PeopleSoft Application Fundamentals and Companion Documentation
The PeopleSoft General Ledger documentation provides implementation and processing information for your PeopleSoft General Ledger system. However, additional, essential information describing the setup and design of your system resides in companion documentation. The companion documentation consists of important topics that apply to many or all PeopleSoft applications across the Financials, Enterprise Service Automation, and Supply Chain Management product lines. You should be familiar with the contents of the companion documentation:
The following companion documentation applies to PeopleSoft General Ledger:
PeopleSoft Application Fundamentals
PeopleSoft Global Options and Reports
PeopleSoft Commitment Control.
These topics provide an overview of Oracle's PeopleSoft General Ledger and discuss:
General Ledger business processes.
General Ledger integrations.
General Ledger implementation.
Note: Deselect all check boxes on the Installation Options - Products page for products that you have not licensed and are not using. As delivered, all check boxes for all products whether licensed or unlicensed are selected on the Products page and this can result in unnecessary setup for the unlicensed products and can also cause performance issues.
Several pages in the PeopleSoft General Ledger application operate in deferred processing mode. Most fields on these pages are not updated or validated until you save the page or refresh it by clicking a button, link, or tab. This delayed processing has various implications for the field values on the page. For example, if a field contains a default value, any value that you enter before the system updates the page overrides the default. Another implication is that the system updates quantity balances or totals only when you save or otherwise refresh the page.
See The guidelines for designing pages are in the PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Application Designer Developer's Guide.
