This section lists common elements used in PeopleSoft EPM.

SetID

Provides the ID code for a tableset. A tableset is a group of tables (records) necessary to define your company's structure and processing options.

Effective Date

Establishes the date the row in the table becomes effective. It determines when you can view and change the information. Pages and batch processes that use the information use the current row.

Status

Indicates whether a row in a table is active or inactive. You cannot select inactive rows on pages or use them for running batch processes.

Description

Allows freeflow text up to 30 characters that describes what you are defining.

Run Control ID

Identifies specific run control settings for a process or report.

Report ID

Identifies the report.

Program Name

Last Run On

Indicates the date the report or process was last run.

As Of Date

Indicates the last date for which the report or process includes data.

Scenario ID

Several pages in PeopleSoft EPM operate in deferred processing mode. Most fields on these pages are not updated or validated until you save the page or refresh it by clicking a button, link, or tab. This delayed processing has various implications for the field values on the page. For example, if a field contains a default value, any value that you enter before the system updates the page overrides the default. Another implication is that the system updates quantity balances or totals only when you save or otherwise refresh the page.
