PeopleSoft integrates to a Marketplace to:
Enable companies to easily register with Marketplaces.
Create requisitions within eProcurement, while viewing catalogs in the Marketplace.
Enable suppliers to send Purchase Order Acknowledgements (POA).
Enable suppliers to send Advanced Shipment Notifications (ASN).
Generate receipts when Advanced Shipment Receipts (ASR) are received.
Enable suppliers to send invoices to the company, if you are using PeopleSoft Payables.
Create vouchers for inbound invoices.

Integration Broker works within the PeopleSoft system to send and receive information to and from external systems, such as the Marketplace. In this case, the job of the Integration Broker is to send and receive documents that come to and from the Marketplace. The purpose of the Integration Broker is to aid in the translation of the xCBL 3.0 documents used by the Marketplace into the PSXML format that the PeopleSoft system recognizes. Integration Broker accomplishes this translation by using a combination of nodes, routings, and service operations.
