PeopleSoft provides mobile approvals using the Enterprise Component Fluid Approvals framework. Approvers can take Application Workflow Engine (AWE) actions on select PeopleSoft transactions pending their approval, using a smart phone or tablet. The tablet version is also available for desktop use.
Using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface, approvers can view a list of pending approvals for supplier change requests submitted by suppliers, and add comments on the centralized Pending Approvals page. An approver or multiple approvers review the change request details, along with other details such as Contact details, and Error details. Each approver in the workflow selects an appropriate action, such as Approve, Deny, Pushback (only available for multiple approvers), or Request Information within the approval pages.
Oracle PeopleSoft delivers Notification Composer Framework to manage the setup and administration of notifications in one central location. Once you have adopted the Notification Composer feature, you must use it to create new notifications and manage your existing notifications. Notifications delivered with FSCM Image 49 or later must use Notification Composer.
For more information about Notification Composer Framework, see Understanding Notification Composer.
