PeopleSoft Enterprise Supply Chain Management Integration 9.1 PeopleBook

Getting Started with Supply Chain Management Integration

This section discusses supply chain management (SCM) integration documentation and implementations.

Navigating PeopleSoft SCM Integration Documentation

If you are using integration with the PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management (SCM) applications, please refer to this chapter to find the information you need.

PeopleSoft SCM provides powerful integration technology. You can integrate with specific application vendors or share transaction or definitional data directly with suppliers or customers.

We have information organized for functional users and technical implementers on how to set up and use enterprise integration points (EIPs) in PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management.

Integration Implementation

There are no table-loading implementation steps for integrations. In the planning phase of the implementation, take advantage of all PeopleSoft sources of information, including the installation guides, table-loading sequences, data models, and business process maps. A complete list of these resources appears in the preface in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications Fundamentals 9.1 PeopleBook, with information about where to find the most current version of each.
