SKILLS

  • Knowledge of ISO20022 would be advantageous

Functional Requirements

  • Extensive PeopleSoft Expertise: At least 5 years of demonstrable experience with PeopleSoft FIN 9.2, focusing on Banking, Cash Management, and Accounts Payables modules, with the ability to align system capabilities to business needs.
  • Knowledge of SWIFT and Payments Systems: Prior experience with SWIFTNet messaging or similar payment systems, enabling seamless integration of business processes with industry standards.
  • Understanding of Technical Concepts: Foundational understanding of PeopleTools 8.5x/8.6 and PeopleCode, including Application Packages, to effectively collaborate with technical teams and translate business requirements into technical specifications.
  • Data Management Expertise: Exposure to swift file generation and SQL knowledge (preferably Oracle databases) to support data analysis, reporting, and integration efforts.
  • Strong Reporting and Documentation Skills: Proven ability to document business and functional requirements clearly, along with experience in preparing reports for project approvals within large enterprises.
  • Payment and Financial Expertise: Experience working in projects involving payment systems, with a clear understanding of operational and compliance requirements for financial transactions.

Background

  • Oracle PeopleSoft (HCM and FIN) is a fundamental component of the UN-client Application infrastructure, and the current application version is 9.2 (PeopleTools 8.60) in both Financials and HCM.
  • UN-client Treasury Services uses the Banking and Accounts Payables modules in PeopleSoft Financials. The management of payments are done through the Accounts Payables module.
  • UN-client must adopt this standard to ensure continuity of its payments and financial transactions.
  • Currently, the results of TRE's preliminary discussion with both SWIFT and UN-client commercial banks seem to confirm that UN-client could continue to send the current SWIFT MT messages until November 2025 (end of SWIFT support to the current standards as, at SWIFT level, UN-client is not considered a banking institution).
  • AsUN-client financial counterparts (commercial, central banks, Global custodian etc.) will have to abide mandatorily to the new standards, UN-client as sender and receiver of SWIFT communications will need to have systems in place to exchange the new type of incoming and outgoing messages.
  • UN-client does not run Financial Gateway in the PeopleSoft Finance platform and does not intend to implement it given the time constraints, instead custom code currently used to generate payments from AP, CM and Payroll and receive and process bank statements will be replaced, with the ability to run in parallel.
  • This project will revisit all swift massaging generated and consumed by Peoplesoft.
  • In all, UN-client deals with approximately 12 banks and 90 accounts, and testing will be required by each with the possibility to change the format consumed by and sent from banks in a phased approach.
