PeopleSoft Corner Forum

As you may have noticed, I've launched a new PeopleSoft forum. The topic areas are currently a General Discussion forum and a Job Posting forum. I hope you'll check it out.

I didn't launch it because I think we need another PeopleSoft Forum. IT Toolbox Forum and Yahoo PeopleSoft Fans forum seem to have plenty of traffic and generate lots of good questions and answers. It's just that a blog is a very one-way communication vehicle. That's not necessarily a bad thing -- I enjoy writing about what I know and avoiding what I don't. And when users comment, it's always regarding an article I've written so questions are relatively easy to answer.

But I do get a lot of personal e-mail messages asking specific questions, and one of my posts was hijacked and turned into Q&A forum. So instead of handling these questions in an ad-hoc basis, I decided to address them in a forum so everybody can benefit.

Another thing I hope to get is a better sense of what's really on the PeopleSoft Community's mind -- at least the part of the PS community that visits my web site.

Since my current contract will be terminating in the near future, job opportunities are on my mind so I decided to add the job opportunity section. I plan on purging this section every 30-60 days so that the jobs stay current.

You don't have to register as a user to use the forum, but I think you'll find your experience will be better if you do.

I'm using a new forum product called FireBoard that integrates with Joomla, the open source Content Management Software that powers my web site. I like the features it provides -- especially the RSS feed and automatic e-mail notifications for specific threads. But it is a bit new so if you find any blatant errors or performance problems please let me know.

I have two issues, I wondered if anyone else has had these happen.

First. Sometimes I have one window open inside another. In this situaion when we are working on a session and we try to open a new window in order to find out information, the new window opens inside the initial window causing us to lose our work.

Second. When sessions have been submitted the occasional employee gets input twice (by the system ) it also allows this. So if I enter 12 hours for one employee, it will read 24 hours in payable time.

Any suggestions?

You'll probably get a better response if you post questions like this on the forum at http://www.erpassociates.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,32/. Your entry will show up there and also on the front page. If you post it here I'm probably the only one that will see it.

I haven't worked much with Time and Labor so I've never seen either of these situations. I'd be suspicious of any PIA or Portal customizations. You'll want to make sure PeopleTools is fairly current and has a recent patch applied.
