PeopleSoft Application Fundamentals
The PeopleSoft Enterprise Contracts PeopleBook provides you with implementation and processing information for your PeopleSoft Contracts system. However, additional, essential information describing the setup and design of your system resides in companion documentation. The companion documentation consists of important topics that apply to many or all PeopleSoft applications across the Financials, Enterprise Service Automation, and Supply Chain Management product lines. You should be familiar with the contents of these PeopleBooks.
The following companion PeopleBooks apply specifically to PeopleSoft Contracts:
PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications Fundamentals PeopleBook
Setting Up Global Options and Reports PeopleBook
PeopleSoft Enterprise Order to Cash Common Information PeopleBook
Pages with Deferred Processing
Several pages in PeopleSoft Contracts operate in deferred processing mode. Most fields on these pages are not updated or validated until you save the page or refresh it by clicking a button, link, or tab. This delayed processing has various implications for the field values on the page—for example, if a field contains a default value, any value that you enter before the system updates the page overrides the default. Another implication is that the system updates quantity balances or totals only when you save or otherwise refresh the page.
