All PeopleSoft products are delivered with the purchased and licensed products. Deselect the check boxes for all products that you have not licensed. Select the check boxes for the products that you have licensed and enabled in your database.
Unless you deselect the unlicensed products, you are likely to encounter performance issues or other processing problems when unnecessary processes or database activity is triggered that is related to the unlicensed products.
For example, unlicensed products for which the check boxes remain selected can cause unnecessary processing due to ChartFields that are specifically related to the unlicensed products. If you have not licensed any of these products—Project Costing, Expenses, Resource Management—you will see these ChartFields: PC Business Unit, Activity, Source Type, Category, or Subcategory on pages. Deselect the check boxes for these three products on the Installation Options - Products page, and then run ChartField configuration to inactivate the ChartFields (as they are specific to these three products).

PeopleSoft Products |
All PeopleSoft products are delivered to your database and are automatically selected by the system. Deselect all those you have not licensed. Note: Applications that you might not have licensed are delivered to your database with the purchase of your PeopleSoft applications and as delivered, all these applications are selected on this page and considered active by the system. Unless you deselect the unlicensed products, you are likely to encounter performance issues or processing problems when unnecessary processes or database activity is triggered that is related to the unlicensed products. For example, unlicensed products will cause unnecessary ChartField configuration activities related to the unlicensed products. |
Enable Commitment Control |
Click the check box for each PeopleSoft product, or application, for which you want to enable Commitment Control. You can enable or disable Commitment Control for each of these products at any time, but disabling Commitment Control for an application during a budget period may corrupt the consistency and integrity of your data. Many applications have dependencies with other applications that require you to maintain integration points between those applications for valid budget checking and notification. Do not enable or disable Commitment Control for an application unless you know precisely what effect your action will have on other applications. Note: Also, if you have not licensed Project Costing but have licensed Expenses or Resource Management and you still see Source Type, Category, or Subcategory on pages, deselect the check boxes for the unlicensed products on the Installation Options - Products page and use ChartField configuration to inactivate these ChartFields because they are specific to Project Costing. Other areas where you can encounter problems if unlicensed product check boxes are not deselected include on demand processing, and defining Ledgers for A Unit and ledger templates. Enable or disable Commitment Control processing for listed applications. |

For more information, see the Licensing Information User Manual (LIUM). |
Enforce Budgetary Only Edit |
Select to enforce the budgetary only edit when you save a transaction. This enables edit of Budgetary Only ChartField values if there are multiple effective-dated values with different Budgetary Only values. Deselect this option if you do not require this edit. This option provides additional editing on transaction pages that are not supported by existing edits on the ChartField page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, Design ChartFields, Define Values, ChartField Values, <ChartField>). Within some transaction pages, the existing prompt table edit restricts users from selecting ChartFields that are budgetary only ChartFields. However, if there are multiple effective dated rows on the ChartField page, then the prompt table edit may not recognize the budgetary only flag. This option provides additional online editing that is needed, in addition to the existing online edits. |
Use Flatten Tree Data |
Select to indicate that General Ledger processes that use PeopleSoft tree data should use flattened tree data if available and current. |
Maintain Flatten Tree Data |
Click this link to access the Tree Flattener Options page where you can select Detail List. Detail List indicates that you want to maintain a detailed list of flattened tree data.

DB Account Information (Dun and Bradstreet account information) |
Click to access the D & B Account page, where you enter login information for each Dun and Bradstreet account. |
Account Balancing Attributes |
Select the appropriate check box to activate the following account balancing attributes: Balance Sheet Indicator: If you define an account value as balance sheet or off-balance sheet, you must also assign various General Ledger processes, such as Journal Edit, Revaluation, Closing, Position Accounting, and so on, with the appropriate balance sheet or off-balance sheet account to perform the necessary balancing. Book Code: If you use the Book Code feature to further segregate transactions into balancing subsets within the same ledger, it is particularly important that the Book Code ChartField values and the Balance Sheet Indicator values be properly grouped and matched with your account ChartField to ensure proper balancing. You define a combination of a book code and a balance sheet indicator value as an account balancing group. You associate the two with an account as an attribute. You can activate any one of the account balancing attributes. You do not need to activate both if you want to activate only one. The system populates the Default Value field with the default account balancing group value that you set up when you configure your ChartFields. Note: Book Code is only supported by the General Ledger and Asset Management products. You might require a blank Book Code if Asset Management has a mix of asset business units with some using and some not using Book Codes, which need new Account Balancing Groups and interunit templates to use the blank Book Code value. |
Note: When you enable India GST the system disables the earlier sales tax, excise and VAT but retains customs duty as is.
Once enabled, before you transact in the new tax regime, it is mandatory to manually run the data conversion application engine program DCLC25709172 to disable excise rows that exist within PeopleSoft data structures.
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.

Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Default Budget Date |
Select a budget date default scheme for your requisitions, purchase orders, and vouchers. Values include: Accounting Date Default: Select to provide the document accounting date as the budget date default. Predecessor Doc Date Default: Select to copy the budget date from the predecessor document. |
Reversal Date Option |
Select the date to control reversal (re-budget checking) of documents. Values are: Prior Date: Select this option for the system to back out old entries, using the fiscal year and accounting period as they were originally recorded. For example, a purchase order originally created in period 1 is recorded as an encumbrance entry in period 1. However, if you then change the purchase order in period 2, giving it a new accounting date, the system reverses the purchase out of period 1 and rebooks it to period 2. Current Date: Using the current date option, entries are backed out and rebooked in period 2, leaving period 1 unchanged. Period 2 then has the net change to the document. |
BP Liquidation Option (budget period liquidation option) |
Values are: Current Document Budget Period: Select for liquidation to be the default budget period of the document being processed. For example, a purchase order originally recorded as an encumbrance for budget period 1 results in the liquidation of the encumbrance in the budget period of the expenditure that might have actually occurred in and been assigned to budget period 2. This option has one special scenario: if the ruleset ChartField was changed between the current document and its predecessor and the two ruleset ChartFields belong to different rulesets that have different budget period calendar, the budget period of the liquidation entry does not use that of the current document. Instead, the system uses the ruleset ChartField of the predecessor to get the corresponding budget period calendar, and it determines the liquidation budget period based on the calendar and the budget date of the current document. Prior Document Budget Period: Select to provide the budget period of the prior document as the default. For example, if a purchase order has a budget period of 1, then, when the expenditure occurs that liquidates the encumbrance, the liquidation occurs in the budget period assigned to the purchase order that created the original encumbrance, which is budget period 1. |

This is the maximum time in minutes that a user waits for an online budget checking request to complete. While waiting for the process to complete, the online transaction page is frozen. After the process is complete, the page is refreshed to show the budget checking status (whether the transaction passed or failed budget checking). However, if the maximum wait time has elapsed but the budget processor has not yet completed, the budget processor continues processing but the page is no longer frozen. The user does not need to wait any longer, but the page is not refreshed to show the budget checking status. Use the Process Monitor to check the budget processor status. You need to exit the component and re-enter to see the updated Budget Status once the budget processor is finished in the Process Monitor. |
Pop Up Error/Warning Message |
Select this option to have the system provide a pop-up message box after the online budget checking process is complete. This message only appears if the transaction encountered any budget checking errors or warnings. |
Enable Budget Pre-Check
Select the PeopleSoft applications in the Enable Budget Pre-check group box for which you want to enable check-only budget checking. The check-only feature allows you to budget-check transactions and budget journals online or in batch without posting transactions or budgets to the commitment control budget ledgers. The applications that appear in this group box vary, depending upon the products that are enabled for commitment control as specified in the Enable Commitment Control group box on the Installation Options - Products page.

Maximum Customers in Display |
Displays a default value of 100. You can override this value. This value controls the number of customers that will be displayed AS WELL AS the number of customers that the user will be able to add to a hierarchy. There is no limit to the number of customers that you can add to a hierarchical relationship (corporate, correspondence, or remit from). However, if the number of customers that you add exceeds either the default value of 100 or the number that you enter in this field, then the entire tree will not be displayed on the page and a message will appear in the graphical hierarchy explaining that the hierarchy contains more customers than the Maximum Customers in Display entered on this page allows. |
