The new security form can be found at: http://www.mcg.edu/peoplesoft/documents/pssecurityaccessform_v89.pdf.
There is also a document that explains the different security roles listed on the security form, this document is helpful in deciding which roles to grant your staff members for access. This document can be found at: http://www.mcg.edu/peoplesoft/ps_v89_security.htm under the security roles documentation link.
This document should be completed by no later that October 22, 2008 for access to be granted on the go-live date.

eProcurement / Requisition Questions
Can I approve my own requisition?
No, you will not be able to approve your own requisition. There is built-in eProcurement workflow that determines the approval route for requisitions. The departmental approver is the first approver in the workflow. The departmental approver is decided by the Department ID, and which individuals were setup as ePro approvers on the Department Authorized Signature Form. If you need a copy of this form, it can be found under Financial Accounting under the Controller's Division website, or at this url: http://www.mcg.edu/comptroller/documents/deptauthsign.pdf.
