Understanding Table Setup Data for PeopleSoft Financials

The PeopleSoft Student Financials application recognizes three types of business units: the SF (student financials) business unit, the AP (accounts payable) business unit, and the GL (general ledger) business unit. You define GL business units in PeopleSoft General Ledger and load them through an integration point. The GL Business Unit page (Set Up Common Objects > Foundation Tables > Organization > GL Business Unit) enables you to verify that the GL business units were loaded.

You define the journal generator templates in PeopleSoft General Ledger and load them through an integration point. The Journal Generator templates define the valid template IDs that the GL Interface process assigns to each accounting entry that it creates. Each accounting entry must have a valid journal generator template ID for it to be properly recorded in PeopleSoft General Ledger.
