Understanding the Expense System Operational Structure

PeopleSoft applications define a business unit as an operational subset of your organization, which enables you to plan operations around the way you work. PeopleSoft Expenses uses general ledger business units to establish defaults such as minimum receipt amounts, cash advance limits, time reporting options and thresholds, journal templates, automatic approval thresholds, and PeopleSoft Commitment Control and value-added tax (VAT) options.

Before you implement an application for your organization, consider how your business operates. To make the most of the flexible PeopleSoft application design, you must first decide how you want to map your operational business structures for PeopleSoft Expenses.
