Setting Up Departments

This topic discusses how to define departments.

Note:

If you implement Campus Solutions and a separate instance of PeopleSoft Human Capital Management, read the relevant documentation about CS-HCM Integration to understand the setup, functional, and technical implementation considerations.

Page Used to Define Departments

Page Name	Definition Name	Navigation	Usage
Department Profile	DEPARTMENT_TBL_GBL	Set Up Common Objects, and then Foundation Tables, and then Organization, and then Departments, and then Department Profile	Identify an internal business entity or department.

One example of how departments are used in Campus Solutions is when you set up service indicator codes. See Campus Community Fundamentals: Setting Up Service Indicator Codes and Reasons.

To set up department security, see Managing Department Security.

Defining Departments

Access the Department Profile page (Set Up Common Objects, and then Foundation Tables, and then Organization, and then Departments, and then Department Profile).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Department Profile page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Field or Control	Description
Effective Date	If you add a new department, set its effective date to predate (or be equal to) the effective date of your security tree.
Location Set ID and Location	To associate a department with a physical location, select the location. Maintain these values in the Locations component.
