Understanding Data Sharing Among Business Units

The PeopleSoft system uses business units to separate organizations within the institution. Although each business unit represents a separate organization, there is data that is shared throughout the institution. Business units can share data by using tableset sharing, which is a way to share control table information among business units to minimize redundant data and system maintenance tasks.
