Setting Up HCM Options on the PeopleTools Options Page

To set up HCM options on the PeopleTools Options page, use the PeopleTools Options component (PSOPTIONS).

This topic discusses how to set up HCM options on the PeopleTools Options page.

You use the PeopleTools Options page to set a variety of values that are related to:

Multi-company organizations.
Organizations that conduct business using more than one currency.
Multiple jobs functionality.

Access the PeopleTools Options page on the PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration menu.

See PeopleTools: System and Server Administration, "Using PeopleTools Utilities", Using Administration Utilities.

Select the following check boxes, as applicable, to activate these kinds of functionality:

Field or Control	Description
Multi-Company Organization	Select if your organization comprises more than one company or if you use PeopleSoft Pension Administration to set up companies specifically to house your pension payees.
Multi-Currency	Select to enter data in more than one currency. For example, if you have offices in the United States and Italy, you may want to calculate pay rates in both U.S. dollars and Euros. If you select Multi-Currency, the system displays a Currency Code field on pages where amount fields appear. Note: Multi-Currency doesn't affect PeopleSoft Global Payroll, which has its own multiple currency functionality.
Multiple Jobs Allowed	PeopleSoft HCM requires that you leave this option selected. Multiple job functionality must be active so that PeopleSoft Human Resources can manage data for people with whom you have different types of organizational relationships (employee, contingent worker, and person of interest).
