CIDX & CXML

[Former Member]

We are sending our PO's to ARIBA.

Now we want to use XI to do the job of transmitting our PO's from our R/3 systems to ARIBA supplier network. (IDOC ---> XI ---> Ariba)

I have been asked to use the CIDX - CXML data structure. But I am confused here. Whether in CIDX standard they have CXML? (I visited http://www.cidx.org, but I didnt see a cXML here),

but I see a cXML in (CXML.org).

I am bit confused. Could some one relieve out of this clutch. Thanks.

Thanks Moorthy. We are not sure whether we are are going to use CIDX adapter.

But what I am trying to find here is the Data structure that I need to use on the Receiver Side(ARIBA). To achieve this where should I go and download the DTD for example if it is a commerce XML then I can download cXML from cXML.org,

For CIDX I have no clue? could you please help me. Thanks

Mohan,

For CIDX you will get SAP delivered Business Package. So you will get Schema structure.

service.sap.com will help you on this.

Hi,

As I think , if you use CIDX industry adapter, it will convert the xml into cXML.
