When the Service Purchase status is changed to SUB (or Submit) in Pension Administration, the system sends an Integration Broker message to SCM Integrations to create a Customer ID in the financials database using HCM employee data.
This customer represents the service purchase participant and, therefore, is used only for creating the service purchase transactions. This customer should never be used for invoicing purchases.
See the product documentation for PeopleSoft HCM: Global Payroll and PeopleSoft HCM: Pension Administration.
To prevent this customer’s Service Purchase items from being processed by Payment Predictor or the Overdue Charge process, some pension customer fields are populated with default values. Customer default values can be changed on the Service Default Options page. The user can also change the customer setup as required by its business needs in the Customer Information component.
Set up values in the Customer Information component to support Pension Administration transactions. This section identifies the required fields and field values for Pension Administration customers.
Required Values on the General Info Page
Use the Customer Information - General Info page (CUST_GENERAL1) to add or review customers' names and level information and to assign associated roles.
Set up and verify customer information for Pension Administration customers.

See the documentation for the Customer Information - General Info Page.
When the customer has just been created by Pension Administration, the fields are properly populated and the customer is ready for the service purchase transactions. Users can change the customer setup to adjust for business needs, but they must not edit these fields:
Level should always be Regular.
Customer status should be Active.
Bill To Customer check box should always be selected.
The Federal Customer and IPAC check boxes should be deselected.
Important! If these values do not match, pending item groups cannot be created when Pension Administration sends the Integration Broker message requesting creation of items.
Bill To Options for Pension Administration Customers

Select Payment Method = Select method employee will use to pay the items. These Payment Methods can be selected for Service Purchase transactions:
CHK (check)
DD (Direct Debit)
CC (Credit Card)
In most cases, CHK is used. Payment Method CHK enables the item to be paid in a Payment Worksheet or matched against a credit in a Maintenance Worksheet. The default Payment Method value for a customer representing a Pension employee will be CHK.
If this field is left blank, Receivables will search for a default value in Receivables Option setup. If this value is invalid, an error message will be sent to Pension Administration.
You can change the payment method after the invoice is created in Receivables on the following pages:
Item List page (. Select the Detail 1 tab).
View/Update Item Details – Detail 1 page ().
Subcustomers Not Supported
A customer representing Pension employees should not use subcustomers. The message requesting item creation will return an error if a customer with a subcustomer selected on the Miscellaneous General Information page () was sent to Receivables.
