This chapter provides an overview of the Order Management business unit definition and discusses how to set up Order Management business units.
PeopleSoft Order Management does not post entries directly to General Ledger ChartFields except for incurred revenue from claimback claims. Instead, PeopleSoft Inventory manages the account distribution for the shipping transactions that are involved with a sale, and PeopleSoft Billing handles the distribution for invoice transactions. You can elect to invoice by Order Management business unit, in which case invoice transactions are handled through Order Management business unit links to Billing business units. Or, you can choose to invoice from shipment history through Inventory business unit links to Billing business units.
In either case, distribution codes determine the accounts to debit and credit for invoice transactions and the system passes the information to PeopleSoft General Ledger by using PeopleSoft Billing and Receivables. Distribution codes are defined in PeopleSoft Billing or PeopleSoft Receivables and reflect detailed account distribution by ChartField.
Shipping Transactions
The PeopleSoft Inventory business unit always determines the ChartFields for shipping transactions. For inventory items, that is products that are stocked in a warehouse, the cost element for the item, and the distribution type determine ChartField distribution. For nonstock products, or products that are ordered directly from the vendor, the ChartFields are determined by the cost element that you define for the product that is on the Product Definition, Product Definition - Options2 page and by the distribution type that you define for the product that is on the Mark Lines for Billing Process page. Distribution types are optional.
Warning! If you are invoicing by Order Management business unit, the General Ledger business unit that is associated with the Inventory business unit must be the same as the General Ledger business unit that is linked with the Order Management business unit through the Billing business unit which is on the Order Management Definition - Order Management Setup page. If this is not the case, cost of goods sold accounting (generated by the Inventory business unit) is not accurately reflected against revenue.
Invoice Transactions
You invoice transactions by:
Order Management business unit.
Associate a Billing business unit with an Order Management business unit on the Order Management Definition - Order Management Setup page.
Inventory business unit.
Associate a Billing business unit with an Inventory business unit on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Definition page.
Warning! You must always associate a Billing business unit with Order Management business units to perform return material authorization (RMA) processing. If you enter a Billing business unit on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Definition page and the Order Management business unit Order Management Definition - Order Management Setup page, then the Inventory business unit takes precedence for invoice transactions.
Distribution Codes for Invoice Transactions
If you invoice by Order Management business unit, the system determines which distribution codes to pass to PeopleSoft Billing using this order of priority:
Distribution codes for a price adjustment defined in the price rule.
You entered distribution codes manually for order schedules on the Order Schedule - Distribution page or the Revenue Distribution Accounts page for RMAs.
Note. This option is for revenue distribution only.
Distribution codes are established on the Distribution Sets and Rules pages.
The code is determined by the distribution rule from the Order Management business unit for sales orders and RMAs.
You enter default distribution codes on the Order Management business unit Accounting and Billing page for sales orders and RMAs.
If you are invoicing by Inventory business unit, the system determines which distribution codes to pass to PeopleSoft Billing in the same sequence. Instead of using the default distribution codes that are on the Accounting and Billing page for sales orders and the RMA Defaults page for RMAs, however, the system uses the distribution codes that are on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Options: Revenue and Billing Defaults page for the Inventory business unit.
To define Order Management business units, use the Order Management Definition component.
After you map the business structure for your organization, add Order Management business units on the Order Management Definition - Order Management Setup page. The system prompts you to enter a business unit ID. You can navigate through the business unit pages by clicking the appropriate link. After defining the business unit, you can print an Order Management Business Unit Options Report showing the settings and attributes that you selected.

Access the Order Management Setup page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Business Unit Related, Order Management, Order Management Definition, Order Management Setup).
Default SetID |
This field appears in Add mode. The unit determines the preliminary tableset sharing setup by determining the setIDs that are assigned to each record group for the new business unit. The setID that is assigned to a record group determines which tableset is used as values for that specific business unit. |
Create BU (create business unit) |
When you enter a new unit, click this button to establish the setID controls for the Order Management business unit. Note. Create setIDs or business units that are five characters long. A performance degradation occurs if the setIDs or business units have fewer than five characters. Note. You must click the Create BU button before you can select a Location Code and BI Unit (Billing business unit) on this page and enter information on the other business unit pages. |
Location Code |
Enter or select the location of the business unit. |
BI Unit (Billing business unit) |
Select a value to link with an Order Management business. You can create invoices by Order Management business unit or by Inventory business unit. If you also link a Billing business unit with an Inventory business unit, the Inventory business unit takes precedence. Order schedules that have been shipped, including nonstock items, are pulled into the Billing system for creation of invoices. The process of invoicing is governed by rules associated with the Billing business unit that you enter on this page. These rules determine billing frequency, billing method, and so on. Important! If you choose to invoice by Inventory business unit, you must enter a Billing business unit on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Definition page. |
GL Unit, AR Unit, VAT Entity (General Ledger business unit), (Accounts receivables business unit), (Value-added tax entity) |
These fields appear after a BI Unit is selected. Although Order Management may interface with PeopleSoft Billing for invoicing, it does not post to PeopleSoft Receivables or PeopleSoft General Ledger directly. Instead, the PeopleSoft Order Management system is tied to a Receivables and General Ledger business unit based on the Billing business unit that is entered here. The Receivables business unit determines which receivable aging periods are included in the credit checking calculations during order entry. The General Ledger business unit determines the VAT entity. |
Automatic Line Increment
In the Automatic Line Increment group box, enter the number that determines the next line, schedule, and RMA line number. For example, if you want order line numbers to increment by one, enter 1 in the Order Line field.
Note. The demonstration database is delivered with the line increment set to 2.

Purchase History (Months) |
Enter the number of months of purchase history that you want accessible during order entry. This option enables you to view all previous purchases that the customer makes within a time window and to select previously entered order lines for copying. |
Pricing Options
Online |
Select this option to price each schedule and line when the pricing calculator button is selected. Select the Price Protected option on the Line Pricing Data and Schedule Pricing Data pages to prevent the order from being repriced. |
Background |
Select this option to price the order in the background instead of online. The Order Repricing process prices order lines and schedules according to the timetable that is established by using the Process Scheduler. This process also reprices lines and schedules to reflect any quantity changes or price changes that are made after the order is entered. Note. If Background is selected, the system moves the list price to the sales order by default. Price adjustments are not applied until the Order Repricing process runs. |
Allow Adjustments to Buying Agreement Price |
This check box indicates whether the buying agreement price can be adjusted. If selected, only the list price protect flag is turned on, and the buying agreement price will be used as the base for the adjustment calculation. If this check box is not selected, the list price and price protect flags will be turned on, and the price cannot be adjusted. |
Price Adjustment Reason |
Select a default reason code when adjusting the price on the order or quote. This field is useful if you are using margin adjustments and frequently changing prices on the sales order. |
Period-to-Date Pricing
Period-To-Date Price Calendar |
Select a calendar if you are using period-to-date price adjustments. Calendars are established on the Sales Calendar page. After the Order Management business unit is created by clicking the Create BU button, any subsequent saves check to see if PeopleSoft Promotions Management is installed and this field is blank. If these two conditions are met, the system prompts you to use period-to-pricing and have the Calendar Id field appear by default from Promotions Management. If you select Yes, the system retrieves the Calendar ID that is defined by Promotions Management. Calendar IDs are established on the Sales Calendar page in PeopleSoft Promotions Management. If you select No, the field remains blank. |
Commissions Level
Select to determine whether commissions are tracked and, if they are, at which level, the header level or the schedule level. This value is the default for orders and quotes during order entry.

Allow Freight Rate Shopping |
This field is used when integrating with an external third-party freight provider. The field identifies whether the interfacing third-party freight system allows rate shopping. Rate shopping enables a user to choose which freight carrier and charges to use on the delivery based on the choices retrieved from the third-party freight provider. This method displays the Freight Rate Shopping page for users to view, evaluate, and select the best freight carrier for their needs. Rate shopping can be performed from the Order Entry Form in PeopleSoft Order Management and from the Delivery Management Workbench in PeopleSoft Inventory. In addition, freight rate shopping can be performed for a quote. The option are:
For freight rate shopping at order entry time, the Allow Freight Rate Shopping field works with the online Process Freight Charges field on the Order Entry Features page within the Order Management business unit definition.
