Defining Items and Par Locations for an SRS Application Integration

All item and par location data is set up and maintained in the PeopleSoft system. However, a successful integration with an SRS application depends on understanding how the SRS application uses the fields that you define in the PeopleSoft system.

A charge code and usage tracking method (charge type) are required fields for every par location item that is used with an SRS application. Because the SRS application passes patient usage directly to a patient billing system, these two pieces of information are vital. Both of these fields are a part of the par location definition created in the Par Location Definition component, and they are included in the par location EIP transactions that PeopleSoft Inventory sends to the SRS application.

When you define a par location in PeopleSoft Inventory, the par location ID appears by default in the location field. For the SRS application integration, it is imperative that you do not overwrite this default value. When direct purchase requests are passed to PeopleSoft Purchasing through the Purchase Order Requisition EIP (PURCHASE_REQUISITION_LOAD service operation), the par location ID is used as the location.
