[WebERP-developers] Looking to incorporate an automotive XML ordering protocol into Web-ERP

[Matt D. <dom...@ne...>]

I began experimenting back in December with enhancing the api classes 
(specifically api_xml-rpc.php and api_stock.php).  My goal is to allow 
webERP to place stocking and special orders to Automotive warehouses and 
receive orders from retailers using the BabelPartXML specification.

Currently there are large automotive warehouses running SAP, AS400 and 
Microsoft solutions using BabelPartXML, but they are cost prohibitive 
for many automotive warehouses and retailers.  By incorporating this 
commonly used protocol into webERP, I believe this functionality would 
allow many of the smaller automotive warehousers and retailers the same 
ease of ordering parts as business with far deeper pockets.

Has anyone attempted to incorporate an XML ordering protocol into webERP 
yet?

The api_xml-rpc routines seem somewhat limited and only provide limited 
functionality to allow webERP to be either a buyer or a seller to other 
businesses.
I would like to contribute, I would appreciate some input on where to 
start.
I have SVN'ed the latest stable code at 
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/web-erp/code/stable4.11

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
