Understanding the Supplier EIP

The Supplier EIP uses application messaging to publish supplier information from the PeopleSoft Payables and Purchasing supplier tables to PeopleSoft Payroll, PeopleSoft Student Administration, and other external systems, as well as to subscribe to supplier information published by Payroll, Student Administration, and external systems. You can also supply XML files directly to the EIP to create or modify suppliers.

The Supplier EIP uses four application messages to subscribe to and publish data in the supplier tables.

Message Name	Function
VENDOR_SYNC	Incremental publish and subscribe.
VENDOR_FULLSYNC	Full-table publish and subscribe.
VENDOR_SYNC_EFF	Incremental publish of current effective-dated data.
VENDOR_FULLSYNC_EFF	Full-table publish of current effective-dated data.

The incremental messages process individual records, whereas the full-table messages process entire tables. To update tables with new supplier records as they are published, select the incremental subscribe process. To load the entire supplier table, select the full-table subscribe process. To publish records as they are created, use the incremental publish process. To publish the entire supplier table, use the full-table publish process.

Note:

The VENDOR_SYNC_EFF message and the VENDOR_FULLSYNC_EFF message should only be used when you publish data to systems that do not support effective dating. These messages publish only the most current supplier record. They do not publish any history or future rows that might exist.

Note:

If you change the value in the Classification field on the Supplier Information - Identifying Information page to HRMS, you must initiate the Full Table publish process for the VENDOR_FULLSYNC application message to update the supplier tables in PeopleSoft Payroll.

Note:

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