Payables Definition - Definition page

To create a new PeopleSoft Payables business unit:

  1. On the Add Search page in the Payables Definition component, enter the business unit ID for the PeopleSoft Payables business unit that you want to create, and click Add.

    Note: Use business unit IDs that are five characters long to optimize system performance.

  2. Enter a description and short description of the business unit and specify a default SetID.

    The SetID can be the value of another existing business unit whose SetID you want to copy for the business unit that you are adding. Alternatively, by entering the ID of the new business unit that you are creating, you can also establish a new empty SetID having the same name as the business unit.

    See TableSets.

    Note: Most other fields on the page are unavailable and must be completed after you have finished creating the business unit.

  3. Click Create BU to create the PeopleSoft Payables business unit and, if applicable, the new SetID.

    The system automatically creates the business unit. If you have completed the general ledger business unit setup, the procurement controls, and other relevant control table data, you can continue to complete the business unit definition.

Use the Business Unit ID Numbers page (BU_ID_NBRS_AP_SEC) to specify ID numbers to associate with the business unit.

Click the ID Numbers link on the Payables Definition - Definition page.

Enter the general ledger business unit information on the Payables Definition - Definition page.

Accounting Information

Field or Control

Description

GL Business Unit (general ledger business unit)

Select the general ledger business unit to which you want to assign the PeopleSoft Payables business unit.

Each line of distribution that you enter for a voucher can be charged to this general ledger business unit—the charge to business unit. The charge to business unit automatically appears as the general ledger business unit associated with the PeopleSoft Payables business unit that owns the voucher. You can charge vouchers to general ledger business units other than the default of the vouching business unit for a given distribution line.

When the charge to general ledger business unit differs from the general ledger business unit of the vouching business unit, PeopleSoft Payables automatically creates interunit payables and receivables entries to reflect the business transaction. ChartField values on the distribution line that you enter are validated against the ChartField tables valid for the charge to general ledger business unit.

For payment accounting, each bank account has a cash and cash clearing account associated with it. These accounts are tied to a particular general ledger business unit. The system enables you to pay vouchers of multiple PeopleSoft Payables business units from one bank account. If you do this, the system creates interunit payables and receivables automatically based on the payment interunit account on the general ledger business unit.

Accounting Entry Template

Select the template to associate with the PeopleSoft Payables business unit. The accounting entry template identifies the offset accounts that the system uses to balance payables transactions. It also identifies the accounts that the system uses to allocate nonmerchandise charges. You set it up on the Accounting Entry Template page. Other ChartField values can be inherited from the accounting entry template depending on the ChartField inheritance setup.

Ship To

Enter the default ship to location. The ship to location determines how the sales and use tax appear by default on the voucher in a sales and use tax environment, and how the VAT appears by default on the voucher in a VAT environment. You define ship to locations in the Ship To Locations component.

You can override this default at lower levels in the PeopleSoft Payables control hierarchy.

Update Open Periods

Click to access the Open Periods Update page, where you can specify open and closed periods for this business unit that differ from that of the general ledger business unit.

See Open Period Update Page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Open Period Update page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Open Period Update page

The normal default open period dates for each PeopleSoft Payables business unit are the same as the dates for the general ledger business unit with which it is associated. Use this page when you want an accounting period in PeopleSoft Payables to open or close at a different time from that of an accounting period in PeopleSoft General Ledger.

Field or Control

Description

From Year and To Year

Define the open period dates by entering a fiscal year (or fiscal year calendar ID number) in the From and To fields.

From Period and To Period

Define the open periods by entering an accounting period in both the From Period and To Period fields.

Begin Lag and End Lag

Enter the lag days for the beginning and end of the open periods. Lag days must be entered as a negative number.

To understand how PeopleSoft Payables calculates lag days, assume that period 2 begins February 1, 2006, and you enter −3 in the Begin Lag field. The system calculates the first open date to be January 29, 2006. If you were to define your lag days in this way, a voucher entered into the system on January 29, 2006 would get a default accounting date of February 1, 2006 instead of January 29, 2006. If you really want it to be January 29, you can override the default at entry time. The accounting date on the voucher is the accounting date the Voucher Posting Application Engine process (AP_PSTVCHR) and the Journal Generator Application Engine process (FS_JGEN) will use to calculate the accounting period. The system uses the end lag days to close the open period prior to the actual end of the period. Use lag days to close the accounts payable month to transactions before you close the general ledger month. Lag days only apply to the first and last open accounting periods.

Important! Lag days functionality only applies when you use a voucher's current date as the accounting date. If you override the current date on a voucher, lag days functionality is disabled for that transaction. Likewise, if you select a specific accounting date at any of the following PeopleSoft Payables hierarchy levels—business unit (Payables Options), voucher origin, or control group—and that specific date prepopulates the voucher, lag days functionality is disabled for that voucher.

First Open and Last Open

The system calculates these dates based on the beginning and end of the open periods and the lag days. The system uses these dates to determine the first and last valid dates for transactions for the period.

The first open date is based on the beginning date for the from year and from period, plus lag days. For example, suppose that the period starts April 1 and you specify –3 as the Begin Lag value, the system calculates the first open date of the period to be March 29. The last open date is calculated similarly.

You can override the first open and last open dates. Changing the date does not change the lag days. This enables you to override the calculated period start date for one time only. When the next mass update occurs, the first open date is calculated as defined.

Warning! The system issues a warning message if you select a closing date for the PeopleSoft Payables business unit that is later than the closing date for the general ledger business unit. If you do select a closing date for the PeopleSoft Payables business unit that is later than the closing date for the general ledger business unit, any transactions entered after the general ledger business unit closing date is not transferred to the general ledger.

Sales and Use Tax Edit Message

This message appears if there is a discrepancy between entered and calculated sales tax amounts on the voucher. Options are:

Error: The system displays an error message describing the exceeded tolerance amounts and the calculated sales tax amount, and it places the voucher in a recycle status. You must accept the calculated amount.

No Message: No message appears. You can save the voucher, but tolerance checking is not performed.

Warning: The system displays an informational message when sales tax tolerances have been exceeded, but you can still save the voucher with the exceeded amount.

You set up sales tax tolerance amounts or percentages on the Payables Options - Tax Options page.

Difference Option

Select to specify how discrepancies are addressed between tax amounts that are entered by users and tax amounts that are calculated by the system. Options are:

Accrue: The system creates use tax charges for the voucher line whenever the calculated sales tax is greater than the sales tax input. This option enables both sales tax and use tax to be applied to a voucher line.

N/A (not applicable): If sales tax is applicable, the sales tax amount that is entered on the voucher is applied to the voucher line, even if the amount is different from the calculated sales tax. The system does not calculate use tax. If you use Taxware or Vertex software, you must select this option. If sales tax is applicable and the tax amount is not entered on the voucher, the system will calculate use tax.
