IBX xCBL 3.5 OrderResponse specification

IBX Suppliers reply on Purchase Orders generating OrderResponse documents using IBX Supplier Order Management (SOM), IBX Mail Order Response (MOR) or any other Order Management solution connected to the IBX Business Network. OrderResponses are routed as XML files via the IBX Connect platform to reach buyers in various formats. IBX Connect's canonical format is based on xCBL 3.5. The best way to describe IBX' canonical OrderResponse format is with help of an XML schema definition (XSD) file. This is both available for download and documented in detail below.


IBX xCBL 3.5 OrderResponse

IBX` canonical OrderResponse format is a slightly modified version of the standard xCBL 3.5 OrderResponse reflecting common Procure-To-Pay services provided by the IBX Business Network. Not all xCBL elements are supported and some originally optional fields are mandatory. Customer specific content and hence usage of particular fields can occur depending on the customer's setup and needs.
