Peoplesoft HCM 9.2 – Update Image 23 – PUM 23
Oracle has announced a critical and required update for Peoplesoft HCM 9.2 known as Update Image 23 – PUM 23
What is Peoplesoft HCM 9.2 Update Image 23?
PeopleSoft HCM Update Image 23 is be a critical and required update of Peoplesoft HCM 9.2 and will deliver a major product enhancement to expand the U.S. field TAX_CLASS from 1 to 3 characters in length. This enhancement will allow for additional U.S. Tax Class values to be more easily added in the future as they become necessary. This field expansion impacts numerous COBOL and SQR modules as well as online objects (fields, records, pages, etc.), for which modifications will be delivered in Update Image 23. These modifications are required as a consequence of the expansion of the field TAX_CLASS from 1 to 3 characters, and do not constitute changed functionality. This is a required PUM update.
Oracle is scheduled to release PUM Image 23 for PeopleSoft HCM 9.2 on July 28, 2017
Why is Update Image 23 So Important?
This image is a pre-requisite for all future tax updates. In order to run a payroll in 2018, the image will need to be applied. Organizations cannot just apply the tax update but need to be current on the image in order to be compliant for the payrolls in 2018 and for 2017 year-end processing. This will require a larger technical effort to get the application current on the image and additional functional efforts to test all impacted areas. The challenge will be to complete all of the work in the short timeframe prior to year-end in conjunction with all of the other projects and resource obligations within organizations.
The update will also impact the following products: Education & Government, US Federal Payroll, Payroll Interface, Stock Administration, Compensation, and Commitment Accounting.
