How OAN fits with PeopleSoft: capture, control layer, validate, and build vouchers via Voucher Build and Matching
The Problem

Getting invoices into PeopleSoft still takes a lot of manual work.

The work around vouchers, capture, coding, matching, and approvals, is still manual, and modernizing it inside an aging, customized PeopleSoft is costly and risky.

Manual voucher entry

Entering invoices as vouchers by hand, through Quick Invoice and online voucher entry, is slow and error-prone as volumes grow.

Voucher Build errors and recycle

Bad supplier, location, or coding data sends vouchers into the Voucher Build recycle queue, where AP fixes them one by one before they can post.

Matching exceptions

The Matching process holds vouchers when the purchase order, receipt, and invoice fall outside tolerance, and each exception is resolved manually.

ChartField coding is manual

Assigning the right ChartFields, the General Ledger coding for account, department, fund, program, and project, is manual and easy to get wrong, especially on non-PO vouchers.

Aging and heavily customized

PeopleSoft is stable but often on-premise and heavily customized. Adding modern automation inside it is costly and risks your next upgrade.

Limited capture and mobile

Native document capture and mobile approvals are limited, so invoices still come in as paper and email, and approvals wait until someone is back at their desk.

The Solution

Modernize AP on top of PeopleSoft, without touching your core.

OAN handles the modern, flexible part of AP on its own layer, validates against PeopleSoft, and feeds clean vouchers into Voucher Build. You get modern AP without customizing or upgrading your core.

On top of PeopleSoft

Add the modern layer

Capture, code, match, and approve on the OAN layer, with AI and mobile, so your team gets a modern AP experience without changing the PeopleSoft core.

Connected to PeopleSoft

Validate before it builds

Every voucher is checked against PeopleSoft in real time: suppliers, purchase orders, receipts, ChartFields, and tolerances, so it is right before it reaches Voucher Build.

Built natively

Feed clean vouchers in

Validated vouchers flow into the PeopleSoft Voucher Build process (the batch that creates vouchers) with correct ChartFields, so they build and match first time. PeopleSoft stays the system of record.

Architecture

Your invoices stay in PeopleSoft, not in another system.

OAN does not become a second place your invoices live. It drives PeopleSoft's own processes, Voucher Build and Matching, and keeps only its working records: capture rules, ChartField and match logic, approvals, and audit history. PeopleSoft stays the single source of truth for the built voucher, the accounting entries, and the Pay Cycle.

Invoices captured from any channel and coded to ChartFields automatically
Validated live against PeopleSoft suppliers, purchase orders, receipts, and match rules
Exceptions cleared before Matching holds them or Voucher Build recycles them
Fed into PeopleSoft Voucher Build clean, so vouchers build and match first time

Capabilities

What happens to an invoice before it becomes a voucher.

Capture from any channel, with AI

Email, PDF, scan, or electronic data interchange in. AI reads the header and line detail, so no one keys invoices into Quick Invoice by hand.

Automated ChartField coding

The General Ledger coding, account, department, fund, program, and project, assigned by rule and by learning, so fewer vouchers hit the recycle queue.

Flexible matching

Two-way and three-way matching against live purchase orders and receipts, with tolerances you set, resolving exceptions before PeopleSoft Matching ever sees them.

Route and resolve exceptions

Match holds, recycled vouchers, and one payment across many invoices: route and resolve each with your own rules, before they reach PeopleSoft.

Mobile approvals

A configurable approval matrix with mobile sign-off, working alongside the PeopleSoft Approval Workflow Engine so approvals do not wait for someone to be at their desk.

Controls and audit

Duplicate and fraud checks, segregation of duties, and a complete audit trail from capture to the posted PeopleSoft voucher.

Your Unique Rules

Every finance team runs AP a little differently.

These are the cases that rarely fit one fixed process. You configure how each one is handled on the OAN layer, instead of paying to change a customized PeopleSoft.

The invoice does not match the purchase order

PeopleSoft Matching holds the voucher when it breaks your match rules and tolerances. Decide instead: auto-accept within tolerance, route to the buyer, or hold, tuned per supplier and category, so far fewer vouchers stall in the Matching process.

One payment, many invoices

Group and net invoices, credits, and adjustment vouchers the way your treasury team pays, then build them cleanly for the PeopleSoft Pay Cycle.

Complex ChartField allocations

Split one invoice across departments, funds, projects, and accounts as ChartField distribution lines with allocation rules, instead of hand-keying every distribution in the voucher.

Business-unit and SetID differences

Different approval matrices, match rules, and document requirements per business unit or SetID, all on one layer, all still building vouchers in PeopleSoft.

What Finance Gains

Faster payments, a cleaner close, and lower risk.

Protect working capital

Capture early-payment discounts, cut late-payment penalties, and pay on time with clean vouchers ready for the Pay Cycle.

Close faster

Fewer Voucher Build errors and matching exceptions mean less month-end firefighting and a cleaner close.

Control and compliance

Audit-ready from day one, with duplicate and fraud prevention and segregation of duties enforced before a voucher is ever built.

Modernize without re-implementing

No re-implementation and no core customization. Add modern AP on top and get more life out of the PeopleSoft you already run.

FAQ

Common questions about PeopleSoft, vouchers, and control.

OAN feeds clean, validated vouchers into the PeopleSoft Voucher Build process, the batch process that creates vouchers, usually through Integration Broker or a flat-file interface, with the correct ChartFields so they build and match first time. PeopleSoft remains your system of record.

No. OAN adds modern capture, coding, matching, and mobile approvals on top of PeopleSoft without changing the core. There is no re-implementation and no upgrade risk, so you extend the life of the system you have already customized and stabilized.

No. OAN is a control layer, not a data silo. It orchestrates PeopleSoft's own processes and keeps only its working records: rules, mappings, approvals, and audit history. Your transactional data stays in PeopleSoft.

Yes. Non-PO invoices are coded to the right ChartFields (account, department, fund, program, and project) by rule, which cuts the errors that normally send vouchers into the Voucher Build recycle queue.

Yes. It performs two-way and three-way matching against live PeopleSoft purchase orders and receipts with tolerances you define, and resolves exceptions before the PeopleSoft Matching process ever holds a voucher.

OAN provides a configurable approval matrix with mobile sign-off that complements the PeopleSoft Approval Workflow Engine, so approvals move quickly and are captured in the audit trail before the voucher is built.
