Creating a Group

Creating a group in PeopleSoft HCM involves three steps:

1. Define the population that belongs to the group.

2. Set up group security.

3. Refine dates and other application-specific parameters in individual PeopleSoft applications (if necessary).

Note:

These steps are designed for experienced users who are familiar with the record and field structures in PeopleSoft HCM.

Use Group Build pages to:

• Select the records, fields, and values that define the group.

• Set up the group's security.

Groups for Manage Variable Compensation

To use an existing review group later in the Manage Variable Compensation business process, link the existing group ID to a node in the Variable Compensation Group Tree in the Manage Variable Compensation business process.

Group build comes with a group ID of No Group that is required for Variable Compensation processing. The group ID NOGROUP is used for Variable Compensation plans without groups. It is a reserved group ID, and you cannot create a Group ID of NOGROUP in the Group Build application.
