Storage Location Transfers (Inventory Status Updates)

To notify PeopleSoft Inventory of material transfers between material storage locations, the WMS generates inventory transfer data using the Inventory Transfer EIP. In a typical WMS integration in which quantity balances are tracked only at the business unit level in the PeopleSoft system, the inventory transfer data sent to the PeopleSoft system change the status of the stock to Open or Hold. In PeopleSoft Inventory, two storage locations are defined in the PHYSICAL_INV table: one for quantity with an Open status and another for quantity with a Hold status. Inventory status change transactions originating from the WMS must be translated to map to the EIP by identifying the Open and Hold locations that are used in the PeopleSoft system.
