An order is a request for temporary or permanent workers. The processing of these orders is similar.
Setup tables (which are configured during implementation) define the values for many of the fields on the order pages. In addition, the setup of customers, employees, and applicants is also essential to the creation of orders.
To create an order, your implementation team must configure these setup tables properly. Users then select the proper values when entering information in the prompt fields on the order pages. Otherwise, you cannot enter data in some required fields or save the information to your database.
Staffing Front Office shares the Order and Assignment tables with Pay/Bill Management, providing seamless integration between these two applications.
Staffing Front Office also shares the order, assignment, and resource calendar tables with Resource Management. Sharing information in these tables facilitates availability information exchange when a resource is assigned using either application. However, orders and assignments added in Staffing Front Office are not visible in the Resource Management components and vice versa.
The result of an order being filled by a candidate to perform a task for a prescribed time period or on a permanent basis. |
|
The type of position for which the customer is being billed. |
|
A request by a customer of a staffing agency to find one or more people to perform work at the client site for a specific time period or in a permanent capacity. |
|
Part of the job code configuration. The pay grade defines the pay and bill rates typically associated with a job code and can be used as a guideline when negotiating the assignment rates with your customer and your employee. |
|
Feature of the Staffing Front Office application used to search for available candidates and match those candidates to open orders. |
|
An individual who is responsible for the customer who is utilizing your staffing organization to place the order. You define the sales user in the setup of the customer. The sales user can be overridden in the job order. |
|
Customer service representative on a specific order responsible for order fulfillment and other aspects of customer service. You define the service user in the setup of the customer. The service user can be overridden in the job order. |
When you add an order in Staffing Front Office, you must select the user-defined order type that describes the transaction. Because user-defined order types map to one of two system-defined order types, a temporary order is really a user-defined order type that's mapped to a temporary system order type, and a career order is a user-defined order type that's mapped to a career system order type.
Career orders are requests for one or more people to perform work in a permanent capacity at a client of the staffing organization. Creating a new career order is similar to creating a temporary order, except for specific fields that pertain to the career aspects of the position, such as salary and prospective fees.
Temporary orders are requests for contingent workers for whom the client has no need for permanent positions. The customer can request one or more resources on the same order. Creating a new temporary order is similar to creating a career order, except for specific fields that pertain to the billing and payroll aspects of the position.
Career placement information applies to career and converted temp-to-hire orders, but not to temporary orders.
The same order may include several resource requests (order lines) specifying a distinct set of the qualifications for the different types of resources needed by the customer.

Note. When you add an order, the order status defaults to Draft. Use this status while the contractual stipulations for the service have not yet been finalized with your customer. Most fields in the Order component can be changed when the order has this status. However, you cannot create assignments for draft orders. Once you confirm the contractual terms of the service with your customer, change the order status to Unfilled. If you have installed Staffing Front Office with Pay/Bill Management, once an order is saved with an Unfilled status, the system automatically creates a project and a contract and associates them with the order. At that point, several fields will no longer be enterable within the Order component. For example, note that you cannot change the Bill To Customer information after the status has changed to Unfilled and the order has been saved.
PC Business Unit (PeopleSoft Project Costing business unit) |
Displays the Project Costing (PC) business unit associated with the order. Every Staffing Front Office order must be associated with a PC business unit even when the PC module is not used.

Staffing Front Office uses the staffing branch configuration to automatically determine the PC business unit to which the staffing branch belongs and associates the PC business unit with the order. |

There are two system-defined order types: temporary and career. You can create as many user-defined order types as you need, each always mapping to either a temporary or a career system-defined order type. When you add an order, depending on the user-defined type you choose and its associated system-defined type, the application captures different data elements and different system behaviors and validations occur.

PeopleMatch searches are identical for temporary and career orders.
Note. You can search for applicants but you cannot create temporary assignments until the applicant is hired as an employee or non-employee.
If you installed Pay/Bill Management, the system sends a message to HRMS to retrieve an employee ID (EMPLID). Because there
may be a delay in the time the databases receive and respond to the message, the employee record is set to pending within
the PeopleMatch search results. Once you complete the hire process, the system changes the personnel status to Employee or Non-Employee. You can then complete the assignment process. Career assignments may be filled by either applicants or employees.
You must run the Index Creation process to incorporate any changes to employees and applicants that can affect matching.

Use the Assignment pages to capture the details required to place candidates on an assignment.
Staffing organizations often provide a number of guarantee days associated with career assignments. When the candidate resigns or is terminated within this guarantee period, the customer may be entitled to a credit or a refund in what the industry calls a fall off.
The billing schedule is used with career assignments only. The total amount included in schedules must equal the placement fee agreed upon with the customer.
Having the system create additional jobs is applicable only when you have Pay/Bill Management installed with Staffing Front Office. If only Staffing Front Office is installed, the concept of additional jobs is not used and all assignments are created with EMPL_RCD zero.
Note. To enable multiple jobs for Staffing Front Office, on the PeopleTools Options page, in the General Options group box, select
the Multiple Jobs Allowed check box.
Refer to the Setting Installation Options for PeopleSoft Applications chapter in the PeopleSoft Application Fundamentals PeopleBook.

After you enter the required pay and bill rates, the system displays your profitability or margin for the assignment.
Note. When creating an assignment the system defaults the rate elements that display here from the rate profile configuration.

Target Margin and Apply Margin |
Enter the percent of margin that you want to achieve, and then click the Apply Margin button.

You may recalculate margins as many times as you want. |
Detail No (detail number) |
Displays an auto-sequenced number for each type of rate captured for the assignment. This field is informational only. |
Rate Element |
Displays the rate element code that corresponds to the type of rate being captured. Rate elements are defined through system configuration. For example, you may define pay and bill rate elements to capture regular time rates for North American Hourly Employees, bill-only rate elements to capture bill rates for North American Salaried Employees, and markup rate elements to capture markup factors to apply to miscellaneous expense reimbursements. |
Pay Rate |
Enter the amount per hour you will pay employees for the work they are performing at the customer's site for the assignment. This field is only available for rate elements configured with a rate action of Pay and Bill or Pay Only. |

Note. There are two types of costs included in additional costs. They are general overhead or fixed costs established at the staffing branch level and workers' compensation costs associated with the job code and state in the workers compensation configuration tables. |
Margin Target |
When margin rates are within or outside acceptable levels, the system uses the following indicators to tell you whether you are achieving acceptable or unacceptable margin rates:
Your implementation team configures the values that the system uses in margin calculation. Your organization bases these calculations on the costs associated with filling a position, as well as the expected profit that is generated when you fill the order. You can save an order with any of these indicators. |
Rate Purpose |
Displays the general purpose of the rate element:
The rate purpose is used by Pay/Bill Management to determine how overtime pay rates should be handled according to FLSA stipulations. For Payroll for North America employees who are non-exempt and belong to paygroups configured as FLSA-required, the overtime pay rates captured are only an estimate because Pay/Bill Management will rely on Payroll for North America to apply the earnings code multiplier factors to the regular time pay rate in order to compute the overtime premium. |
Rate Action |
Displays how this type of rate should be captured:
|
Time Reporting Code |
Displays the time reporting code (TRC) that is used in Time and Labor to determine the rules that apply to the hours, as well as the earnings codes used in payroll. |
