All PeopleSoft products are delivered with your purchased and licensed products. Clear the check boxes for all products that you have not licensed. The check boxes for the products that you have licensed and enabled in your database must be selected.

Note. Unless you clear the unlicensed products, you are likely to encounter performance issues or other processing problems when unnecessary processes or database activity is triggered that is related to the unlicensed products.

For example, unlicensed products for which the check boxes remain selected can cause unnecessary processing due to ChartFields that are specifically related to the unlicensed products. If you have not licensed any of the following three products, Project Costing, Expenses, or Resource Management and you see the following ChartFields: PC Business Unit, Activity, Source Type, Category, or Subcategory on pages, clear the check boxes for these 3 products on the Installation Options - Products page and run ChartField configuration to inactivate the ChartFields because they are specific to the three products.

PeopleSoft Products

All PeopleSoft products are delivered to your database and are automatically selected by the system. Deselect all those you have not licensed.

Note. Applications that you might not have licensed are delivered to your database with the purchase of your PeopleSoft applications and as delivered, all these applications are selected on this page and considered active by the system.

Unless you clear the unlicensed products, you are likely to encounter performance issues or processing problems when unnecessary processes or database activity is triggered that is related to the unlicensed products. For example, unlicensed products will cause unnecessary ChartField configuration activities related to the unlicensed products.

Enable Commitment Control

Click the check box for each PeopleSoft product, or application, for which you want to enable Commitment Control.

You can enable or disable Commitment Control for each of these products at any time, but disabling Commitment Control for an application during a budget period may corrupt the consistency and integrity of your data.

Many applications have dependencies with other applications that require you to maintain integration points between those applications for valid budget checking and notification. Do not enable or disable Commitment Control for an application unless you know precisely what effect your action will have on other applications.

Note. Also, if you have not licensed Project Costing but have licensed Expenses or Resource Management and you still see Source Type, Category, or Subcategory on pages, clear the check boxes for the unlicensed products on the Installation Options - Products page and use ChartField configuration to inactivate these ChartFields because they are specific to Project Costing.

Other areas where you can encounter problems if unlicensed product check boxes are not cleared include on demand processing, and defining Ledgers for A Unit and ledger templates.

Enable or disable Commitment Control processing for listed applications.

Enable in Treasury Settlements

Select to enable financial-sanctions validation in PeopleSoft Enterprise Cash Management. Selecting here will initiate an SDN payee validation search during a settlement process involving transactions from banks for which the Financial Sanctions Validation check box is selected on the Bank Information page.

See Defining Bank Information.

See Understanding the Settlements Payment Process.

Payables/eSettlements

Select an option to enable Financial Sanctions validation of PeopleSoft Enterprise Payables and eSettlements vendors. Options include:

Enabled at Bank: Enables financial sanctions validation of vendors whose banks are specified as requiring financial sanctions validation on the Bank Information component (COUNTERPARTY_DEFN).

Enabled at Installation: Enables financial sanctions validation for all vendors.

No Validation: The system does not perform any financial sanctions validation.

Enable at Business Unit: Enables financial sanctions validation of customers whose business units are specified as requiring financial sanctions screening in the Inventory Definition, Order Management Definition, and Billing Definition components (INV_BUSIN_UNIT, BUS_UNIT_TBL_OM and BUS_UNIT_TBL_BI, respectively.)

Enable at Install: Enables financial sanctions validation for the entire system and all business units.

No Validation: The system does not perform any financial sanctions validation.

Use Enterprise Search Service

Select to access the financial sanctions data stored in the FSCM database.

Verity Score Threshold

Enter a score that the system uses to determine if there is a potential match. The system performs a Verity search on the Verity indexes created on the financial sanctions data. The score returned by the Verity search engine is compared to the score you enter. If the score returned is greater than or equal to the score you enter, it is considered a potential match.

Note. The higher the number you enter, the more accurate the match has to be to the financial sanctions data. The lower the number you enter, the system returns more potential matches. You need to determine what is acceptable for your organization.

Warning! To modify the delivered Verity score threshold amount, you must have a thorough understanding of how the Verity Search engine functions.

Use Third Party Web Service

Select to use a third-party web service to access financial sanctions data.

Message Node Name

Enter the node name for the exchange of XML-formatted, IP messages between PeopleSoft and the third-party web service. You must configure this node to invoke the third-party web service. Also, you must transform the outbound IP request message received by the third-party web service, as well as the inbound IP response message sent from it.

See Understanding the Financial Sanctions Service.

See Defining Integration Broker Settings for Payments.

Note. PeopleSoft provides a web service (SDN Search) that accesses the financial sanctions data stored in the FSCM database. The web service is delivered using either Integration Broker or by using a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) map. Enabling web services is discussed in the Enterprise PeopleTools 8.48 PeopleBook: Integration Broker,“Creating Third-Party Integrations Using WSDL.”

Search Index Name

Enter a name search index and an address search index to use for financial sanctions validation. For the system to identify the most accurate match results, the system searches only the name fields against the name search index and the address fields against the address search index. Both the name and address search index are required. You must first build the search indexes using the Search Index Admin page.

Note. Oracle's PeopleSoft provides both a name and address search index (SDN_SEARCH_NAME and SDN_SEARCH_ADDR) for the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list.

See Enterprise PeopleTools PeopleBook: System and Server Administration, “Building and Maintaining Search Indexes”

See Verity® Command-line Indexers Reference Guide V5.0 for PeopleSoft®

Index Type

Select the index type associated with the search index. Options include:

Address: The system passes the address fields and weighting factors to the address search index. It then compares the results of the Verity search engine and reports it as a possible match if the score is greater than the Verity Score Threshold field.

Name: The system passes the name fields and weighting factors to the name search index. It then compares the results of the Verity search engine and reports it as a possible match if the score is greater than the value in the Verity Score Threshold field.

Language Code

Select a code to which you can assign an alternate character value from the available options. When you select a code for a user (during security setup) and enable for that user the use of alternate characters, the system allows the user to use only the character set assigned to the user's language code for all fields with an associated Alternate Character field.

When you enable alternate characters for a specific user, this button is activated to the right of all the fields in the system with an associated Alternate Character field. Click the Alternate Character button to enter and display the field value in the Alternate Character set. Alternate character sets are linked with language codes and then selected for use by user ID. Only the character set specified on this page for the specific language code of the user ID is allowed in the Alternate Character field.

Document Management

Select if you want to enable the embedded enterprise document management system. Selecting this option activates the Documentum installation options.

Documentum Docbase Name

Displays the name of the document database that contains the documents that you access with pages for a specific PeopleSoft product.

Maximum Documents in Query

Displays the maximum number of documents that the system retrieves when you run document management system queries within the Documentum-enabled product. This is the maximum number of documents that the system returns to the Query Result page, not the maximum number of documents that results from the document management system query itself.

Note. This setting doesn't limit the maximum number of documents that can be associated on a page, just the number that are returned by a single query.

Document Object Type

Displays the document management system object supertype that you want to use when you access documents within the document database. The object type controls the set of valid attributes of the documents within Documentum. This object type must contain all attributes (fields) that you reference from PeopleSoft Engineering document query pages.

General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, Accounts Receivable, Billing

Select one of these options to identify how to use entry events for each product:

• No EE

  Entry events cannot be used with the selected product.

• Optional

  Entry events may or may not be used with the selected product.

• Required

  Entry events must be used with the selected product.

Note. Select Required or Optional for General Ledger on the Installation Options - Entry Event page to enable the Project Costing Budget Entry Event Interface Processor (PC_TO_EE) to generate supplemental accounting entries from Project Costing budget transactions.

Upward/Downward Adjustment

Select to perform upward and downward adjustments using entry events for commitment control budgets that are identified as having expired year funding in Commitment Control.

Default Budget Date

Select a budget date default scheme for your requisitions, purchase orders, and vouchers.

Values include:

Accounting Date Default: Select to default the budget date to the document accounting date.

Predecessor Doc Date Default: Select to copy the budget date from the predecessor document.

Reversal Date Option

Select the date to control reversal (rebudget checking) of documents.

Values are:

Prior Date: With this option the system backs out old entries, using the fiscal year and accounting period as they were originally recorded. For example, a purchase order originally created in period 1 is recorded as an encumbrance entry in period 1. However, if you then change the purchase order in period 2, giving it a new accounting date, the system reverses the purchase out of period 1 and rebooks it to period 2.

Current Date: Using the current date option, entries are backed out and rebooked in period 2 – leaving period 1 unchanged. Period 2 then has the net change to the document.

BP Liquidation Option (budget period liquidation option)

Values are:

Current Document Budget Period: Select to default liquidation to the budget period of the document being processed. For example, a purchase order originally recorded as an encumbrance for budget period 1, results in the liquidation of the encumbrance in the budget period of the expenditure that might have actually occurred in and been assigned to budget period 2.

There is a special scenario when choosing this option. If the ruleset ChartField was changed between the current document and its predecessor and the two ruleset ChartFields belong to different rulesets that have different budget period calendar, the budget period of the liquidation entry does not use that of the current document. Instead, the system uses the ruleset ChartField of the predecessor to get the corresponding budget period calendar, and determines the liquidation budget period based on the calendar and the budget date of the current document.

Prior Document Budget Period: Select to default liquidation to the budget period of the prior document. For example, if a purchase order has a budget period of 1, when the expenditure occurs that liquidates the encumbrance, the liquidation occurs in the budget period assigned to the purchase order that created the original encumbrance, that is budget period 1.

Activate Date and Date Label

Click the check box to make available a user defined information only date field to which you can give a user defined label of up to 15 characters. The field name appears on the funding source (KK_FUND_SOURCE) page but the field is for information only, it has no logical operations associated with it nor is it delivered as a part of fund source inquiry.

Activate Char 1 and Char 1 Label

Click the check box to make available a user defined 30 characters information field and give the field a user defined label of up to 15 characters. Once defined, the field name appears on the funding source (KK_FUND_SOURCE) page but the field is informational only, it has no logic or programmatic operations associated with it nor is it delivered as a part of fund source inquiry.

Activate Char 2 and Char 2 Label

Click the check box to make available a second user defined 30 characters information field and give the field a user defined label of up to 15 characters. The field name then appears on the funding source (KK_FUND_SOURCE) page. The field is for information only, it has no logic or programmatic operations associated with it nor is it delivered as a part of fund source inquiry.

Execute on Server

Select the Process Scheduler server on which to perform on line budget checking. If no server is specified, the system chooses any server available during run-time.

Run Control Prefix

Enter a prefix to distinguish an on-line budget process run control. When you run budget checking for an on-line transaction, the system creates a run control budget checking request for the on-line transaction and runs the budget processor. The system increments the Last Process Instance by 1 and concatenates it with the Run Control Prefix to create the unique run control ID.

Last Process Instance

This is the last process instance used by the system to create an run control ID for the on-line budget checking request. The Last Process Instance value is maintained by the system and you do not need to change it.

Maximum Wait Time (Minutes)

This is the maximum time in minutes that a user waits for an on-line budget checking request to complete. While waiting for the process to complete, the on-line transaction page is frozen. After the process is complete, the page is refreshed to show the budget checking status (that is whether the transaction passed or failed budget checking). However, if the Maximum Wait Time has elapsed but the budget processor has not yet completed, the budget processor continues the processing but the page is no longer frozen. The user does not need to wait any longer but the page is not refreshed to show the budget checking status. Use the Process Monitor to check the budget processor running status and refresh the on-line transaction page manually. This refreshes the budget checking status after the budget processor has completed.

Pop Up Error/Warning Message

Select this option to have the system pop-up a message box after the on-line budget checking process is complete if the transaction encounters any budget checking error or warning.

Current FY PDP for Reglr Asset (Current Fiscal Year Prior Depreciation Period for Regular Asset)

Select this option when adding assets with the Calculation Type of Remaining Value and asset In Service date is earlier than transaction date. If adding assets within the same fiscal year, the system will calculate prior depreciation period (PDP) based on the In Service date as long as this option is selected. It is selected by default.

For example, if your fiscal year is 01/01/05 to 12/31/05, asset in service date is 03/01/05, transaction date is 05/01/05, accounting date is 05/01/05, calculation type is Remaining Value, and convention is Following Month, the system will calculate PDP from 04/01/05.

Current FY PDP for Grp Asset (Current Fiscal Year Prior Depreciation Period for Group Asset)

Select this option when adding assets with the Calculation Type of Remaining Value and asset In Service date is earlier than transaction date. If adding assets within the same fiscal year, the system will calculate prior depreciation period (PDP) based on the In Service date as long as this option is selected. It is selected by default.

For example, if your fiscal year is 01/01/05 to 12/31/05, asset in service date is 03/01/05, transaction date is 05/01/05, accounting date is 05/01/05, calculation type is Remaining Value, and convention is Following Month, the system will calculate PDP from 04/01/05.

This option displays financial information (asset cost, net book value and fair market value) that provides financial managers with immediate visibility of the financial impact of IT assets for proper disclosure in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Default ITAM Currency

Set the currency code to the base currency for Financial Impact values. This option is visible only when the Financial Impact check box is selected. The values for Financial Impact for Manage Exceptions and Assets not Reporting will be stored in the currency that is specified here. When the actual values are displayed, they will be converted to the currency that is specified within individual user preferences.

Rate Type

Set the rate type for Financial Impact values. This option is visible only when the Financial Impact check box is selected. The values for Financial Impact for Manage Exceptions and Assets not Reporting will be stored as specified here. When the actual values are displayed, they will be converted to the rate type that is specified within individual user preferences.

System

When selected in either the Auto Numbering Params or Bill Entry Page Series group box, the field adjacent to the System field is available for entry. For autonumbering parameters, select a valid predefined invoice ID. You define valid invoice IDs on the Invoice Number page. All billing activity uses this same invoice number-sequencing scheme. For Bill Entry Page Series, select a valid predefined page series ID to ensure that all billing activity uses the same page series definition. You define page series IDs on the Bill Entry Page Series page.

Business Unit, Bill Type, and Bill Source

To specify a default invoice number or page series ID at a level other than system-wide, you are required to define the default value for the level desired on a different page. For example, to define page series navigation at the business unit level, select Business Unit. Selecting this option activates the Page Series ID field on the Billing Definition - Business Unit 1 page, and requires you to return to the Business Unit 1 page to specify the Bus Unit Level (business unit level) default page series ID.

Business Unit

User Defined Criteria (for invoice number IDs only)

Invoice Number page

Temp Bill Invoice Num ID (temporary bill invoice number identification)

Assigns each temporary bill to a temporary bill invoice number identification. Define your temporary bill invoice number identification on the Invoice Number page.

Default Page Series ID

If you define your Bill Entry Page Series options at a business-unit, bill-type, or bill-source level, the system uses this default ID if a page series ID is undefined for any business unit, bill type, or bill source.

Bill Entry Max Rows and Max Number of Rows in Scrolls

Define the default number of maximum rows to limit the number of rows that appear within the scroll area at one time in bill entry or express bill entry, and define the maximum number of rows that appear in scroll areas in bill search or bill line search.

If you define search parameters that normally fetch 200 rows of billing data, for example, but you set the maximum number of rows to 40, you see 40 rows per chunk of the scroll. You can view the rest of the fetched data, 40 rows at a time, using the chunking arrows. You can also change the maximum number of rows displayed directly in bill entry, express bill entry, bill search, and bill line search.

Euro Currency

The currency control code used for euro currency amounts throughout the Billing tables. Displays EUR by default, which is the euro currency code that the PeopleSoft system delivers in the Currency Code table. If you aren't using the International Standards Organization (ISO) currency codes, change this default value to the euro currency code that you're using.

Last BI Interface ID (last billing interface identifier)

Stores the last interface ID used by external sources that pass billing transactions into the Bill Interface structure. External sources that use this ID are responsible for updating and maintaining its value every time they use a number from this field.

Enable Manual Line Numbering

Enables manual invoice line numbering. The Billing invoice line numbering feature enables you to enter invoice line numbers during online bill entry. You can control invoice line numbers when you insert bill lines into a new or existing bill, delete existing bill lines, or update invoice line numbers for existing bill lines. Manual invoice line numbering only applies to bill lines entered online. It does not apply to bill lines imported through the Billing Interface.

Selecting this option activates a Manual Line Numbering flag on the Header - Info 2 page. Manual line numbering functions only if you enable the feature here and set the Manual Line Numbering flag on the bill header to ON.

Note. Manual invoice line numbering bypasses the Billing chunking feature. When you select this option, the system disables the chunking buttons and sets the value of Bill Entry Max Rows on the Bill Entry Bill Line pages to 99999. In this scenario, when you access a bill, the entire set of rows appears.

Bill Entry Hyperlink Option

Determines whether links on the Bill Search pages navigate you to Standard Bill Entry, which is the default value, or Express Bill Entry.

Default # of Lines to Add

The system populates the Lines to Add field on the Bill Entry Express - Line List page with this value.

Enable Performance Loop

Select to instruct the Finalization process to sequentially loop through business units when processing bills.

This option improves processing performance by looping through business units instead of processing transactions in a random order.

This option applies to the Finalization process for non-consolidated bills only. Consolidated bills can comprise of bills from multiple business units, thus eliminating the ability for the Finalization process to perform this task on consolidated bills.

GL Options

Define the level of detail that you pass to the system that generates your general ledger accounting entries.

If you select Business Unit or Bill Type, the GL Options page appears, where you can define the GL level options that default to all existing business units or bill types, respectively.

Note. In deferred mode, when you select Business Unit or Bill Type, the GL Options page appears after you click the save or refresh buttons.

GL Level

(Required) Define how the system passes accounting entries to your general ledger system.

If you select System in the GL Options group box, the GL Level field on this page becomes available for entry. Select one of the following values:

AR Creates GL Acct (accounting) Entries: Receivables creates accounting entries and passes them to your general ledger system. Select this value to indicate that Billing will not track accounting information, and to disable any validation requirements for values defined for each revenue line of a bill when you change the status to RDY.

BI Creates GL Acct Entries: Billing creates accounting entries and passes them to your general ledger system.

No GL Accounting Entries: You pass no accounting entries to your general ledger system.

Enable Deferred Revenues

Enables calculation and creation of accounting entries to be posted to your general ledger for future accounting periods. Use this to process bills that contain revenues to be realized in a future accounting period. This option is available for entry only if you selected BI Creates GL Acct Entries in the GL Level field.

Before you can generate deferred accounting entries, you must select this check box and define the future period accounting dates parameter at the same level that you set the GL options. For example, if you defined the GL options at the business unit level, select Enable Deferred Revenues and define the future period accounting dates parameter on the GL Options page to display by default all business units. On the Billing Definition - Business Unit 2 page, you can select values different from the defaults selected on the GL Options page. If you defined the GL options at the bill-type level, select Enable Deferred Revenues and define the future period accounting dates parameter on the GL Options page to display by default all bill types. On the Bill Type 2 page, you can select values different from the defaults selected on the GL options page.

Future Period Accounting Dates

Determines the accounting date that the system uses when you create future-dated accounting entries, and is available only when you select the Enable Deferred Revenues check box. Select First Day in Accounting Period to post deferred revenues to the proper realized income account on the first day of the realized accounting period; select Last Day in Accounting Period to post on the last day of the realized accounting period.

Proration Method

The calculation method used to divide and distribute deferred revenue across accounting periods. Click the Detail button to access the following valid proration method values:

(1) By Days Within Range: The system divides the number of revenue days in the period by the number of days in range.

(2) Evenly Using All Pds (periods): The system divides the total invoice line amount by the number of periods in the range. Revenue is recognized in equal portions for each accounting period, regardless of the number of days in each period.

(3) Evenly Using Mid-Period Rule: The system divides the total invoice line amount by the number of recognizable periods in the range. The number of recognizable periods is derived from applying rules to start/end days and mid-period day to determine whether the first and the last periods are recognizable or excluded entirely from the calculations.

(4) Evenly/Partial by Days: The system divides the total invoice line amount by the number of recognizable periods in the range. The number of recognizable periods is derived from applying rules to start/end days and mid-period day to determine whether the first and the last periods are recognizable or excluded entirely from the calculations.

(5) User Defined Proration Method: Available if you want to create your own proration method.

Mid-Period # of Days

Enter the day in an accounting period that determines whether the accounting period is either fully recognizable or not recognizable at all. You can specify the mid-period day here, or allow the system to assign the date. The system defines the mid-period day by dividing the number of days in the accounting period by two and rounding to the nearest whole number. This field is available only when you select the proration method Evenly Using Mid-period Rule.

Edit Chart of Acct Combination

Select to enable the Online ChartField Combination Editing process for bill entry, which prevents you from passing invalid ChartField combinations to your general ledger.

AR Options

Define the level of detail to pass to your accounts receivable system.

If you select in this group box Business Unit or Bill Type, the Default AR Level page appears, where you can define the AR Level and AR distribution option that displays by default all existing business units or bill types, respectively.

Note. In deferred mode, when you select Business Unit or Bill Type, the Default AR Level page appears after you click the save or refresh buttons.

AR Level

Define the level at which Billing passes open items to your receivables system. This field is available for entry only when you select System in the AR Options group box. Select from the following values:

Bill Line is AR Open Item: Billing passes each bill line as an open item in the receivables system.

Header is AR Open Item: Billing passes each bill as an open item in the receivables system.

No AR Open Items: Billing passes no open items to the receivables system.

AR Option

Define the level of detail for passing AR account distribution to your accounts receivable system. This field is available for entry only when you select System in the AR Options group box. Select from the following values:

Use Header for Distribution: Send an AR account with each invoice/open item. Use this AR option only in conjunction with the AR level Header is AR Open Item or No AR Open Items.

Use Line for Distribution: Send an AR account for each line of the invoice. This is the only option available if you select the AR level Bill Line is AR Open Item.

Accounting Display Template

Bill entry accounting templates enable you to define a selection of ChartFields that you want to work with while in the bill entry pages. If there are ChartFields that remain a constant value when you enter accounting information for your invoices, you may configure a template to exclude this ChartField. Defining an accounting template minimizes keystrokes in data entry, and keeps your page free of redundant information. Define accounting templates on the Bill Entry - Acctg Template page.

You can define your bill entry accounting template at the system, business-unit, bill-type, or bill-source level. If you select System, the Template field option becomes available for entry, where you can select a valid predefined bill entry accounting template ID to ensure that all billing activity uses the same bill entry accounting template.

If you define a bill entry accounting template at the business unit, bill type, or bill source level, enter a default template ID.

Note. In deferred mode, the template ID fields appear when you click the save or refresh buttons.

Currency Conversion Date

Select the date for the system to use for currency conversion by the Contracts billing process. Values include: Accounting Date and Transaction Date. This field is also used for as-incurred revenue processing (PSA_ACCTGGL) for currency conversion.

Reduce by Retainage First and Apply Retainage Upon Release

If you select Reduce by Retainage First and do not select Apply Retainage Upon Release, the system applies the reduced transaction to the limit and never applies the retainage to the limit.

If you select both Reduce by Retainage First and Apply Retainage Upon Release, the system backs the retainage out of the transaction; upon your releasing the retainage on the billing plan, the system applies the retainage to the limit.

Warning! Do not select Apply Retainage Upon Release without also selecting Reduce by Retainage First. Doing this would result in a double application of the retainage against the limit. (Using our example above, the system would apply 5,000.00 USD against the limit when the transaction is first processed, and then 500.00 USD more against the limit when the retainage is released, resulting in a double application of 500.00 USD on a 5,000.00 USD transaction.)

Split to Match Limit Exactly

Select to enable OLT splits for contract lines with limits. When you select this option, the system splits a OLT row into one BIL line and one OLT line. This allows you to reach the limit amount exactly with the BIL line and the system places the remaining amount onto an OLT line.

Note. With retainages, the Contracts Billing interface optionally checks for limits when retainages are released. If the row is over the limit, it is returned to Project Costing as OLT rather than RRT. With OLT splits, the RRT is split into an RRT and an OLT.

For contracts with a classification of Government, when the Limits process evaluates revenue transactions against revenue limits, the resulting revenue (REV) rows are either passed to the general ledger, or marked as revenue over the limit (ROL) and passed to Project Costing. Select the Split to Match Limits Exactly check box to enable the system to split a REV (revenue) row into one REV line and one ROL (revenue over-the-limit) line when a revenue transaction breeches the limit defined for the contract line. This enables you to reach the limit amount exactly with the REV line, while passing the remaining transaction amount onto a ROL line.

Note. Creating separate revenue transaction rows and applying them to a separate revenue limit is only applicable to government contracts containing rate-based contract lines associated with a fee type (cost-plus), where the Separate Billing and Revenue checkbox is selected.

Pay/Bill Management Installed

Select if you have the Pay/Bill Management application installed on your system.

Defer Line Attributes to Batch

Select to defer processing from real time to batch. When you save contract lines to a contract, the system creates accounting distributions, and optionally, billing and revenue plans. In high volume cases, deferring processing of these attributes from real time to batch may speed up contract data entry. However, if you choose this selection, the contract attributes are not immediately available.

Federal Reimbursable Agreement

Select to enable reimbursable agreement functionality. By selecting this option, the Federal Reimbursable Agreement value appears in the drop down list for the contract classification field when adding a new contract. While the value in the contract classification field defaults to Standard, you can select to specify the contract as a reimbursable agreement. Reimbursable agreements are subject to additional edits as described in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Contracts 9.0 PeopleBook.

Apportionment Amount Restricted

Controls whether the amount field on the Contract General page is open and editable upon adding a contract or unavailable for entry. If you select this check box, the amount field on the Contract General page is unavailable for entry and the system populates the amount field.

This field appears on the page only if you select the Federal Reimbursable Agreement check box.

Separate Billing and Revenue

Select to define and apply different rates for billing and revenue calculations for rate-based contract lines associated with a fee type (cost-plus). This option is only applicable to contracts with a contract classification of Government.

Calendar SetID

Select a setID for your calendars.

Detail Calendar

Select a calendar with the lowest level of time periods for which you want to sum and display forecasted revenue.

Select an accounting definition setID for the Journal Generator. The system uses the value in this field for streamlined revenue processing.

Acctg Definition Fix Fee (accounting definition fix fee)

Select an accounting definition for fixed fee contract lines. The system uses the value in this field for streamlined revenue processing.

Acctg Definition Projects (accounting definition projects)

Select an accounting definition for rate-based contract lines. The system uses the value in this field for streamlined revenue processing.

Acctg Definition TBP (accounting definition Transaction Billing Processor)

Select an accounting definition for contract lines coming from the Transaction Billing Processor. The system uses the value in this field for streamlined revenue processing.

Credit Card Merchant ID

Supplied by the third-party credit card authorization and payment application.

Credit Card Hist. Backup Days (credit card history backup days)

It is recommended that you enter a value of 0 (zero). Currently, the value doesn't affect retention of credit card authorization history. You'll use it to specify the number of days that you retain credit card authorization history records.

Credit Card Tracing

The method to track the parameters for each credit card included in a transmission. Options are:

Connect with Trace: Connect to the third-party credit card authorization and payment application and write a trace file, crcard.txt, to your C:\Temp directory. This file contains a list of the parameters passed for each credit card transaction. If the file already exists, new transactions are added to the end of the file, thereby providing a running log.

No Connect with Trace: Create a trace file only. Do not attempt to connect to the third-party credit card authorization and payment application. Use this option to test or troubleshoot your credit card transaction data. The parameters that would have been sent are still written to the log file, but no transmission attempt is made.

Production: Send data directly to the third-party credit card authorization and payment application without creating a trace file. This is the most efficient method of transmitting your data; however, you have no record of the passed parameters if you need to review the data.

Vendor Trace: Invoke a troubleshooting utility provided by the third-party credit card authorization and payment application to aid in diagnosing connection problems. See your third-party credit card authorization and payment application documentation for more information on the troubleshooting file, ICSAPILOG.TXT, created by this utility.

Address Verification Flag

Credit card transmissions can potentially fail authorization if the address you send doesn't exactly match the billing address for the credit card.

Add Ver ON (address verification on): Select if you want the transaction to fail if the address you send does not match the credit card billing address. This is the default option.

Add Vr OFF (address verification off): Select if you don't want transactions to fail if the address you send does not match the billing address on the credit card.

On-line Transmission Retrys

Enter a value between 0 and 9 to specify how many times you want the system to automatically attempt to repeat transmissions to your third-party credit card authorization and payment application in the event of transmission failure.

Business Unit

Select the value for the Manufacturing business unit that will receive changes from the product lifecycle management (PLM) system.

Note. The PeopleSoft system presumes a single site, so you are defining it here for the PeopleSoft system.

Standard Unit of Measure

Define a value for all inbound items being added. This is useful if all inbound items will share the same UOM from the PLM system (such as EA).

Note. Alternatively, you can maintain a user-defined field in the PLM system for the appropriate Item and map this field from the additional attributes value within the PDX XML to the PeopleSoft Field Item Unit of Measure value in the User Defined Field Mappings group box on this page.

Important! The PLM field name value must match the field that has been defined in the XML.

Item Status Mappings

Define the item lifecycle status mapping for items with a status of:

• Active

• Discontinue

• Hold

This value is used when change orders are released to the PeopleSoft system. The PeopleSoft item status (SetID and business unit) is based on the affected item lifecycle value for each item on a change order within the PDX XML. Therefore, any valid lifecycle status that can be included on a change order sent to the PeopleSoft system must be mapped in this group box.

The LifeCycle Phase field on this page can contain commas to define a one-to-many mapping between the PeopleSoft system and the PLM system. For example, the screen shot shows how the lifecycle status of Production and Preliminary are to be considered an Active item status for the PeopleSoft system item status.

Note. When a new item with an Active status is added from the PLM system with an effective date greater than today's date, the PLM system effective date of the affected item is ignored in the PeopleSoft system and the current date (today) is used at the item level (SetID and business unit). This allows revisions and manufacturing BOMs to be created for the item in the PeopleSoft system.

However, future PLM system effective dates are used for the start date of the item or revision, and also for future effective dates associated with a Future item status. For example, if an item is currently active in the PeopleSoft system, you can send a PLM system change order to specify future obsolescence of the item by having a PLM system affected item with a future date and a future status intended to obsolete the item. In this case, the current PeopleSoft system status will remain Active and a future status will be specified as Discontinue.

Turn on Filtered Sync.

Select to not synchronize control data from Expenses to mobile devices if the data has already been downloaded. If not selected, Expenses always refreshes all control data to Mobile Time and Expense, even if no changes occurred on the Expenses side. For example, if you have downloaded all expense types to the mobile device and there are no changes on the Expenses side (no additions, deletions, or updates), then the filtered synchronization functionality skips downloading expense types again if the Turn on Filtered Sync. check box is selected.

Posting Method

Select from the following values:

Period End Date: The time report end date determines the accounting period to which the system charges time in Project Costing. This setting is particularly important when the reporting period spans the end of one accounting period and the beginning another accounting period. For example, assume that you use monthly accounting periods and enter weekly time reports. If a month ends in the middle of a week, and therefore the reporting period spans the end and beginning of two accounting periods, the time is charged in Project Costing to the accounting period for which the reporting period ended—the latter of the two accounting periods.

Enable Auto Escalation (enable automatic escalation)

Select to establish a new action plan for a collection (COLL) condition when a customer that already has a collection action plan violates a collection rule with a higher priority.

Allow Business Unit Monitoring

Select if you want to monitor the collection (COLL), entry type/reason code (ETRC), key statistics exceeded (KSTE), and large amount coming due (LACD) conditions by business unit. The Condition Monitor treats each business unit and collection customer combination as a separate customer.

Business unit monitoring also affects the assignment of the action owner for these conditions. The Condition Monitor groups all open items for the business unit and collection customer combination together. If all these transactions have the same value in the action owner field, it uses that value for the assigned action owner. Otherwise, it assigns the owner based on the collection customer.

Here is an example:

Customer FRA01 has transactions in business unit FRA02 and FRA05. You assigned collector DKB to this customer. All of the transactions for this customer in the FRA02 business unit are assigned to collector JKB. All of the transactions in the FRA05 business unit are assigned to collector MLM. If the customer violates the collection criteria in both business units, the Condition Monitor creates two action plans: one for FRA02/FRA01 that it assigns to collector JKB and one for FRA05/FRA01 that it assigns to collector MLM. However, if some of the transactions in the FRA02 business unit are assigned to collector JKB and some are assigned to collector CCC, then the action plan for FRA02/FRA01 will be assigned to the collector for the customer, which is DKB.

Default Assigned Owner

Select the user ID for the individual in your organization who you want to be the action owner for action list items when the assigned action owner does not have a user ID. You must designate a default owner before you can define conditions for the Condition Monitor process.

Automatically create Agent profiles for Event Creators with these defaults

Entering information here enables event creator to chat with bidders using the MultiChannel Framework chat capabilities.

If selected, the system automatically creates users as MCF agents upon posting their first sourcing event. Bidders can then request to chat with the event creator from the bid response pages.

Note. Any defaults set here can be overridden for a selected agent on the MCF Agent setup page (MCF_AGENT_PG) in PeopleTools.

Logical Queue

Complete the MultiChannel Framework default only if you have selected the Automatically create Agent profiles for Event Creators with these defaults check box.

A logical queue is an application-level queue that receives work requests (tasks) relating to an application area, such as chat requests regarding sales information, and routes them to agents capable of handling the work. For example, you might configure a logical queue called SOURCING for bidder issues.

Physical Queue

The system randomly selects this queue so that the tasks in a logical queue are distributed by the framework among all available physical queues for scalability. For example, the SOURCING queue could be serviced by two MCF clusters across two physical queues: SOURCING1 and SOURCING2.

Skill Level

Specify the minimum agent skill required to handle this task.

The queue server assigns this task type to an available agent with the lowest skill level on that queue greater than or equal to the skill level required by the task.

The minimum value is 0, and there is no maximum value.

The value specified here can be overridden in the EnQueue() or InitChat() built-in function call.

Maximum Workload

Select the maximum load that this agent can be assigned before tasks are held or assigned to other agents. This is a required field.

The cost of each accepted task is added to the agent's current workload. A task is not assigned to an agent if its cost pushes the agent's current workload over the maximum.

Response ID

Use to create default chat templates for each agent's profile. Chat templates are used to send responses to bidders. Values include: Abandon, Accept, Deny, End, Forward, and Other. For each response ID, you can add a response name, response description, and response text.

Presence State

Use to define one or more default presence states for each agent's profile. Options include: Available and Unavailable. Add a presence description that appears when checking to see if an agent is available.

Application Server Path

Enter the default navigational path to the server on which you create temporary server-side files. Use this application server directory, for example, when generating authored documents. The system generates the temporary document on the application server prior to transferring it to the FTP server. You might want to select a directory such as c:\temp, which exists on Windows NT application servers.

Enable Compare Functionality

Select to enable the document administrator to run a server-side comparison of the current contract against a regenerated version or refreshed version of the contract. The comparison displays the differences and is for information purposes only.

Enable Rendering .doc

Select to enable the generation of a document during the dispatch process. You select this check box in case a supplier does not use Microsoft Word 2003 and cannot read .XML version of the file.

Compare/Render Server/Path

Enter a path name for the default Windows NT server that will serve as a temporary location for document processing for server-side comparisons and document rendering of .XML. An example of a temporary location might be c:\temp.

Compare/Render Server URL(compare/render server uniform resource locator)

Enter a default Windows NT server URL and a port number that define the location of the port where documents are processed on the Windows NT server. You must also have Microsoft Word 2003 installed on the Windows NT server for this function to work properly.

Chunk Size

Enter the number of returned rows that you want to retrieve and display when you perform a Verity search. If you do not enter a value, the system retrieves 20 rows at a time.

Allow Contract Syndication

Select to indicate that you want to include syndication as part of the contract process. When you select this check box, the system includes the Syndication tab on the Contract Entry page.

If you use contract syndication and the Allow Contract Syndication check box is cleared later, the syndication features appear only for contracts that have already been syndicated. For contracts that have not been syndicated, the system hides the syndication features.

Subscriber Node

Select a default node to which contracts can be syndicated. The system cannot syndicate a contract until you define a subscriber node. This subscriber node is supplied as a default value on the supplier contract if Allow Contract Syndication has been selected.

If a node is not defined at the header level, the system generates a message during processing. If you run syndication as a batch process, only those contracts that have nodes defined can be selected for processing.

Syndicate Contract Defaults

Select to include purchase order defaults as part of the syndicated contracts. The defaults include header and shipping information, and you click the PO Defaults link on the Contract page to view them.

Syndicate Miscellaneous Charge

Select to include miscellaneous charges in the syndicated contract. You can add miscellaneous charges to purchase orders in addition to sales and use taxes and value-added taxes.

Syndicate Milestones

Select to include milestone information in syndicated contracts. Milestones are points in a contract cycle, such as a specified period of time or a percentage of contract fulfillment, at which an approval or reevaluation is made by contract participants. Often, partial compensation is linked to a milestone. Supplier Contract Management verifies the release of milestone lines for merchandise amount changes.

Syndicate Shipping Schedules

Select to include syndicated shipping schedules in syndicated contract information. The system verifies that the line quantity on the shipping template is greater than the minimum line quantity.

Syndicate Distributions

Select to include syndicated distributions in syndicated contract information. During syndication, the system processes distribution percentages and amounts and verifies that the distribution amount does not exceed the contract line amount.

Protect Bind Values in Document

When you protect bind values, and the system generates authored documents, Microsoft Word 2003 places a protection tag around each transactional or wizard bind value in the document. This can be useful if you do not want bind values to be readily changed within an authored document, but want them primarily controlled by wizard or transactional changes within the PeopleSoft system. When Microsoft Word protection is in place, bind values cannot be easily changed. Controls for overriding protection exist within Microsoft Word.

Use Track Changes in Word

Select to make Track Changes the default option when the system generates documents. If you do not select this check box, users can manually set the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word.

Log at Document Generation

Select the default method by which you want the system to log errors when it generates a contract document. The system provides the value as a default value to document configurators when you first create them. Two levels of logging are available. Select Details to indicate that the system should log full error details during the document generation process. Full logging can slow the generation process, but is useful for debugging and testing wizard paths when you create new configurators. Full logging also validates bind variables that the system uses within a configurator and validates the expansion of a configurator by checking rules that are evaluated during document generation.

Select Log Warnings and Wizard to log only warnings, such as missing bind values and the summary wizard history for a given document generation. You should use this setting after a configurator is made available for general use.

Clause Approval

Select to indicate that approvals are required for clauses. When you select this check box, the system enables workflow approvals for clauses. If you do not select this check box, the person maintaining the clause can set the clause status to approved.

Document Approval

Select to indicate that approvals are required for documents. If you select this check box, the system requires the document administrator to submit documents for approval. If you do not select this check box, the document administrator can click the Approve button to approve the document for final dispatch to supplier for signature.

Document Reapproval After Edit

Select to indicate that if a document is edited after being approved, it must then be reapproved. Depending on organization internal controls for contract documents, this may or may not be required.

Collaboration Notifications

Select the method that the system should use to notify collaborators when they are listed as collaborators in the document collaboration process. Valid Values are:

Email: Select to use an email notice to alert collaborators that a collaboration is waiting for them.

Email and Worklist: Select to notify collaborators using both notification methods.

None: Select to indicate that a notification is not required.

User Preference: Select to use a combination of generic templates, which include user roles and PeopleCode application classes, to notify collaborators for clause and document approvals.

Worklist: Select to use an automated to-do list that routes work items. From the worklist, collaborators can directly access the pages that they need in order to perform the next action for a document, and then return to the worklist for another item.

Collaboration Routing Template

Select the generic template that the system should use in routing documents for collaboration. This template controls the format of information for email notifications when the system routes a document for collaboration.

Predefined values are:

CS_ClsRteApproval: Route for Approval

CS_ClsRteReview: Route for Review

CS_ClsApprove: On Final Approve

CS_ClsDeny: On Final Deny

CS_ClsTimeout: On Timeout

Collaboration Done Template

Select the template that the system should use when collaboration has been completed for a document. The template controls the information that appears in the email to the administrator when collaboration is completed.

DBID (Database Identifier)

Enter the EnterpriseOne database from which the data is imported.

Password

Enter the password required for logging in the EnterpriseOne database specified in the DBID field.

Server

Enter the EnterpriseOne Integration Server.

Password Prompt on Dispatch

Check enable a security measure that requires the user to reenter their password when dispatching payments from the Dispatch Payments page.

Online Dispatch Server Name

Enter the name of the server to run the Dispatch Payment Application Engine process (PMT_DISPATCH). By doing so, Process Scheduler will only run the Dispatch Payment Application Engine process on the server selected rather than the next available server. This option is available to accommodate the transmission of security-sensitive, payment files.

Import Max Payments per Message

Enter the number of payments allowed in a PAYMENT_REQUEST application message passed from source systems, such as Payables, to Financial Gateway. Increasing the number of payments per message requires less messages to be sent, but requires more memory to process—a system limitation that can affect performance. The default value is 1,500 payments per message.
