Business Units

A PeopleSoft Payables business unit is an independent processing entity. Each business unit acts as a separate area of control, representing the primary level at which system tables can be controlled independently.

Depending on the business requirements, you can set up business units to share core control tables such as calendars, payment terms, and suppliers. In the PeopleSoft system, TableSet processing handles this setup for you automatically, eliminating the need to maintain multiple sets of data for each business unit.
