Business Unit Structure

In PeopleSoft Receivables, a business unit is an organization or a subset of an organization that is independent with regard to one or more accounting or operational functions.

Deciding how many business units to use and when to use them depends on how you want to report on and track the transactions within your organization. Before you can define business units and start entering data into the system, you need to decide how you want to retrieve information from the system. The way that you retrieve information determines how you set up the business units.
