To specify and update the PeopleSoft General Ledger system and version:
Select the General Ledger and Project Costing indicators on the Installation Table - Products page (INSTALLATION_TBL1).
Click the Update Version button in the General Ledger group box on the Installation Table - Product Specific page (INSTALLATION_TBL1A).
This button triggers a request to the Financials database and updates the GL version automatically.
Note: The default GL version is N/A, which you can update using the Update Version button if you use Financials 8.4 or higher for original ChartFields, or Financials 9.0 for project ChartFields.
If you do not use PeopleSoft General Ledger, do not select the General Ledger check box on the Installation Table - Products page. The system displays N/A as the GL version.
If you select the Project Costing check box on the Installation Table - Products page but are not using PeopleSoft General Ledger, Project Costing ChartFields will be available to you for editing, but no validation with Financials is performed.
If Payroll for North America supports your General Ledger system, follow the system configuration instructions in the related documentation.
