This chapter provides an overview of delivery information and discusses how to:
Access delivery information.
Inquire about deliveries.
The pages in the PeopleSoft Purchasing Delivery component enable you to identify the final destination for received goods, as well as view location and ship to information relevant to the delivery of the received goods. The information maintained on these pages exists at the receipt distribution level and originated from either the requisition or the purchase order. Delivery information becomes available only after the item has been received.
Also integrating with the Delivery component is the Mobile Inventory Management application. The application provides tools to integrate mobile devices to the PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management system including mobile deliveries. This enables you to take advantage of the cost savings and efficiency improvements inherent in processes driven by mobile devices.
When stock arrives at the receiving location, remote users can receive it using the Mobile Receiving. After receiving the stock, they can use Mobile Delivery, to record the final destination for delivered items, view location and ship to information relevant to the delivery of the items, and to whom the items were delivered. Delivery information exists at the receipt distribution level and originates from either a requisition or purchase order. The recorded results of deliveries are sent back to the PeopleSoft system using a component interface based on the RECV_DELIVERY component.
The Delivery Inquiry supports deliveries made with mobile devices through PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory Management.
