General Implementation Information

If you are implementing PeopleSoft eSettlements as the Business Service Provider model, you must implement the functionality discussed in this topic to process purchase orders and receipts.

If you are implementing PeopleSoft eSettlements using the Buyer Direct model, the information in this topic is not applicable because you implement and use the Buyer Direct model in conjunction with PeopleSoft Purchasing, and use PeopleSoft Purchasing pages to manage purchase order and receipt processing.

Purchase order transactions from third-party products for use in PeopleSoft eSettlements are predicated on the use of XML messaging and the PeopleSoft open integration architecture. Once you register a buyer and a supplier in PeopleSoft eSettlements and establish PeopleSoft Procurement options, integration can occur. The system retrieves XML messages from the third-party product and transmits them for processing by using PeopleSoft Integration Broker. Subscription PeopleCode validates data integrity, controls edits, adds registration defaults, and converts the message into a PeopleSoft transaction. Once the transaction is processed, you can view it in PeopleSoft Purchasing tables.

Note:

Oracle delivers integration points as application messages and as web services. Enabling messaging is discussed in the PeopleTools: Integration Broker.

PeopleSoft eSettlements integrates fully with PeopleSoft eProcurement and can also be implemented with a variety of third-party procurement applications, such as Commerce One or Ariba. In cases in which PeopleSoft eSettlements is not implemented with PeopleSoft eProcurement, you can configure PeopleSoft eSettlements to receive purchase orders from an external system for use in the settlement process.

Note:

You cannot view or process Payables vouchers marked with the Procurement Card (PCard) payment method in PeopleSoft eSettlements.

Note:

Before loading an XML file, you must set up a valid node and channel.

This diagram illustrates purchase order, receipt, and payment data flow into and out of the PeopleSoft eSettlements system.

The specifics of this diagram also apply to the Buyer Direct model.
