Adding Items Using the Item Add Component

The Item Add component enables a user to quickly and efficiently add new items to the PeopleSoft item tables and minimizes input error.

When the Item Add component is saved, the new item is:

  • Added to the item tables of the PeopleSoft system production records. This component adds the new item directly to the production tables, not the staging tables.

  • Added to the outbound staging tables if the outbound ITEM_SYNC service operation has been activated. This outbound EIP sends incremental updates to a third-party system as item information is saved on the Item Add component.

The advantage to this component is that the user does not need to have visibility into the setup pages of the configurable item template. The Item Template List ID field controls the fields available for entry and applies default values to the item attributes. At a minimum, the user would have to enter the item ID and item description to create a new item. All other necessary item attributes can come from the configurable item template; however, the user has the ability to change the modifiable fields. Using the Item Add component, a user can add an item to both the SetID level item tables and the business unit level item tables.

When using configurable item templates, the new item must pass all required edits within the item tables in order to be added to the system. Also, additional edits are used to verify that the template list contains all necessary template groups; for example, before the Product Item Attributes template group can be used, the Master Item template group must exist. If any errors occur, the item is not added and an informational error page appears. If the item approval feature is enabled, then item approval is required before the item can be used.
