Note: The data that is entered using this page can also be loaded as an Application Data Set using the Data Migration Workbench. For more information about ADS and the Data Migration Workbench for FSCM applications, see below, “Understanding the Data Migration Workbench for the Accounting Entry Template”.
Although users enter individual expense line items on the voucher, the system generates additional accounting entry lines based on the accounting entry templates that you define and associate with individual vouchers. These additional accounting entry lines include the offset to accounts payable, or freight and tax expense entries.
The PeopleSoft Payables voucher and payment posting processes apply the accounting entry templates to individual vouchers to create balanced accounting entries. You set up accounting entry templates by SetID so that multiple business units can share the same (or different) accounting entries.
When you create a new template, the system presents you with a list of accounting entry types that includes standard types such as Accounts Payable, Cash Distribution, and Employee Advances. This list is delivered with the system, but you must add the specific account values that your organization uses for the offset.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Account |
Specify the associated account value for each accounting entry type. |
You can also specify other ChartField values such as Alternate Account, Fund Code, Operating Unit, and so on. There is one row for each account type, which tells the system what ChartField values to use when it performs posting. An account value for each is mandatory; values for other ChartFields are optional.
When setting up inheritance for PeopleSoft Payables, if you select Don't Inherit as the inheritance option for an inheritance group, the system uses the ChartField values established on the accounting entry template to generate the appropriate accounting entry lines.
If you are using PeopleSoft Payables and Project Costing; if you leave the Project ID field blank on the accounting entry template and select the Discount Allocation Policy field on the General Controls page in PeopleSoft Payables, then you should use ChartField inheritance for the project ID. This allows you to book discounts against same project as the original source amount.
After you have set up accounting entry templates, you can generate a report that displays the data that you have entered for each accounting entry template. The Accounting Entry Template report (APY0012) includes a description as well as a listing of the accounting entry templates that you have defined for your system.
Understanding the Data Migration Workbench for the Accounting Entry Template
PeopleSoft uses Accounting Entry Templates to generate accounting entries for Payables and Payment Processing . As there are several fields to be entered to create a new Accounting Entry Template, it is advantageous to create the Accounting Entry in a development database and use Application Data Set (ADS) definitions to migrate this data between development environments, test environments, and ultimately to a production environment.
Delivered ADS to Support PeopleSoft Allocations |
Application Data Set (ADS) Usage |
---|---|
ACCOUNTINGENTRY |
This data set includes all the records of Accounting Entry setup. Select this data set on the Data Migration Workbench - Project Definition page to move accounting entries from one database to another. |
All relevant records are delivered in the Query Access Tree (QUERY_TREE_AP) within the AP TABLES access group (PeopleTools, Security, Query Security, Query Access Manager).
PeopleSoft delivers an ADS Administrator permission list. For access, the AP TABLES access group should be included on the Data Migration page within the Access Group Permissions and access is given on the Copy Compare Permissions.

Use the Auto Numbering page (AUTO_NUM_PNL) to define automatic numbering specifications for PeopleSoft fields, such as a unique prefix for regular customers or for customers who are also vendors. The system automatically increments numbers by one.
Navigation:
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Auto Numbering Page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
![Auto Numbering Page](img/i-64d7d419n-7ea4.png)
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Field Name |
Select a field for automatic numbering. |
Start Seq (start sequence) |
Enter a prefix using up to three characters. For example, for the CUST_ID field, you may want to use a unique prefix of CST for regular customers and VND for regular customers who are also vendors. |
Max Length (maximum length) |
Enter a maximum length of number. |
Last Number Issued |
If you enter the last number assigned, automatic numbering starts by incrementing the last number issued by one. If you leave this field blank, the system uses automatic numbering by default. |
Default |
Select if you want the system to use automatic numbering by default. |
Note: Default flag on the Autonumber Table does not apply for Purchase Orders, Requisitions, Receivers, Return to Vendor(Suppliers).
Use the Auto Num BU page (AUTO_NUM_BU_PAGE) to define automatic numbering specifications at the business-unit level for PeopleSoft fields.
Navigation:
This page is similar to the Auto Numbering page that you use for automatic numbering; however, auto numbering by business unit limits auto numbering to one sequence for each field. Using the page, you can setup a single, auto-numbering sequence for a field across the business unit. This provides broader control of numbering within the business unit. The Default field value is always selected because there is only one numbering sequence for a given field in a business unit.
See the previous topic, Setting Up Automatic Numbering, for descriptions of fields on this page.
Use the Commodity Code page (COMMOD_CODE) to define commodity codes.
Commodity codes, also called freight classes, are used on bills of lading to group and identify shipped products for freight rating and insurance purposes.
Navigation:
Use the Distribution Network page (DS_NETWORK) to define distribution network codes.
Navigation:
A distribution network consists of a prioritized list of inventory business units. When a customer orders a product, distribution networks are used to determine the warehouse from which the stock should ship.
You can specify a distribution network code for each of your ship-to customers on the General Information - Ship To Options page. This code then appears by default on the customer's sales order shipment schedules.
When using PeopleSoft Order Management, you can elect to establish a default ship from Inventory business unit on the Order Management business unit Shipping and Returns page. You can use this as the default Inventory business unit for all order lines and schedules. This option is useful if you don't have a complicated distribution network, or if you always ship from one location. The other option on the Shipping and Returns page is to select a default distribution network code that the system uses on orders for ship-to customers who don't have an assigned distribution network code. You are allowed one or the other.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Inventory Unit |
Enter the Inventory business units that you want to be included in the distribution network. |
Use the Forecast Sets component (FORECOST_SETS) to set up forecast sets.
Use the Forecast Sets page (FORECAST_SET) to define versions of forecasts for PeopleSoft Supply Planning.
Navigation:
You can define different versions of forecasts for PeopleSoft Supply Planning. For example, you might have three different versions of a forecast; conservative, most likely, and optimistic. For each case, you can define forecast quantities by product or item to create what-if scenarios with different versions of the material and capacity plan based on different forecasts. You associate forecast sets with product forecasts in PeopleSoft Order Management and with item forecasts in PeopleSoft Inventory.
You might want to create two unique forecast sets—for example, OPTIMISTIC and LIKELY. Each item or product forecast record that you define in the system ties to one of these sets. This enables multiple versions of a forecast to exist for the same item or product. This table gives an example of how this works:
Optimistic Forecast |
Likely Forecast |
---|---|
Item: 1000 |
Item: 1000 |
Date: 12/1/00 |
Date: 12/1/00 |
Qty: 3500 |
Qty: 2500 |
Forecast Set: Optimistic |
Forecast Set: Likely |
Use the Freight Terms page (FREIGHT_TERMS) to set up freight terms.
Navigation:
Freight terms determine when the title passes for shipments. PeopleSoft Order Management passes freight term information to PeopleSoft Inventory along with requests for stock fulfillment. Freight term codes and descriptions print on quotations, order acknowledgments, packing lists, bills of lading, shipping manifests, and invoices.

Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Last, First, and Middle Name |
Enter the employee last, first, and middle names. The system considers this the legal name of the employee. |
Preferred Last, First, and Middle Name |
Enter the employee's preferred last, first and middle names if the employee wishes to be referred to as something other than their legal names. |
Display Name |
Enter the employee's name as they want it to appear on most transaction pages and reports. This typically includes Preferred Name information. The value in the Display Name field is required and shown on most pages in PeopleSoft Financials when the Display Preferred Name check box is selected on the Installation Options - Overall Page. If the page requires a <Last name, First name> format, then the page shows the values in the Preferred Last Name, Preferred First Name fields, as long as those fields are populated. If the Preferred Name fields are not populated then the system uses the Last Name and First Name fields. If a page or process requires a legal name, then the Last Name and First Name fields are used. For organizations who integrate employee data with PeopleSoft HCM, the information might include additional attributes such as suffixes and prefixes as configured in HCM. For non-HCM employees and resources:
Note: In FSCM, most pages that are designed to show a complete name display information from the Display Name field. Some pages may concatenate individual name fields. In these cases, Preferred First and Last are displayed if they are populated. Pages that show only a first or last name display Preferred Name information if populated. Pages that require legal name continue to use the First Name and Last Name information. |
Displaying Preferred Name
Some employees may ask to be identified by a preferred name rather than their legal name. The Display Preferred Name check box (Installation Options - Overall Page) allows this capability.
When this check box is selected, the system uses the Display Name to identify an individual and typically includes Preferred Name information. Most PeopleSoft Financial pages show the Display Name and Preferred Name fields. Pages and processes that require the legal name continue to do so. See Personal Data (Edit) Page (Common Definitions) to view an image showing the Display Name and Preferred Name fields used in FSCM.
The Personal Data record is the source of name information and can be updated using an interface with PeopleSoft HCM, or manually using navigations under Common Definitions, Travel and Expenses, Resource Management, Maintenance Management, Grants or a third-party interface.
If your organization uses PeopleSoft HCM, it is recommended that you update employee tables in your human resources system first, and then load the employee data into your PeopleSoft FSCM database using the PERSON_BASIC_SYNC or PERSON_BASIC_FULLSYNC messages. After the synchronization process completes, you may need to add or edit employee profiles in the FSCM database. Employee information is sensitive. Therefore, it is suggested that you carefully authorize access to these pages. Any changes you make in your FSCM database using Personal Data pages may be overwritten in subsequent HCM synchronizations.
Navigations to Update Name: Name information can be viewed and updated from several different navigations in FSCM. Your use of these navigations is largely dependent on the products installed and whether an employee or resource is sourced from and synchronized using PeopleSoft HCM.

Ultimate Use Code |
Enter the ultimate use code and its description. The PeopleSoft system uses ultimate use codes as qualifiers for sales and use tax (SUT) applicability. For each ship-to location, you can associate these codes with a tax rate and other criteria—such as item ID and vendor ID—to set up alternate tax rates that depend on the ultimate use of an item. You can enter any ultimate use code defined for a voucher's ship-to location directly on a voucher in the Voucher component. For example, if you buy a computer for personal or office use, you may be charged a 5% tax rate. If you buy the same computer and use it to manufacture something else, you may only be charged a 3% tax rate. If you set up your ship-to location sales and use tax defaults with an ultimate use code defined at the 3% tax rate, you can assign that ultimate use code to the voucher to retrieve the 3% rate instead of the 5% rate. |
Use the Ship To Locations - Sales/Use Tax Info page to attach ultimate use codes to a ship to location.
