Securing ChartFields for PeopleSoft Billing

This topic provides an overview of securing ChartFields for PeopleSoft Billing and describes the components in PeopleSoft Billing that support ChartField Security.

PeopleSoft Billing provides ChartField and Distribution Code security in the components described in this section.

The Billing transaction entry pages allow you to directly enter a Distribution Code, bypassing the prompt list. These pages need to be secured to validate user-entered values against the security prompt list.

In PeopleSoft Billing, many ChartFields and distribution codes are supplied as default values. Default values are not validated against the ChartField Security rules. Therefore, a ChartField can be provided by default to a bill being created even if the user does not have access to the ChartField. In this case, the user can save the bill that contains the default information; however, the ChartField Security feature may restrict access to the transaction pages after the user exits the component.

The following table lists the components in PeopleSoft Billing that support ChartField Security:
