Exporting Consumer Usage Information

With the Consumer Usage EIP, you can send the consumer usage data captured in PeopleSoft Inventory to a third-party consumer billing or cost accounting system. When activated, the Consumer Usage EIP can sent the data to a third-party system when you save your changes on the Consumer Usage or the Consumer Usage Entry pages.

In a healthcare environment, the design of the Consumer Usage EIP assumes that a patient account has already been established in the patient billing system through communication between the patient billing system and the admissions system.

The Consumer Usage EIP is an asynchronous service operation used to send consumer data captured in PeopleSoft Inventory to a third-party consumer management system for billing or costing purposes. Data sent with the Consumer Usage EIP include basic consumer information, such as, item ID, charge code, and quantity used.

PeopleSoft delivers the service operations in PeopleSoft Integration Broker with a default status of Inactive. You must activate each service operation before attempting to send or receive data from a third-party source or another PeopleSoft system, such as CRM.

To set up this EIP within PeopleSoft Integration Broker and Enterprise Components, use the information in the table below and refer to the setup instructions in the PeopleSoft Supply Chain Management Integrations, "Implementing Integrations" topic, Setting Up Service Operations section.
