PeopleSoft Manufacturing Implementation

PeopleSoft Setup Manager enables you to generate a list of setup tasks for the organization based on the features that you are implementing. The setup tasks include the components that you must set up, listed in the order in which you must enter data into the component tables, and links to the corresponding documentation.

PeopleSoft Manufacturing also provides component interfaces to help you load data from the existing system into PeopleSoft Manufacturing tables. Use the Excel to Component Interface utility with the component interfaces to populate the tables.

This table lists all of the components that have component interfaces:

PeopleSoft Events and Notifications Framework

As your organization processes the continuous stream of transactions within your PeopleSoft system, the events and notifications framework enables you to monitor the transaction flow and alert your organization to any errors, changes, and stalled transactions. The messages generated by the events and notifications framework can notify you of the problem, give you a detailed description of the issue, and provide a link to the PeopleSoft page where you can resolve it. One of the ways to use the events and notifications framework is to create PeopleSoft Queries on one or more PeopleSoft tables, add the alert using the Alert Setup component, and then complete the alert setup steps. This method enables you to monitor data within a PeopleSoft table; for example, searching for stalled transactions, instead of looking at the results of a PeopleSoft process. When the Alerts process (EOEN_ALERT) is run, the PeopleSoft table is queried and the alert messages can be generated. These messages can be routed to the appropriate person (PeopleSoft user or non-PeopleSoft user) using an email, a PeopleSoft worklist entry, an XML message, or the PeopleSoft Notification Dashboard.

For the PeopleSoft Manufacturing application, sample data includes the following PeopleSoft queries that have been setup to work with the events and notifications framework. These queries may require minor modifications to work in your environment. You can also copy and alter these queries to create new alert messages.

Query	Process Name	Process Category	Description
MG_BCT_ERRORS	MG_ALERTS	MG_BCT_ERRORS	Query the BCT staging tables and generate alert messages for the following manufacturing transactions that are in error: 210 Production Pick Plan 220 Completion/Scrap 225 Edit Issue Components 230 Production Kit Issue/Return 240 Actual Hours 250 MFG Replenishment Request 400 Serial Genealogy
MG_BCT_UNPROCESS	MG_ALERTS	MG_BCT_UNPROCESS	Query the BCT staging tables and generate alert messages for the following manufacturing transactions that have not been processed for more than 120 minutes: 210 Production Pick Plan 220 Completion/Scrap 225 Edit Issue Components 230 Production Kit Issue/Return 240 Actual Hours 250 MFG Replenishment Request 400 Serial Genealogy Note: The number of minutes can be changed by modifying the query.
MG_COMP_OVERISSUE	MG_ALERTS	ISS_REPL_COMP_OVERISSUE	Generates alert messages for production IDs and production schedules: With a status of In Process. With component issue method of Issue or Replenish. Any component has an issue quantity greater than 110 percent of the scheduled quantity. Note: The percentage can be changed by modifying the query.
MG_KIT_COMP_OVERISSUE	MG_ALERTS	KIT_COMP_OVERISSUE	Generates alert messages for production IDs and production schedules: With a status of In Process. With component issue method of Kit. Any component has an issue quantity greater than 110 percent of the scheduled quantity. Note: The percentage can be changed by modifying the query.
MG_LATE_PRODUCTION	MG_ALERTS	LATE_PRODUCTION	Generates alert messages for production IDs and production schedules: With a status of Released or In Process. Completed quantity is less than 95 percent of the scheduled quantity and are past due. Note: The percentage can be changed by modifying the query.
