Understanding Integration in PeopleSoft General Ledger
PeopleSoft General Ledger is typically the repository of your accounting information. It receives data from other PeopleSoft applications, such as PeopleSoft Payables, PeopleSoft Project Costing, PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) Payroll, PeopleSoft Learning Solutions, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management, as well as third-party applications. These are referred to as feeder or subsystem applications.
You can also load data such as journal and ledger file imports directly into General Ledger. General Ledger can also export data, such as ledgers, and publish and subscribe data for consolidation.
In addition to flat file imports, the General Ledger interface uses Integration Points (IPs) to publish and subscribe data and web services to expose services and service operations for applications that do not share the Financials database.
Note: Review the topic titled Backporting Integration Metadata in the PeopleTools Integration Broker documentation. The backporting utility enables you to backport PeopleTools message queues to message channels used in previous PeopleTools releases. It also enables you to backport PeopleTools handlers to integration PeopleCode constructs used in previous PeopleTools releases.
