Describing PeopleSoft Human Resources Core Foundation Tables

Types of Tables used to Support PeopleSoft Human Resources Data

The PeopleSoft Human Resources application stores information in various types of
tables. These tables each serve different purposes. They all function as foundation tables
for storing your human resources data. These table types include:

• The Translate table.

• Processing and defaulting tables.

• Control tables.

• Transaction tables.

Student Notes

Properties of Foundation Tables

Prior to entering data in your foundation tables, you should be familiar with the
n l y
properties of these tables and consider the following:

Table Property Consideration

e O
Valid values

U s
You cannot assign job records to your people in the system unless you

I
set up the various foundation tables, which contain essential
employment, job, or person information. You also need to add people

A
in the system and perhaps assign them a job record prior to tracking

O
additional HRMS details for an individual.
Default values

l &
You can enter values in the foundation tables so that when one piece
of data is entered in a field, other fields are automatically populated

a with valid values.

t e rn Additional default values are system defaults, such as the effective

date, which are generally defined in the PeopleSoft Application
Designer.

e In
Processing Certain values that you define in foundation tables allow you to define
system administration and establish rules for managing your

c l information. For example, you select values on the Installation Table

that define how you will process data in your system.

r a Reporting You can print all foundation table entries in a report. For example,

O when organizations define their job codes, they can analyze the data in
a report. Some tables, such as the Establishment table, you set up for
the sole purpose of regulatory reporting in places like France or the
United States.

Role of the Translate Table

The Translate table functions as an all-purpose data dictionary, and comes with a wide
range of information already defined. Values can be added or inactivated as necessary,
but should not be modified or deleted.

As a general rule, translate values share these characteristics:

• The codes allocated to these values are between one and four characters long.

• They are tracked by long and short descriptions of these values.

• They do not need to be updated often.

• They are effective-dated

• No other fields should be related to this field.

Component Used to Enter Translate Values

A I
maintained in the Application Designer, but power users with security access can add
additional translate values to an application through the following component:
