On the Process Group page, ensure the following boxes are checked:

• Allow Processing: This controls if on-demand processing is enabled, then the user will be able to run certain batch processes from the transaction screens. For example, a user can execute batch processes such as Voucher Post, Journal Generator, and so on from the voucher entry page itself rather than navigating to a different page to run that particular process.
• Use Event Notification: Check the box to allow the ability to use Event Notification.

Source Transaction: indicates a specific system feature from the Receivable or Payable module. For example, the VOUCHER source transaction controls the processing options for the voucher entry function in Payable, while ARPAYWS controls the actions that a user can perform for Payment worksheets in the Receivable module.

In the Source Transaction section, click the Look Up (spy glass) icon and select the Source Transaction, for example: VOUCHER-Voucher Entry.

Process Group: indicates what level of privileges is granted to a user for a selected source transaction. For example, the following options (Process Groups) are related to payment worksheets: ARACTIONA (Do not post), ARACTIONL (Batch standard), ARACTIONN (Batch priority), ARPOST (Post now), ARPOSTGL (Post now through to GL). If the user needs to be able to post the payment worksheets to GL, then selecting the value ARPOSTGL in the Process Group field will provide the needed access.

In the Process Group section, click the Look Up (spy glass) icon and select the following values, clicking the Plus (+) symbol between each entry to open a new row. For example for the Source Transaction VOUCHER - Voucher Entry the following values are listed:

• BUDGET_CHK- Budget Checking
• MATCHING- Matching
• PST_VCHR- All processes through Voucher Post
• PST_VCHRGL- All processes through Journal Generate

Click the Plus (+) symbol by the Source Transaction field to open a new Source Transaction block.

In PeopleSoft Receivables a process group is not associated with a process; it is associated with a posting action. The posting action that is associated with a process group determines which processes to run, and when to run those processes.

The following table shows the process groups, their associated processes and posting actions, and the products that use them.
