In the PeopleSoft system, business units are operational subsets of an organization that enable you to plan operations based on the way that the organization really functions.

Before you implement PeopleSoft Manufacturing for an organization, take a close look at how the business functions operationally. You must decide how to map the operational business structures—including storage locations, bills of material (BOMs), routings, costs, and procedures—into PeopleSoft Manufacturing.
