General WMS Integration Issues

This section discusses system-wide assumptions about WMS integration.

Integrating PeopleSoft with a third-party WMS enables you to streamline the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay business processes. This streamlining enables you to reduce costs, improve service levels, and generate more revenue.

You can integrate the following products with a WMS:

• PeopleSoft Purchasing.

• PeopleSoft Payables.

• PeopleSoft Order Management.

• PeopleSoft Inventory.
