Common Elements Used in Lease Administration

Field or Control

Description

Business Unit

Identification code that represents a high-level organization of business information. Use a business unit to define regional or departmental units within a larger organization.

Effective Date

Date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing would be July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages or panels and batch processes that use the information use the current row.

See PeopleTools: Applications User's Guide

Effective Status

Indicates whether a row in a table is Active or Inactive. You cannot display inactive rows on transaction pages or use them for running batch processes. Inactivate rather than delete data you no longer use in order to maintain an audit trail.
