RE: [Supplierconnect-user] Distributor - Manufacturer electronic exchange

Distributor - Manufacturer electronic exchangeHi Mani,

SupplierConnect is a framework suitable for receiving and processing XML
messages of any kind.  The sample configuration was built to receive cXML
Purchase Orders from the Ariba Supplier Network.  SupplierConnect can be
configured to parse, transform and integrate those purchase orders with
internal systems.  SupplierConnect can be used to handle any type of
business document however.

I'm not familiar with cXML or eBIS-XML documents that are specific for
supplier-manufacturer interaction or distributor-manufacturer interaction,
however if they exist then SupplierConnect could be used to send and receive
them, by any number of methods (i.e. Web services, HTTP, email).  Any schema
of XML can be used, if there isn't a cXML or eBIS-XML document that fits the
purpose.

This week I uploaded a page outlining how to customise and extend
SupplierConnect for your own purposes:
http://supplierconnect.sourceforge.net/custom.html.  Perhaps if you can
explain the specific type of document you want to transmit to business
partners, and their technical capabilities, I can talk more about how
SupplierConnect might be useful.

cheers,
Evan.

  Hi all,
  sorry, if this is a trivial question. Can i use
  SupplierConnect for Distributor - Manufacturer
  integration ?
  How does the business document (cXML or eBIS-XML)
  defer between the Supplier - Manufacturer interaction
  and the Distributor - Manufacturer interaction ?
