To begin our meeting, Ben read the email from Carol Rylee regarding identify significant tables and create a list of tables in priority order.  There was still some confusion and we called Carol Rylee for clarification.  Carol stated that we should identify any PS Tables related to the People Soft General Ledger that we would use in the future data warehouse.  We came to the conclusion that we have already identified significant tables with our current assignment to compare UD data to PS panels, records (tables), and fields.  We will review the tables listed in our current assignment as well as all other tables listed in PS General Ledger to complete the assignment of identify significant tables and create a list of tables in priority order.

 

We also did a final review of comparing UD data to PS fields, records (tables) and panels.  Using PS SUV we followed the path for each panel to identify the UD possible match in PS listing any necessary corrections.

 

Dave reported that he looked for a PS manual for “Setting up Tables”, and it does not exist. However, there are books for “Administrators for PS Main Financials”.  Dave will purchase the text book and begin exploring “Setting up Tables” in PS.   Dave is currently using People Books to research PS “Setting up Tables”.  He is also going to check into getting the Original PS SUV software accessible on the web.  He would like to be able to use the original version so that he can actually input information to create the set up tables.

 

Our next Scheduled meeting will be on June 7th.
