Voucher EIP

PeopleSoft Payroll, Student Administration, and other external systems can process supplier payments, such as payroll deductions, through PeopleSoft Payables using the inbound Voucher EIP. The Voucher EIP uses Application Messaging and the VOUCHER_BUILD message definition to populate the voucher staging tables with the necessary information for building voucher record sets.

Note:

In addition to delivering the inbound VOUCHER_BUILD EIP as an application message, PeopleSoft also delivers it as a web service (Voucher). Enabling web services is discussed in the PeopleTools: Integration Broker.

Note:

Integration Point (IP) and Enterprise Integration Point (EIP) refer to the same functionality. You might see both used interchangeably.

This flowchart illustrates the VOUCHER_BUILD message subscription process.

To view the VOUCHER_BUILD application message definition in detail, see the Enterprise Integration Point Catalog.

PeopleSoft Payroll and Student Administration, as well as third-party applications, publish voucher data to the application message, and PeopleSoft Payables subscribes to it. The subscription process transfers the contents of the message to the inbound voucher staging tables. The Voucher Build process then builds voucher records from the staged data and writes them to the PeopleSoft Payables voucher tables.

If external parties send bad data (for example, an invalid business unit) as part of the message, the subscription process flags the message as being in error. You must intervene manually using the application messaging error correction feature to correct the data before the message can be processed successfully. When you save the message after correcting the data, the message status is automatically set to Reprocess.

The Voucher Build process assigns voucher IDs if they aren't passed by the application message. When the Voucher Build process finishes processing a staged record, the record is deleted from the staging table.

Note:

The subscription process accepts data for new vouchers only. Vouchers that already exist in the PeopleSoft Payables voucher tables must be updated online using the Voucher component or the Voucher Maintenance component.

Note:

You can use the outbound AP_VCHR_MESSAGE_OUT EIP to dispatch voucher and debit memo adjustment voucher information to suppliers.

In addition to delivering the outbound AP_VCHR_MESSAGE_OUT EIP as an application message, PeopleSoft also delivers it as a web service (VoucherOut). Enabling web services is discussed in the PeopleTools: Integration Broker.

Note:

You use the Supplier EIP to transfer supplier information to PeopleSoft Payables from PeopleSoft Payroll, Student Administration, and other external systems.

In addition to delivering the Supplier EIP as application messages, PeopleSoft also delivers it as a web service (Supplier). Enabling web services is discussed in the PeopleTools: Integration Broker.
