Set ID and Business Unit

Set ID and Business Unit

SetID
An identification code that represents a set of control table information or table sets. Set Ids enable the sharing of a set of control table information across two or more Business Units.

Table sets enable you to share control table information and processing options among business units. The goal is to minimize redundant data and system maintenance tasks. When you assign a setID to a record group in a business unit, you indicate that all of the tables in the record group are shared between that business unit and any other business unit that also assigns that setID to
that record group. For example, you can define a group of common job codes that are shared between several business units. Each business unit that shares the job codes is assigned the same setID for that record group."

Business Unit
An identification code that represents a high-level organization of business information. You can use a business unit to define regional or departmental units within a larger organization.

Business Unit organizes your company or your organization, SetIDs help you organize your data within the system. The HRMS system uses tables (Control Tables or Prompt Tables) that use a high-level key that enables you to identify and retrieve data from the system. A secondary high-level key, referred to as a SetID, has also been added on various tables. SetIDs are simply the labels used to identify a TableSet. Business Unit and SetID functionality in PeopleSoft HRMS also provides you with a higher business level for reporting purposes and other business data roll-up.
