PeopleSoft Banks Setup and Processing PeopleBookprovides implementation and processing information for PeopleSoft Banks. 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.
These PeopleBooks complement the Banks Setup and Processing PeopleBook:
PeopleSoft Applications Fundamentals PeopleBook.
PeopleSoft Global Options and Reports PeopleBook.
Several pages in this PeopleBook operate in deferred processing mode. The system does not update or validate most fields on these pages 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 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.
