Deferred Processing

What is Deferred processing?
Deferred processing is used speed up the data-entry process.  This means that the system does not validate the data for each field as you  Tab through a page.  You can enter in all the data for your page without unnecessary trips to the  server for data validation. Entered data is validated when:

• You navigate to another page in the component 
• Click the Save button 
• Click the Refresh button (access key: Alt+0) 

If there are any errors in your data, you are notified at this time.

Point to consider -> FieldEdit event will not fire until we press the SAVE button if the deferred processing is ON.


You can select Deferred mode at the following levels:

• Page control 
• Grid
• Page (include subpage and secondary page) 
• Component levels

Next, how to setup this property in Application designer?  To set Deferred mode at the page level:

1. Open the page properties in PeopleSoft Application Designer.

2. On the Use tab, select Allow Deferred Processing

Similarly, we can do for other objects in their properties. For example, below property shows how to do deferred processing for Component-level.
