Common Elements Used in This PeopleBook

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.
Effective Date	Date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing is July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages or panels and batch processes that use the information use the current row.
EmplID (employee ID)	Unique identification code for an individual associated with the organization.

Process Frequency	Designates the appropriate frequency in the Process Frequency group box: Once runs the request the next time that the batch process runs. After the batch process runs, the process frequency is automatically set to Don't Run. Always runs the request every time that the batch process runs. Don't Run ignores the request when the batch process runs.
Process Monitor	This button accesses the Process List page, where you can view the status of submitted process requests.

SetID	An identification code that represents a set of control table information or tablesets. A tableset is a group of tables (records) necessary to define an organization’s structure and processing options.
