Using PeopleSoft Order Capture
PeopleSoft Order Capture is designed to enable easy order management for the CSR. The Order Capture system seeks to maximize system resources so as to minimize the CSR's energies. For example, PeopleSoft Order Capture:
Delivers pages that facilitate rapid order capture.
Provides icons, hotkeys, and tab ordering to reduce the number of keystrokes and mouse clicks.
Limits the number of page refreshes (or server trips) so that there is minimal waiting time, if any.
Defaults known information whenever possible.
Utilizes a header toolbar that contains functional icons and pertinent display-only order information.
Provides personalization capabilities to the CSR, whereby the CSR or system administrator can define the preferred means of data entry of product information into the order.
Enables the CSR to easily personalize orders and quotes.
PeopleSoft Order Capture simplifies the order entry process by providing the following hotkeys at the header level and the line level.
Use the following hotkeys for header level activity.

There are various channels through which a PeopleSoft Customer Relationship Management (PeopleSoft CRM) CSR or sales representative can create or view orders and quotes.
A CSR can access PeopleSoft Order Capture directly by selecting Orders and Quotes on the PeopleSoft CRM menu. From within Orders and Quotes, the main options are:
Add Quote.
Create a new quote. This option takes you directly to the quote form for quick and direct access.
Add Order.
Create an new order. This option takes you directly to the order form for quick and direct access.
Add Bulk Order.
Create a bulk order. This option takes you directly to the bulk order form and allows you to select multiple recipients that will receive an order.
Search Orders and Quotes.
Search to find an existing order or quote. This option provides direct access to a search component to find an existing order or quote. From there, you can find the orders that you are looking for and access those orders for inquiry or maintenance purposes.
Find Products.
Search or browse for a specific product within a specific catalog or across all catalogs.
Sales representatives can quickly and seamlessly navigate to quote or Order Capture from the Products section of the Leads or Opportunities page in PeopleSoft Sales. They can specify a product and then navigate directly to the Entry Form within PeopleSoft Order Capture. Customer and product information relevant to Order Capture then pre-populates from the lead or opportunity to the corresponding order and quote entry fields.
The 360-degree view of the customer also allows for order and quote entry. CSRs can select the Order/Quote value from the Add Transaction field in Interaction Manager, which takes them directly to the Add a New Order or Quote Capture page in PeopleSoft Order Capture. Known values from the 360-degree view pre-populate the main order entry page.
CSRs can also view recent orders and quotes from their workspaces in Interaction Manager. CSRs see each of the following, by default:
Order ID/Quote ID.
Date of order/quote creation.
Order/quote status.
CSRs can navigate to an existing quote or order by using a link on the order ID or quote ID.
PeopleSoft Order Capture integrates with PeopleSoft CTI capabilities. A customer can enter an order ID by using the telephone, and a successful match launches order status for that order ID.
PeopleSoft Order Capture delivers the following users and roles:

PeopleSoft Order Capture supports business event logic, in the form of application class sets. These events are used out-of-the-box in the communications industry:
Supported Event |
Description |
This event fires after product and site information has been entered on the order line. The event fires on the first server trip following product and site entry on the order form. |
|
This event fires after the CSR clicks the Save button. This event allows for logic that preprocesses an order before final changes are saved to the database. |

PeopleSoft Order Capture generates correspondence automatically and manually:
Automatic correspondence are initiated at the point of order or quote submission.
Manual correspondences are initiated when the Send Correspondence button in the toolbar is clicked.
Upon order or quote submission, PeopleSoft Order Capture sends automatic email based on the MCF Type setup for Order Confirmation, Quote Confirmation and Order change. A related object is created for each automatic acknowledgement of a correspondence. This appears on the Related Actions tab for the order or quote. Related actions are not created for manual correspondence.
For manual notifications, the CSR clicks the button to access a Create Correspondence page where she can send text messages to pre-populated recipients through different communication channels, either email or print. PeopleSoft Order Capture delivers two templates that can be used when a correspondence is sent:
Order Confirmation is a thank you note with order status information for the customer.
Quote Confirmation is a note stating that the quote has been registered by the system.
You can add attachments to the text message and you can also schedule its exact delivery. After a correspondence is sent, the system automatically creates an interaction on the 360-Degree View for the associated contact.
Note. Before creating a correspondence, make sure that a contact is available on the entry form. The system pre-populates the Recipients field of the correspondence request with the contact defined for the order.
The following table summarizes the possible correspondence activity for PeopleSoft Order Capture:
Template Name |
Channel |

Product, Units, Quantity Order |
Choose a preferred sequence for using the Add Product(s) functionality on the main Entry Form. This allows you to change how you like to enter multiple products at one time. |
Product Entry Option |
Specify whether you want PeopleSoft Order Capture to search by Product Description First or Product ID First. Use this to improve performance by setting the value you normally use to search for products. |
Product Search Option |
Specify whether you want PeopleSoft Order Capture to search by finding an exact match first or to show all possible results. Use this to improve performance. |
Product Separator |
Identify a product line separator. The Add Product(s) field on the Entry Form has powerful processing functionality contained within it. It allows for the insertion of a special character to divide product lines. For example, you can define this as a colon or semicolon, and then during order entry, you could enter two separate sets of product information. Note. Our system-delivered data specifies a semicolon. |
UOM/Qty Separator (Unit of Measure/Order Quantity) |
Identify a UOM/Qty separator. The Add Product(s) field on the Entry Form allows for the insertion of a special character to divide information for multiple product lines. For example, you could add two cases of product 10003 by entering 10003:2:cs. This would then populate an order line with two cases of product 10003, and would save you time. Note. Our system-delivered data specifies a colon. |
Order Capture Business Unit |
Specify your default business unit. If you regularly use a particular business unit, then this setting saves time during order and quote entry. |
PeopleSoft Order Capture searches are quite extensive and enable you to find existing orders or quotes in a variety of ways. You can use multiple search criteria to narrow your search for existing orders or quotes. Once you identify the criteria by which you most often search for orders and quotes, you can personalize the Order Capture search pages and save that personalization. The next time that your search page launches, you will work from the personalized search page that you have created.
Note. If there is more than one result for a search, the results can be distinguished by different criteria, including Customer, Date Created, Status, and Source.

This field contains processing logic so that you do not need to enter exact information. Partial matches retrieve the Product Search Results Page, which lists all of the closest matches. Note.

Access the PeopleSoft Real-Time Advisor Intro page.
The dialog is a series of pages that contain questions and answers. Answers do not provide a static response from PeopleSoft Real-Time Advisor. Instead, the buyers responses determine the user segment that they are placed in, as well as the predefined weightings that are applied. If you choose to walk the buyer through the dialog, a recommendation for a product, service, or solution will be presented at the end of the dialog. You can also force a recommendation by clicking the Recommend button.
Click Exit to return to the calling application, which in this case is PeopleSoft Order Capture.

This section provides an overview of holds and discusses how to view the hold summary.
Hold validations fire automatically as soon as you submit an order or quote. You can access the Holds page to see if an order has been put on hold. If there is a hold on the order or quote, Status changes to Hold Order. If there is no hold, a "Currently No Holds" message is viewable. There are a variety of reasons as to why your order or quote will be placed on hold. There are also several ways in which you can resolve the problem.
The following table identifies each hold in PeopleSoft Order Capture:
Hold Code |

Hold is triggered if the customer specified is setup as an anonymous Business Object. Use this hold when the fulfillment system does not support anonymous Customers. |

In this section, we provide an overview of how you can change orders, and we also explain how to maintain orders, based on fulfillment status.
Order maintenance and quote revisioning are triggered by the same toolbar button. This button allows changes to order data based upon configurable rules defined in the Capture Type Workbench. These rules determine the status of the order, and order lines, and will allow changes to certain data elements based upon this status.
To better understand order maintenance, we must first consider the both the header statuses and the line statuses that we deliver out of the box, and how they map to the PeopleSoft SCM fulfillment system. An order for example cannot be changed if has been shipped, or if the fulfillment system has not acknowledged its existence. In this overview section, let's provide two tables, one of which explains PeopleSoft Order Capture header statuses. Second, we can look at how line statuses in CRM map to PeopleSoft SCM.
There following header statuses that can be displayed on the Entry Form:
Header Status |
Description |
Orders have an Open status after submission but prior to fulfillment. The pricing is locked for quotes. |
|
Orders and quotes retain a status of Pending, when in edit mode. If you save the order or quote before submission, the order or quote retains the status of Pending. This allows the saving of a draft status. |
|
Indicates that the order is in the process of fulfillment. Quotes cannot have a status of In Process since quotes are not part of fulfillment. |
|
Indicates that there is an open hold on the order, based on hold conditions. |
|
Indicates that the Fulfillment system has placed a hold on the order. |
|
The order has gone through the fulfillment process. It has been shipped, or installed depending upon whether it is a tangible product or a service respectively. |
|
Order or quote has been canceled and no further action on this order or quote is necessary. |
The following table shows the delivered line status mappings between PeopleSoft Order Capture and PeopleSoft SCM:
X (Canceled) |
1 (Canceled) |
1 (Canceled) |
Q (Requisitioned) |
1000 (Open) |

P (Pending) |

H (On Hold) |
3500 (Fulfillment Hold) Note. Holds that originate in CRM have the status, 9000. This is to differentiate a Hold that originated in CRM (status 9000), from a Hold that originated in SCM. |

For the purposes of an integration with PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management, PeopleSoft Order Capture allows you to maintain orders where the header status is at least Open (1000) and not yet Complete (6000). PeopleSoft Order Capture allows order maintenance out of the box, where PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management is the fulfillment system under the following conditions:
If the header status is greater than Open (1000) but less than Complete (6000).
If the line status is less than Open (1000), line configurations and attributes can be changed.
If the line status is less than In Fulfillment (4000), line customer information can be changed.
If the line status is less than In Fulfillment (4000), line pricing data can be changed.
PeopleSoft Order Capture delivers integration points that support a realtime check into inventory to determine if the changes can be made based on the fulfillment status of the order. Additionally, all of the necessary EIPs are delivered to pass the changed data to fulfillment in order to process the change request.
See Understanding Fulfillment.
You can add products to an order or quote, change an order or quote, change the dates for a quote, and so on. With related actions, the system keeps a record of and link to the original quote or order, so that you can maintain a history of how the quote or order progressed. Both the revisioned quote and the original quote may be used and both remain in open status. This allows you to offer different revisions of the products and pricing to your customers, and allows the CSR (or sales representative) to order from either of the quotes. Only the revisioned order can be used once changes have been made to the order.
When order maintenance is complete, various order capture pages reflect the change activity. The Summary page now contains a list of all the changes that have been made. Upon order submission, not only is a new business project fired, updating the Related Actions page, but the History page also tracks those changes.
Note. Changes to a quote can be made through the quote revisioning process. Creating a quote revision copies the instance of the quote to a new quote, and increments the revision number. This allows you to modify the quote as required.
