Understanding the PeopleSoft Business Structure

As with all PeopleSoft applications, you recreate your business environment within the PeopleSoft business structure when implementing PeopleSoft Resource Management. Business units, SetIDs, and tablesets are the foundation that enables the flexible grouping of your people assets while minimizing the administrative burden of maintaining organization attributes. This feature enables you to organize your businesses by dividing them into logical units other than companies and departments—a particularly useful feature for companies that are operating in the global market. This feature also enables you to control how you share your organizational data among those organizational units.

This section discusses:

• Business units, SetIDs, tablesets, and record groups.

• Projects and general ledger business units.
