The PeopleSoft CRM 360-Degree View is a tool to manage customer interactions. You can use this feature as an entry point for all customer interactions, and as the central point to launch all customer transactions, such as quote and order creation, case creation, and opportunity creation.
The 360-Degree View enables the customer service representative to do the following:
Access customer profile information.
Manage transactions.
Record interactions.
View all customer interactions using the 360-Degree View tree.
Integration Between PeopleSoft CRM and Supply Chain Management
When defining the nodes for the 360-Degree View tree, you can define a node that represents invoices for the customer. This node on the 360-Degree View tree is populated by information that resides in PeopleSoft Billing.
Using a defined EIP, the customer service representative can request information from PeopleSoft Billing for invoice information that is associated with a customer. PeopleSoft Billing sends the requested information back to PeopleSoft CRM. To accomplish this:
PeopleSoft CRM sends a request service operation (BI_EIP360_REQ) to Billing for invoices.
PeopleSoft Billing sends a response service operation (BI_EIP360_RSP) back to CRM for the information to display under the 360-Degree View tree.
Users can click invoice links that appear on the 360-Degree View tree to access additional invoice detail in PeopleSoft Billing.
Setting Up PeopleSoft Billing and CRM 360 Degree View Integration
To integrate the PeopleSoft Billing and CRM, perform the following steps:
Enable the queue status.
Activate the service operation.

Note: The node names PSFT_EP and PSFT_CR are used in the following sections as examples only. You might have different default local nodes, for example, the default PeopleSoft CRM local node might be CR880. Use the correct default local node name in each of the following setup steps.
The queue is delivered with a default status of Pause. To enable the queue, change the queue status to Run.
