When adding new customers to the database, begin by entering the required information in the Customer component.
Use the CUSTOMER_MAIN_CI component interface to load the main customer information, customer teams, and addresses into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_BILLTO_CI component interface to load billing-related data such as bill to options, customer correspondence, and customer credit into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_SOLDTO_CI component interface to load sold to-related information such as sold to options, product catalogs, customer hierarchy, customer product aliases, and brokers into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_SHIPTO_CI component interface to load ship to-related information such as ship to options, customer exception calendars, carrier account information, and indirect customers into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_MISC_CI, component interface to load miscellaneous information such as customer group, standard industry codes, VAT information, notes, attachments, and messages into the component tables and the CUSTOMER_REGION_CI component interface to load region codes.
You can also use the following component interfaces: Use the CUSTOMER Component Interface with EIP messaging to load specific customer information for setting up a customer. The CUSTOMER Component Interface uses all of the records within the CUSTOMER_GENERAL component.
Enter information that applies to one or more customer roles. You can override many of these settings at other points in the system.
When you add a customer, the customer ID might be NEXT by default. You can enable the system to assign the next number in sequence, as determined by the automatic numbering option that you set on the Automatic Numbering page. You can override the incremental assignment of IDs by entering another character combination in its place, or you can manually assign a customer ID.
Note: You can quickly create customers using Quick Customer Create.
PeopleSoft software is delivered with many enterprise integration points (EIPs) to send and receive customer and customer group data with a third-party system or another PeopleSoft application, such as CRM. These EIPs are implemented by means of service operations within PeopleSoft Integration Broker.
Oracle delivers the service operations in PeopleSoft Integration Broker with a default status of Inactive. You must activate each service operation before attempting to send or receive data from a third-party source or another PeopleSoft system, such as CRM.
If you are integrating with PeopleSoft CRM databases, Oracle recommends that you synchronize the customer table by performing a full batch publish to the subscribing system and provide updates to the subscribing system with incremental messages. Customers may be maintained in both PeopleSoft SCM and CRM. When this situation occurs, customer ID auto numbering should be maintained in the SCM database.
Use the information in the following table and refer to the setup instructions in the PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management Integrations Documentation, "Implementing Integrations," Setting Up Service Operations section.

---|---|
Career Master |
Enables you to record information about how career placements should be processed for a customer including, placement fee schedules, reference checks, and interviews. |
Job Supplement |
Provides additional information about the safety precautions or equipment that is used for a specific job. You can also use the job supplement to store information about the nature of a particular type of job. The question and answer fields that appear on the Worksite Master page are set up during system implementation. Note: You do not need to enter a job supplement every time that the customer places a similar job order. Add a new job supplement to the customer record only if the safety precautions, equipment, or physical requirements of a job are substantially different from the other job supplements that are on record for the customer. |
Forms |
Enables you to collect information about customers. This could include additional information about the safety precautions, physical requirements, or equipment that an applicant or employee uses for a specific job order, or any information that organization may want to collect. |
Worksite Master |
Stores additional information about the customer's physical plant, office environment, or campus, and helps to describe work opportunities to candidates and to orient employees to assignments that they have accepted. To create a worksite master record, you must first create customer and contact records. The question and answer fields that appear on the Worksite Master page are set up during system implementation. To make any changes to the list of available forms or to the content of the forms, contact the system administrator. |
Default Customer Event Lists |
Configure a Standard Event List as their default event list to be used for all user defined order types and then configure another unique event list to be used for specific user defined order types. So if the order type is listed specifically, the system will default the event list associated to that specific user defined order type. |
Contract Rates |
Enable the staffing system user to capture pay rate, bill rate and markup %, which have been negotiated and agreed upon by the staffing company and the customer. Ultimately, the rates entered here will be used to default on assignments. The rates established here will be used as the corresponding default values on the Billing tab of the Order. |
Use the Customer Information - General Info page (CUST_GENERAL1) to add or review customers’ names and level information and assign associated roles. You can also enter one or more addresses for customers and assign descriptions to each location.

If you select the Credit Check check box, then you must also select it at the customer level. This enables credit checking on a per customer basis. Note: If the PeopleSoft Order Management business unit has credit checking enabled, then all bill to customers using that business unit are expected to have credit profiles. A missing credit profile will result in the orders for that customer in the business unit being put on hold. Note: All fields except the Credit Limit Review Date are unavailable until you select this check box. These fields, except the Range % field, are applicable only when the system runs credit checks through PeopleSoft Order Management. |

The corporate customer option will override the installation default if a value is present. Values from the drop-down list box are Yes, No, and Installation Default. This drop-down list box is displayed only if the Allow Credit Profile to Override check box is selected on the order management installation record. |
Backlog Days |
Select the number of backlog days to include in the credit-available calculations. For example, if you select 60, when the system calculates credit available, it subtracts order lines that are scheduled to ship within 60 days. This part of the credit-checking algorithm is sometimes referred to as potential accounts receivable. The system calculates potential accounts receivable (backlog due to ship within a specified number of days) only for bill to customers. |

Hold If Outstanding AR Balance
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Aging ID and Aging Category |
If a customer has an outstanding balance in the specified aging ID at the specified aging category or older, the system might place all orders for that customer on hold, even if the customer has not reached the credit limit. The system places these orders on hold only if you assign a hold code for the Outstanding AR (outstanding accounts receivable) field on the Credit Processing page in PeopleSoft Order Management. Regardless of the aging ID and aging category that you specify on this page, PeopleSoft Receivables uses all of the applicable aging IDs and aging categories to calculate a customer's outstanding items.

Payment Method Options
Field or Control |
Description |

Bank Account |
Indicates the bank account from which the system collects direct debits for this customer. You can change this value on the direct debit worksheet. This magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) ID serves as the primary direct debit account from those accounts that you assign to the remit from customer on the MICR Information - Address page. |

Establish codes during setup on the Payment Terms page. |
Discount Grace Days and Due Grace Days |
Enter the number of additional days, beyond agreed payment terms, that you allow the customer to take the discount or to pay the invoice. The leeway is taken into account for the earned discount calculations on payment worksheets and by the Payment Predictor process. If you do not enter values in these fields, the system uses the default values that you set for the business unit on the Receivables Options - Payment Options page. |
Prenote for Direct Debit
A direct debit prenote is a zero-amount electronic payment, which is sent to the customer's bank to confirm the accuracy of the customer's bank information with the information that is set up in the PeopleSoft application. You need to populate the fields in Prenote for Direct Debit for the Create Direct Debits process in PeopleSoft Receivables to create prenotes, which are sent to the customer's bank for confirmation.

Payment Predictor Hold |
Select to prevent Payment Predictor from processing a customer's items. |
Method |
Specify the Payment Predictor method to use when the system applies payments from the customer. If you don't enter a method here, Payment Predictor uses the method that you specified for the business unit on the Receivables Options - Payment Options page. You can specify that the Payment Predictor method overrides only for bill to customers who are also remit from customers. If you enter a Payment Predictor method for a customer who is not a remit from customer and then attempt to save the record, the system issues an error message. |

Holiday Options |
Define default rules that the system uses to change the due date for the customer when the date falls on a bank holiday. The system uses the bank account that you assign to the correspondence customer to determine bank holidays. If you do not set up bank holiday rules for the customer, the system uses the rules that you define for the business unit on the Receivables Options - General 1 page. Select a value: Not Applicable: Does not change the due date. Due After Holiday: Changes the due date to one day after the holiday. Due Before Holiday: Changes the due date to one day before the holiday. |

Write-Off Info
Change the default tolerances that the Automatic Maintenance process (AR_AUTOMNT) and maintenance worksheet use to write off items for a customer, if needed. The default is no limit.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Maximum Write-Off Amount |
Enter the maximum amount that you can write off for either an individual item or for the remaining balance for a match group. The system writes off an amount below the maximum amount if it does not exceed the percentage of the item's original amount or the percentage of the remaining balance for a match group. For example, if you enter an amount of 25.00, the process writes off amounts up to 25.00 AUD. However, if you enter a maximum write off percent of 10 percent and the item's total original amount is 240.00 AUD, the system writes off more than 24.00 AUD. For no limit, enter all 9s. Enter 0 or leave the field blank to have no write-offs for the customer. |
Maximum Write-Off Percent |
For the maintenance worksheet, enter the maximum percentage of the item amount that the system can write off. The write-off percent applies only to write-offs for individual items, not for remaining amounts for items or match groups. For the Automatic Maintenance process, enter the maximum percentage that the remaining balance can be for a match group. The process adds the total debits or total credits and divides the higher amount by the remaining balance for the match group to determine the percentage that can be written off. The maximum percentage that you can enter is 100. For no limit, enter 100. |
Days Until Write-Off |
Enter the minimum age of items before the system automatically writes them off. For example, if you enter 30, the system cannot write off an item until it has been in the system for 30 days. For no limit, enter 0. |
