Using POU Supplier EIPs

Four EIPs (service operations in PeopleSoft Integration Broker) are used to exchange data between the PeopleSoft Inventory and the POU supplier systems. They are:

  • Par Location EIP (outbound).

  • Par Location Count EIP (inbound).

  • Internal Location Expected Receipt EIP (outbound).

  • Purchase Order Receipt Notification EIP (outbound).

The following diagram illustrates the data flow between a POU supplier and PeopleSoft, including integration for par location counts, receipts, and internal location expected receipts:

POU supplier integration with a PeopleSoft system

Error management is integral to the effectiveness of inbound EIPs in the PeopleSoft system. In the process of uploading data transactions, the PeopleSoft subscription process detects any data errors and stores them in queues or staging tables for manual correction in the PeopleSoft system before updating any core PeopleSoft application tables.

Each of the inbound EIPs facilitating the subscription of transactions from third-party applications has its own transaction code that must be entered on an assigned data management page to access the EIP's specific error-correction page.

The Par Location Count EIP, which is used in both surgical resource system and POU supplier system integrations, uses the transaction code Par Loc, which is entered on the Transaction Maintenance page. You use the Transaction Maintenance page to access error-correction pages for transactional data.
