Making Adjustments Using the Inventory Adjustment EIP
Third-party systems can stage stock quantity adjustments to PeopleSoft Inventory using the Inventory Adjustment EIP, an asynchronous service operation. Once the quantity adjustment data has been staged, the Inventory Adjustment process loads it into the system tables.
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 this 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.

The Inventory Adjustment EIP (0410) can be used to integrate to electronic data collection systems, warehouse management systems, PeopleSoft CRM, or as EDI transaction that fulfills X.12 947. This EIP reports adjustments in stock quantity balances to PeopleSoft.
You use the Inventory Adjustment page to enter transaction details. When you save the transaction, PeopleSoft Inventory inserts the information into the transaction log. You then run the Inventory Adjustment process (INPVIADJ), which retrieves information from the transaction log, processes the transaction, and updates the appropriate system tables. If errors occur during the Inventory Adjustment process, use the Inventory Adjustment page to correct the errors and resubmit the transactional data.
The logic for the Inventory Adjustment transactional data is similar to that for the online Adjustments page, with the following exceptions:
ChartField overrides are not permitted.
Conditions that result in a warning when you use the Inventory Adjustments page, such as quantity increases in a suspended location, quantity decreases that result in negative quantity adjustments for restricted or rejected items, or for lots in non-inspection locations, are ignored in the Inventory Adjustments process.
Warning messages displayed on panels are not shown on data collection transactions. If you allow negative quantity adjustments and the Display Warning Messages option is activated, no warning is generated.
Note: Third-party systems can stage stock quantity adjustments to PeopleSoft Inventory using the Inventory Adjustment EIP. Once these adjustments have been staged, the Inventory Adjustment process loads the adjustment data into the system tables.
