Creating Shipping Order Release EIPs
The Shipping Order Release EIP is an outbound asynchronous service operation that provides third-party systems with details of orders that have been released for picking and shipment. This EIP supports integrated implementations in which a third-party system is used to pick, pack, and ship orders. With this EIP, you can publish both XML-based data transactions and flat files. The Shipping Order Release EIP meets X.12 EDI requirements of the 940 − Authority to Ship Customer Order transaction set. You can also use an XML transaction or flat file based on the setup of the Batch Publish Rule.
Order Release Processing in a Third-Party Integration
The sort selections available on the Order Release Group/Order By section of the Setup Fulfillment component or the Order Release Request process page do not control the sequence of the orders in the shipping order release service operation. Order data in the order release transaction sent to the third-party system is separated into logical orders based on breaks in the following sort sequence: business unit, demand source, source business unit, order number, customer ID, ship to ID, address sequence code, carrier ID, and ship via. If the address information for an order is modified before order release, the address fields are added to the sort sequence.
Each logical order has a single order header containing address and shipping information. The Order Release Request process assigns a unique external reference number to the order header. This number is also referenced on each demand line associated with the order header and can be viewed on the Stock Requests inquiry page.
The Shipping Order Release EIP contains detailed information for each line on the order, including details of quantities allocated to specific items and storage locations. Lot detail for lot-allocated demand lines is always provided; however, quantity allocation for push picking plans is provided on an optional basis only.
PeopleSoft delivers the service operations in PeopleSoft Integration Broker with a default status of Inactive. You must activate each service operation before attempting to send or receive data from a third-party source or another PeopleSoft system, such as CRM.
To set up the Shipping Order Release EIP within PeopleSoft Integration Broker and Enterprise Components, use the information in the table below and refer to the setup instruction in the PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management Integrations, "Implementing Integrations" topic, Setting Up Service Operations section.
