PeopleSoft Finance Tech LeadResponsibilities:
- Resolved several critical production issues during AP, GL, EX and AM month-end close.
- Resolved the voucher upload process issue in production which was failing for “single row subquery returning more than one rows” error. The problem seems to be with some unwanted XML vouchers being pulled into the process flow incorrectly which eventually caused the issue.
- Worked on AM month end close with the business and resolved issues regarding the AM Depreciation process (AM DEPR CALC) where certain assets does not depreciate properly according to the rate set by the federal government. These did not create proper accounting entries in the journal either.
- Resolved high priority issues with expenses where some of the reports did not generate the accrual entries which leads the expense processing process to generate incorrect and imbalance expense accounting entries.
- Resolved performance issues with critical process by determining which part of the process takes time and modularizing the code or recreating the SQL’s in a better way to run the process within minimal time.
- Resolved issues with the user build process where the process still makes only the seasonal jobcode as active for all the expense related roles even though that employee has a regular active row.
- Resolved unique constraint issues with critical voucher upload, journal generator process during month end and identified the issue to be with some invalid data got pulled into the process.
- Resolved issues with user build process which was causing problems for only 3 users whose expense profile and roles are not built properly in the system. The reason found out to be with the way it populates regular and seasonal rows for the employees in the user build process, it overwrites the previous correct empl rcd and jobcodes.
- Resolved issues with slow performance of the integration broker which seems to be the problem with high volume of messages getting stored in the main IB tables itself instead of being archived. Created a new custom process to archive such very old message data which is no longer needed.
- Worked on the modifying the existing integration setup for one of the external vendors when they upgraded their system. This allows them to send the orders to PS from their upgraded system. Modified the transformation process to transform their data to the requisitions and send the status back to them.
- Resolved issue with the user build process for Canada users where atleast 5-10 new Canada users were causing collision with the existing US users with the same OPRID as the US users.
- Automated the Asset adjustment/transfer process by creating a custom interface which performs both asset adjustment and transfer from the input file provided.
- Created a new interface to process all the accrual entries and post journals from the new time & labor system in HR since the existing system has been replaced.
