Static Information Updates in a WMS Integration

This section discusses:

• Customer data.

• Supplier data.

• Item data.

• Carrier and shipping method data.

• Location data.

Static information includes data about customers, suppliers, items, carriers, and locations. In a WMS integration, all static information is maintained in the PeopleSoft system and update information is sent to the WMS as necessary. If a change is made to any part of the static information in the PeopleSoft system, even to a field that does not exist on the outbound message, information indicating a change event is sent to the WMS.

Process Flow Static Information Transfers in a WMS Integration

The following diagram shows the process flow for static information transfers between a WMS and PeopleSoft, including customer, supplier, item, carrier, shipping method, and location table data:

The following diagram shows the process flow .

The EIPs that support the static information updates in a WMS integration are based on a number of assumptions. The following sections detail these assumptions for each static data type.
