Location Table Report - Run Control Page |
PRCSRUNCNTL |
Run the Location Table report (PER705). This report lists each physical location by Location Code. Because you can define locations by effective date, the report program prints all locations (past, present, and future). |
Use the Locations component to establish physical locations in your organization, such as corporate headquarters, branch offices, remote sales offices, and so forth. If you use PeopleSoft Global Payroll, you may want to report certain information by location, so consider this when planning your implementation of this information.
If you use PeopleSoft Pension Administration, you can create one or more locations specifically for pension payees. You can use a single retiree location for all retirees if you don't need to report on your payees based on more specific location information.
Various pages in PeopleSoft Human Resources reference the information that you define in the Locations component. In career planning, for example, you can assign training courses to locations. In recruitment, job openings are associated with locations, either directly or indirectly through the link between a location and a separate recruiting object known as a recruiting location.
Note: (USA) To support AAP reporting, when you select a regulatory region with a country value of USA on the Location Profile page, the system enables you to establish a many to many relationship between locations and establishments. Set up the relationship on the Location Profile page in the USA section of the page. Only establishments that are effective as of the location's effective date are available on the Location Profile page. View the locations associated with an establishment on the Establishment Address page.
Use the Location Address page (LOCATION_TABLE1) to enter physical locations in your organization, such as corporate headquarters, branch offices, and remote sales offices.

Set ID and Plan |
Select a salary administration plan from the values that you created on the Salary Plan component. See Setting Up Salary Plans, Grades, and Steps.

If you don't need to distinguish salary administration plans by location, leave this field blank. Note: Select only the plans that are associated with the set ID that you selected on the Define Salary Plan component. If you select a salary administration plan on this page, the system uses that plan as the default value on the Job Data pages for the people in this location.
