PeopleSoft Inventory

After the sourcing routine in PeopleSoft Purchasing identifies an item on a requisition as an inventory item, you can check purchasing availability directly from PeopleSoft Purchasing or create and place a demand on the Inventory Demand Interface table (IN_DEMAND), where PeopleSoft Inventory picks it up. PeopleSoft Inventory then determines whether the demand can be fulfilled.

If it cannot be fulfilled, the demand is sent back to PeopleSoft Purchasing, and a purchase order is generated or the demand is back-ordered. If the demand can be fulfilled, the requested items are assigned to the project ID that you identify on the demand. The fulfilled demand is then placed by means of inventory costing on the Invoice Accounting Distribution table (CM_ACCTG_LINE), where PeopleSoft Project Costing can pick it up and bring it in as a resource transaction with an analysis type of ACT (actual cost).

Use the Inventory Process Request page to pull fulfilled demands into PeopleSoft Project Costing from PeopleSoft Inventory.
