Before working with the PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory Management pages on a mobile device, you will need to define options for the PeopleTools component interfaces.

A PeopleTools component interface (CI) enables exposure of a PeopleSoft component for synchronous access from another application. Component interfaces can be used to integrate one PeopleSoft application with another PeopleSoft application or with external systems. Component interfaces execute the business logic built into the PeopleSoft component and as a result, they provide a higher level of data validation.

A PeopleTools component interface (CI) has been created for each mobile page to be used on the mobile device. The CI is linked to a PeopleSoft component within the PeopleSoft application, such as PeopleSoft Inventory or PeopleSoft Purchasing. For example, the MIN_NPO_RECV_CI has been created to interface a mobile device with the Receiving component in PeopleSoft Purchasing (Purchasing, Receipts, Add/Update Receipts).

PeopleTools component interfaces can be used to:

  • Find data stored in the PeopleSoft application to display on the mobile device.

  • Create new data in the PeopleSoft application by entering the data on the mobile device.

  • Modify existing data in the PeopleSoft application by updating the data on the mobile device.

  • Delete existing data in the PeopleSoft application using the mobile device.
