Defining Tableset Controls

As you add values for your set control, the system automatically populates the Tableset Controls 1 table with default values. You define tableset controls in PeopleTools, and then Utilities, and then Administration, and then Maintain TableSet Controls using the browser. Here you can enter the set control value for which you want to assign a tableset.

For example, we use Company as our set control field, and PST, CCB, and VNB are values that we want to add to the Company table. The system automatically assumes that each new set control value maintains its own set of tables and does not enable table sharing. So, the default values are the same as the set control value. In this case, when we added the value CCB to the Company table, the system populated the tableset controls with a default setID of CCB.

Because CCB is a U.S.-based company that should share the same U.S. accounting codes, we must change the defaults to USA.
