This chapter provides an overview of customer roles and discusses how to:
Copy customer attributes.
Add general customer information.
Create user-defined customer fields.
Note. The use of the customer General Information pages might vary, depending on whether you choose to interface customer information or perform customer maintenance online. You can enter or update information from an interface that you write to an existing system containing customer information.

This section discusses:
Customer roles overview.
Corporate customers.
Sold to customers.
Ship to customers.
Bill to customers.
Customer roles determine the functional use of the customer ID. Customer information is associated with specific customer roles. You can use the customer General Information component to maintain information that applies to multiple customer roles and to select those roles. You can use the pages with role designations to enter processing attributes and additional information that are unique to the customer's function.
PeopleSoft Order Management shares the customer master file with:
PeopleSoft Billing.
PeopleSoft Contracts Administration.
PeopleSoft Inventory.
PeopleSoft Receivables.
PeopleSoft Grants Administration.
PeopleSoft Pay/Bill Management.
PeopleSoft Staffing Front Office.
PeopleSoft Order Management uses the corporate, sold to, ship to, bill to, broker, and indirect customer roles. Contracts Administration, Billing, and Receivables use all customer roles except sold to, broker, indirect, and ship to.
This diagram illustrates the various customer roles:
Note. The Ship To customer role and the Ship To address are called Worksite customer role and Worksite customer address when Staffing Front Office or Pay/Bill Management are being used based on installation options.
Customer Roles
PeopleSoft Receivables supports two types of corporate customer structures:
A related customer structure, which you define on the General Information or Corporate Customer page and which the maintenance and payment worksheets use.
A multilevel hierarchy structure, which you define with the Tree Manager and use for specialized inquiry purposes.
Note. PeopleSoft Order Management uses the related customer structure.
Suppose, for example, that you have a corporate customer group with three basic levels:
Local offices
Regional headquarters
Corporate headquarters
The levels are different in each customer structure. You can use one or both of these structures for corporate accounts.
The Related Customer Structure
The related structure is useful for customers who have multiple accounts with you or for customers who have more than one customer ID.
To create a related structure with two levels:
Add each local office as a customer.
Add each regional headquarters as a customer.
Add the corporate headquarters as a customer.
This diagram illustrates that Level 2 customers all point to the corporate headquarters as the level 1 corporate customer:
Related customer structure with two levels
The Multilevel Hierarchy Structure
The multilevel structure is useful for large corporate accounts. In this structure, you add each local office as a customer. However, you can but are not required to add the regional headquarters or the corporate headquarters as a customer.
This diagram illustrates that in the tree structure, the local offices are detail values (level 3 customers only), and the regional (level 2) and corporate headquarters (level 1) groupings are nodes that are used to organize detail values into corporate groups:
Multilevel hierarchy structure with three levels defined in Tree Manager
Note. The related structure can contain customers in different setIDs, whereas the tree structure cannot.

Setting Up Tree-Based Corporate Customers
Using the General Information component, you can enter processing information for customers who place orders. For sold to customers, you can:
Enter order parameters, such as restocking fees and product substitutions.
Define unique product catalogs for each sold to customer.
Maintain a sold to customer's designations for products as product aliases.
Elect to enter quotes and orders using either set of product identifiers.
Associate multiple bill to and ship to customers with a single sold to customer.
Associate multiple sold to customers with a single corporate customer.
Associate multiple broker customers with a single sold to customer.
Define pricing options.
Assign shipping container and carton label formats.
You can enter or review processing options for customers who receive delivery of goods or services. For ship to customers, you can:
Define shipping options and container label formats.
Define just-in-time parameters and demand fulfillment options.
Associate multiple indirect customers to a single ship to customer.
Assign multiple carrier accounts to a single ship to customer.
Define exception delivery dates for the ship to customer.
Associate multiple ship to customers with a single sold to customer.
Associate a single ship to customer with multiple sold to customers.
Note. The Ship To customer role and Ship To address are called Worksite customer role and Worksite customer address when Staffing Front Office or Pay/Bill Management are being used based on installation options.
Set up ship to customers to reflect the processing options that you want to apply to each ship to customer and each ship to location address.
The Sold To and Ship To Customer Relationship
To apply the correct processing criteria to sold to and ship to customers, you must correctly assign either separate customer IDs or location addresses to customers.
This diagram illustrates that all of the ship to addresses (location addresses) for ship to customer 50001 have the same processing options; only the addresses vary. A single ship to customer is associated with multiple sold to customers.
One processing option for multiple ship to addresses
To establish different processing criteria for each address for the ship to customer, assign the addresses to different customer IDs. This diagram illustrates that each ID can have multiple location addresses that share the same processing options:
Multiple processing options for multiple ship to addresses and location
Bill to customers receive invoices. When you associate a customer with the bill to customer role, you establish default values and processing options that the system uses to generate invoices. For example, you can define attributes to generate consolidated invoices, require purchase order numbers, or bill freight charges at order entry or at shipment for each of bill to customer. For bill to customers, you can:
Assign roles for billing and accounts receivables specialists, collections, and credit analysis.
Select whether to use Direct Invoicing and other billing options.
Determine how to consolidate billing data.
Select purchasing options such as whether to require a blanket PO.
Choose interunit billing.
Select payment options and payment terms.
Note. When using Staffing Front Office or Pay/Bill Management, customers added with the Bill To role must also have the Sold To role. Similarly, customer bill-to addresses must also be marked as sold-to addresses.
This section provides an overview of customer attributes and discusses how to select customer information to copy.
In Add mode, you can copy attributes from an existing customer or customer template to a new customer. These tables list the fields that the system copies from the Customer - General component when you select the corresponding option on the Copy Customer page.

Click the Copy From Customer link on the General Info page. |
Select information to copy from existing customers to new customers. You can also create customer templates that contain information that you repeat for multiple customers. If you use templates, attach a customer note to the customer template to prevent orders that are entered for them. |
Access the Copy Customer page.
Note. The system does not copy all customer fields; it does not copy unique fields, such as customer names. To modify the copy function to include a field that is not currently copied, add the field name to the associated copy view and then re-create the view. To prevent copying a field, remove that field from the copy view. The CNTCT_SEQ_NUM, CNTCT_SEQ_SHIP, and CNTCT_SEQ_SOLD contact fields are no longer copied. Set up this contact information on the Contact Customer page.
To add general customer information, use the General Information (CUSTOMER_GENERAL), Customer ID Nbrs and SIC Codes (CUST_ALT_INFO), Customer Attachments (CUST_ATT), Customer Carriers (CUST_CARRIER), Customer Hierarchy (CUST_HIERARCHY), Customer Messages (CUST_MSG), Customer Product Aliases (CUST_PROD_ALIAS), Customer Product Catalogs (CUST_PROD_CATALOG), Customer Region Codes (CUST_REGN_CODE), and Customer Ship Date Exceptions (CUST_SHIP_EXCPT) components.
This section provides an overview of adding customers, third-party integration and staffing pages, and discusses how to:

When adding new customers to the database, begin by entering the required information in the Customer component.
Use the CUSTOMER_MAIN_CI component interface to load the main customer information, customer teams, and addresses into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_BILLTO_CI component interface to load billing related data such as bill to options, customer correspondence, and customer credit into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_SOLDTO_CI component interface to load sold to related information such as sold to options, product catalogs, customer hierarchy, customer product aliases, brokers into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_SHIPTO_CI component interface to load ship to related information such as ship to options, customer exception calendars, carrier account information, indirect customers into the component tables. Use the CUSTOMER_MISC_CI component interface to load miscellaneous information such as region codes, customer group, standard industry codes, VAT information, notes, attachments, messages into the component tables.
These component interfaces can also be used. The CUSTOMER Component Interface is used with EIP messaging to load specific customer information to setting up a customer. The CUSTOMER_GENERAL Component Interface uses all of the records within the Customer component.
Enter information that applies to one or more customer roles. You can override many of these settings at other points in the system.
When you add a customer, the customer ID might be NEXT by default. You can enable the system to assign the next number in sequence, as determined by the automatic numbering option that you set on the Automatic Numbering page. You can override the incremental assignment of IDs by entering another character combination in its place, or you can manually assign a customer ID.
Note. You can quickly create customers using Quick Customer Create.
See Also
Also, you can use the Customer enterprise integration point to publish customer information and interface with other packages that require synchronization of customer data. PeopleSoft supports the customer and customer group message used for inbound and outbound publishing. If you are integrating with PeopleSoft CRM databases, we recommend that you synchronize the customer table by performing a full batch publish to the subscribing system and provide updates to the subscribing system with incremental messages. Customers may be maintained in both PeopleSoft SCM and CRM. When this situation occurs, customer ID auto numbering should be maintained in the SCM database.
Note. Pay/Bill Management sends customer information from Financials to HRMS using the application messages CUSTOMER_SYNC and CUSTOMER_FULL_SYNC. This integration is only from release 8.9 to release 8.9; cross-release integration is not supported for these messages. You can use customer information in HRMS to create custom related displays for time entry purposes.
These messages are used to integrate with customers and customer groups:
Customer (CUSTOMER_FULLSYNC)
Customer (CUSTOMER_FULLSYNC_EFF)
Customer (CUSTOMER_SYNC_EFF)
Customer (CUSTOMER_SYNC)
Customer Contact (CONTACT_FULLSYNC)
Customer Group (CUSTOMER_GROUP_FULLSYNC)
Customer Group (CUSTOMER_GROUP_SYNC)
Customer Group (CUSTOMER_GROUP_FULLSYNC_EFF)
Customer Group (CUSTOMER_GROUP_SYNC_EFF)

Career Master |
Enables you to record information about how career placements should be processed for a customer including placement fee schedules, reference checks and interviews. |
Job Supplement |
Provides additional information about the safety precautions or equipment that is used for a specific job. You can also use the job supplement to store information of the nature of a particular type of job at the customer. The question and answer fields that appear on the Worksite Master page are set up during system implementation. Note. You do not need to enter a job supplement every time that the customer places a similar job order. Add a new job supplement to the customer record only if the safety precautions, equipment, or physical requirements of a job are substantially different from the other job supplements that are on record for the customer. |
Forms |
Enables you to collect information about customers. This could include additional information about the safety precautions, physical requirements, or equipment that an applicant or employee uses for a specific job order, or any information that organization may want to collect. |
Worksite Master |
Stores additional information about the customer's physical plant, office environment, or campus, and helps to describe work opportunities to candidates and to orient employees to assignments that they have accepted. To create a worksite master record, you must first create customer and contact records. The question and answer fields that appear on the Worksite Master page are set up during system implementation. To make any changes to the list of available forms or to the content of the forms, contact the system administrator. |

|
Select a status (from those that you define on the Collection Status page) when you turn over a customer for collection. Status codes vary according to business practices; for example, they might represent different collection agencies that you use. |
PeopleSoft Receivables uses this check box for informational purposes only. Changing a customer’s status to dispute has no effect on item or payment processing. |
|
Select a status (from those that you define on the Dispute Status page) when you place a customer in dispute. As with collection status codes, dispute status codes vary by business. They usually indicate the cause for dispute, such as a pricing error or an incorrect shipment. |
|
Enter the disputed amount. This value can be the customer’s account balance, the amount of a single item, or some other amount. It can be a negative or positive value. |
Credit Check Information
Applies to the bill to customer, and workflow processes can reference it. When a bill to customer exceeds the credit limit, for example, the system adds this customer to the worklist of the workflow user who is assigned to the customer, indicating that the user should review this customer’s account. Note. A blank Credit Limit field represents unlimited credit, even if you select the Credit Check check box on this page and establish credit checks on the Credit Processing page. To indicate that a customer does not have unlimited credit, enter an amount, which could be as little as .01 or as high as the customer’s credit worthiness allows. |
|
Enter a percentage by which you allow customers to exceed their credit limits before hold processing takes effect. If you enter 2%, for example, the system adds two percent of the customer’s credit limit to the available credit amount. Depending on the percentage that you enter, the credit limits might be higher than those that you originally established for the customer. |
|
Enter a percentage to represent a comfort level that is relative to this customer’s credit limit. PeopleSoft Receivables uses this value. You can flag some customers, for example, when they get within 80 percent of their credit limits; alternately, you can allow other customers to use 110 percent of their credit limits. |
|
Date |
Enter the credit limit date. This date is distinct from the effective date so that changes to the credit limit or other credit information remain independent of each other. |
Enter an amount if the customer is a corporate customer. The credit limit amount appears by default, but you can override that value. You can also enter a percentage over limit, a range percentage, and a date. |
|
Enter a percentage by which you allow corporate customers to exceed their credit limits before hold processing takes effect. |
|
Enter a percentage to represent a comfort level that is relative to this corporate customer’s credit limit. PeopleSoft Receivables uses this value. |
|
Date |
Enter the credit limit date. |
Hold If Outstanding AR Balance
If a customer has an outstanding balance in the specified aging ID at the specified aging category or older, the system might place all orders for that customer on hold, even if the customer has not reached the credit limit. The system places these orders on hold only if you assign a hold code for the Outstanding AR (outstanding accounts receivable) field on the Credit Processing page in PeopleSoft Order Management. Regardless of the aging ID and aging category that you specify on this page, PeopleSoft Receivables uses all of the applicable aging IDs and aging categories to calculate a customer’s outstanding items. Note. Even if you elect to forego credit checking for a customer, the system checks for values in the Aging ID and Aging Category fields and places orders on hold if there are open receivables that meet or exceed the specified parameters. |

Billing Options
Billing Consolidation Data
Assign a value to associate groups of bills to consolidate. This free-form field enables you to create labels that best suit business needs. |
|
Select a value to determine which consolidation customer (defined on the General Info page) receives the consolidated bill for this bill to customer. |

Enter a default number to use for all orders that this bill to customer places. When the end date passes, the blanket purchase order (PO) number no longer appears by default on the sales order header when you select this bill to customer. |
Immediate Payment Required and Deposit Percent |
Select this option if you want to force a payment at the time of the order for the goods the customer is taking with them. When this option is enabled, the Deposit Percent field on the customer record is defaulted to 100%, which will require the customer to pay in full for the goods that the customer is not taking with them at order time, for example, a backorder or special ordered item. The Deposit Percent can be modified on the customer record as necessary. |
Select the customer’s default payment method. |
|
Select a draft type that you previously defined on the Draft Type page. |
|
Specify the group to which the customer belongs. The system uses direct debit groups to identify groups of customers to process simultaneously. The group names are predefined. |
|
Indicates the bank account from which the system collects direct debits for this customer. You can change this value on the direct debit worksheet. This magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) ID serves as the primary direct debit account from those accounts that you assign to the remit from customer on the MICR Information - Address page. |
|
Specifies whether you will create a draft document for the customer if the payment method is by draft. When you create a document, the system prints a draft document for the customer. If you do not create a document, the system prints only a draft statement. |
|
Select a value: Preapproved: Submits the draft to the customer’s bank for payment without the customer’s sign-off. Approval Required: Sends a draft document to the customer for review and approval before submitting the draft document to their bank. |
|
Select a value if Direct Debit is the payment method. Direct debit profiles establish parameters, such as item exclusions, customer exclusions, approval limits, and processing options. Set up profiles on the Profile page. |
Select a default ID for the customer. You can override this value by entering payment terms directly on the Pending Item 1 page. If you do not set payment terms for the customer, the system uses the terms that you associate with the business unit on the Receivables Options - Payment Options page. Establish codes during setup on the Payment Terms page. |
|
Enter the number of additional days, beyond agreed payment terms, that you allow the customer to take the discount or to pay the invoice. The leeway is taken into account for the earned discount calculations on payment worksheets and by the Payment Predictor process. If you do not enter values in these fields, the system uses the default values that you set for the business unit on the Receivables Options - Payment Options page. |
Define rules for the Payment Predictor process (ARPREDCT) for the customer.
Select to allow partial payments for underpayments and to take unearned discounts when you use the #DTL_TLR algorithm group. You must also select a Payment Predictor method that executes #DTL_TLR. If you clear this check box, the system uses the values that you specify on the Receivables Options - Predictor Detail page to determine whether to create a write-off or adjustment item for underpayments overpayments when Payment Predictor runs the #DTL_TLR algorithm group. |
|
Select to prevent Payment Predictor from processing a customer’s items. |
|
Specify the Payment Predictor method to use when the system applies payments from the customer.

You can specify that the Payment Predictor method overrides only for bill to customers who are also remit from customers. If you enter a Payment Predictor method for a customer who is not a remit from customer and then attempt to save the record, the system issues an error message. |
Define default rules that the system uses to change the due date for the customer when the date falls on a bank holiday. The system uses the bank account that you assign to the correspondence customer to determine bank holidays. If you do not set up bank holiday rules for the customer, the system uses the rules that you define for the business unit on the Receivables Options - General 1 page. Select a value: Not Applicable: Does not change the due date. Due After Holiday: Changes the due date to one day after the holiday. Due Before Holiday: Changes the due date to one day before the holiday. |
|
Days |

Default Write-Off Tolerances
Change the default tolerances that the Automatic Maintenance process (AR_AUTOMNT) and maintenance worksheet use to write off items for a customer, if needed. The default is no limit.
Enter the maximum amount that you can write off for either an individual item or for the remaining balance for a match group. The system writes off an amount below the maximum amount if it does not exceed the percentage of the item's original amount or the percentage of the remaining balance for a match group. For example, if you enter an amount of 25.00, the process writes off amounts up to 25.00 AUD. However, if you enter a Maximum Write off Percent of 10 percent and the item's total original amount is 240.00 AUD, the system will not write off more than 24.00 AUD. For no limit, enter all 9s. Enter 0 or leave the field blank to have no write-offs for the customer. |
|
For the maintenance worksheet, enter the maximum percentage of the item amount that the system can write off. The write-off percent applies only to write-offs for individual items not for remaining amounts for items or match groups. For the Automatic Maintenance process, enter the maximum percentage that the remaining balance can be for a match group. The process adds the total debits or totals credits and divides the higher amount by the remaining balance for the match group to determine the percentage that can be written off. The maximum percentage that you can enter is 100. For no limit, enter 100. |
|
Enter the minimum age of items before the system automatically writes them off. For example, if you enter 30, the system cannot write off an item until it has been in the system for 30 days. For no limit, enter 0. |

Ship to customer options are keyed by effective date to enable you to keep a history of any changes that you make to the customer’s rules and to enter changes that go into effect on a future date. |
Ship To Options
If you select Yes, then enter a value in the Number of Days Early and the Days Allowed After Request Date fields; do not leave them blank. A blank in either of those fields equals 0 and has no effect on processing. You can use those fields to manage shipping options. |
|
Enter the number of days beyond the requested arrival date that a customer accepts a delivery. |
|
Specify the number of days before the scheduled arrival date that the customer accepts delivery, if the customer accepts early shipments. The system calculates the early ship date by subtracting the number of days early from the scheduled ship date on the schedule. |
Demand Fulfillment Options
Indicates whether the customer accepts partial shipment schedules. |
|
Indicates whether the customer accepts partial orders. |
|
Select Yes if the customer prefers not to receive backorders. |
Note. PeopleSoft Inventory considers Partial Schedules and Cancel Backorder requirements when it processes demand for the customer. For example, if you select Yes in the Cancel Backorder field, the PeopleSoft Inventory system does not create an automatic backorder after an initial partial shipment.
Domestic and Export Shipment Options
Specify which shipment method to use for domestic and export shipments for this customer. You can use shipping priority codes as the final sort option for fulfilling orders on the General Information - Ship To Options page. |
When documents are required for all shipments outside of the U.S. for a particular ship to customer, select the check boxes in this group box for the required documents.

Sold To Customer Options
Number Preference
Select to enter products on orders or quotations using the customer's part numbers (product aliases) or system product IDs. Both numbers appear on the order line. To make customer part numbers available at order entry, set up product aliases by customer on the General Information - Product Aliases page. The system product ID or customer product ID appears by default on sales orders for sold to customers, depending on which of these two values you select. |
Designate the number of days to extend discounts on prices that have reached their expiration dates. |
|
Enter a default value for the customer during order entry. The Exclusive Pricing ID is an arbitration plan that applies specific price rules to a sales order. |
|
Enter a value to use weight and volume pricing. This is an arbitration plan defined specifically for weight and volume pricing. |
|
Determines the sequence in which the system applies discounts or surcharges in the price rule to base or list prices. If you do not associate an Arbitration Plan with a sold to customer, the system uses the default Arbitration Plan that you designate on the Arbitration Plan page. The exclusive pricing ID takes precedence of the arbitration plan. If the system finds no price adjustments for the exclusive pricing ID, it searches for price adjustments using the arbitration plan. |
Specify how the sales order requests generated in VMI replenishments will be grouped. The options are: None: Select to instruct the VMI replenishment process to generate a separate order for every replenishment request. Ship To Customer: Select to instruct the VMI Replenishment process to combine all replenishment requests for the same ship to customer on the same sales order or material stock request. Sold To Customer: Select to instruct the VMI Replenishment process to combine replenishment requests for the same sold to customer on the same sales order. This will apply only to sales orders for non-consigned customers. |
|
Check this option if you perform receipt verification where you acknowledge receipt of goods at the VMI location. Shipments will be assumed in-transit until the verification is received. Note. If the check box is unchecked, you will not be sending receipt acknowledgements and, therefore, the autoputaway feature for interunit shipments will be invoked. |
|
If the check box is checked and the VMI Hold Code is defined on the Hold Processing page for the PeopleSoft Order Management Business Unit, all orders will be created with VMI hold assigned. Orders should be reviewed and approved before they are released to PeopleSoft Inventory. |

If lot, serial, or container information is maintained at the VMI customer, all transactions received from that customer will contain this item detail. If lot, serial, or container information is not maintained at the customer, this information will not be included on the transactions, and this inventory will need to be depleted using FIFO logic. If the consignment flag is on, these flags will be on also. These flags may not be updated if there is inventory on hand or in transit to the Ship-To Customer. |

Vendors and customers have a one-to-one relationship. To maintain that relationship, the system ensures that any changes that are made to a vendor-customer association are updated on the customer record and the vendor record. When you assign a PeopleSoft Receivables customer to a particular vendor or when you change a vendor assignment, the system handles the request as follows:

Select, for individual customers, to activate the appropriate number of subcustomer fields. You must set default values for each active field. You cannot modify this option if a customer has open items in PeopleSoft Receivables. In PeopleSoft Receivables, you can override subcustomer default values on item pages. However, when Payment Predictor creates a new item, such as an on-account payment, the system uses the default values and prevents you from overriding them. If you select this check box and a customer has subcustomer data, the system populates this information on the sales order and passes it to PeopleSoft Billing. You can also add subcustomer information during sales order entry. |
Note. The number of subcustomer fields that are available in this group box, which may include SubCustomer 1, and SubCustomer 2, depends on the number of qualifiers (one, two, or none) that you enable during installation on the Installation Options - Overall/GL page.
