Element Ownership and Maintenance

The delivered elements and rules of your Global Payroll country extension can be classified based on whether they are owned and maintained by the customer or by the PeopleSoft system. Some elements and rules are maintained exclusively by PeopleSoft and cannot be modified or reconfigured, whereas others can be configured to meet requirements that are unique to your organization.

Element Ownership in Global Payroll

Global Payroll has the following five categories of element ownership:

Term	Definition
PS Delivered/Maintained	Elements delivered and maintained on an ongoing basis by PeopleSoft.
PS Delivered/Not Maintained	Elements delivered by PeopleSoft that the customer must maintain. This category consists primarily of either customary (non-statutory) rules or statutory elements that customers may want to define according to a different interpretation of the rules. Although PeopleSoft may occasionally update elements that are defined as PS Delivered/Not Maintained, you are not required to apply these updates.
Customer Maintained	Elements created and maintained by your organization. PeopleSoft does not deliver rules that are defined as Customer Maintained.
PS Delivered/Customer Modified	Elements that were originally PS Delivered/Maintained elements, but which the customer has decided to control (this change is irreversible).
PS Delivered /Maintained/Secure	Delivered elements that the customer can never modify or control.
