Understanding Regulatory Regions and Transactions
Regulatory Region is used as a control field on pages throughout your PeopleSoft Human Resources system. It is almost always a required field.
PeopleCode is used to associate the desired Regulatory Transaction type or view with the specific transactions that are processed on a page. Regulatory Region fields have an edit prompt off the transaction specific view. The view displays to a user only those countries that are available for that Regulatory Transaction type and for which the user has security access.
A system of standard defaults assists the user in selecting the appropriate regulatory region and transaction.
Note:
Usually you can override the defaults to ensure that the proper regulatory region is assigned to a transaction.
