Setting Up the Company Car Benefit Plan
To set up the company car benefit plan, use the Benefit Plan Table (BENEFIT_PLAN_TABLE) and Company Car Plan Table (CAR_PLAN_TABLE) components.
This topic discusses how to set up the company car benefit plan.
Note: This topic is required. To implement Administer Company Cars, you must complete the tasks discussed in this topic.
PeopleSoft considers a company car a benefit; therefore, some of the standard benefit plan codes and tables define the company car benefit.
Use the Benefit Plan Table to set up all types of benefits, not just company cars.
