Hi,
We are on SRM 5.0, configured extended classic scenario. I would like to send the PO directly from SRM to the third party supplier network. How can we achieve this functionality.
Do we need XI as integration medium to talk between this supplier network. There is output tab in Process purchase order , in that we even have xml as one option. By selecting this option can we get the xml message , without using XI .
Has anybody worked on this before. Please share some input and points on this.
Regards,
Chary
XI is always required(mandatory) , if you want SRM to communicate with suppliers.

that option os 'xml' in the purchase order header level --> specifies --> that the purchase order should go out in the xml form -->
for the purchase order --> to go the supplier --> xi should be installed and working --> and also the flag for output --> at the vendor data master level should be set to --> XI/XML.
so finally --> even if you set the flag --> to xml at the purchase order --> purchase order will not go out to supplier --> unless and untill xi is available.
hope this answers your question..
Hi Chary,
As khan has stated, the option to choose XI as the output in the PO is only to tell the system how you would like the system to process the output.
You would actually need XI or any other 3rd party EDI like GIS, WebMethods to actually map the SAP data to the XML or any other EDI standard formats & to move the data via FTP, HTTP.... I have also seen Business using a Tool called Contivo to Map SAP output to other EDI standard formats.
Cheers,
Akash.
