Tracking Assets in Peoplesoft HCM

With the Covid-19 pandemic across the globe, many organizations have asked their employees to work from home. Most of these organizations allow employees to take home the organizations assets. It is very important for any organization to track and maintain a record of the assets.

A recent blog from Oracle introduced me to this capability available within Peoplesoft HCM to track the Company's assets. This blog is a detail on the exploration that I have done on that feature.

Setting up the Company assets is very easy. You need to navigate to the Setup HCM > Product Related > Workforce Administration > Company Property. This set up allows you to add the various assets in your organization. You can save information like the make, manufacturer as well as the model number. There are different property types available. You can add your custom property type by navigating to the PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > Translate Values  or through your application designer.

The Property Value tab lets you tag the asset to a department. Also you can capture the Serial Number, Asset Number and property value.

This property can then be easily tagged to the employee by navigating to the Workforce Administration > Job Information > Company Property
