PeopleSoft Marketing business units enable you to associate campaigns with specific offices for organizational and reporting purposes.

A business unit represents an operational entity—generally a branch office within your organization. Every marketing campaign that you create is associated with a business unit that represents a branch office within your organization.

This organizational structure helps you to locate the campaigns that you need because you can limit searches by business unit. Define a default business unit so that you do not need to specify your home business unit every time that you access the system. Specify a business unit only when you need to access another business unit.

You also filter results in PeopleSoft Marketing by business unit.
