Providing Item Availability Checks to Third-Party Systems
The Product Availability request/response business interlink (PSPRODAVAIL) enables a requesting third-party or another PeopleSoft database to confirm the current available quantity for an item, view the cumulative available-to-promise (ATP) quantity for future dates, and view future demand and supply information for the item. This business interlink can be integrated with the PeopleSoft CRM Order Capture database.
To set up a business interlink, use PeopleTools to:
Enter the correct merchant URL on the Business Interlink definition.
Enter the correct user id/password on the Business Interlink definition. This user id /password should be the same as the user id/password defined for the web profile.
Product Availability Integration Point
The Product Availability EIP is an outbound synchronous service operation that contains an unstructured message used to synchronously call the ProductAvailability XMLLink.
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 instructions in the PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management Integrations, "Implementing Integrations", Setting Up Service Operations section.
