Receive orders from different cXML customers and define your own data format for our REST API. Note: This feature is currently only available to select customers under our Enterprise contracts.

Order profile creation

Order profiles are the core of our order module. Here you have the possibility to define your own data model and to make it available via a REST API. An order profile can be assigned to one or more customers.

To do this, first switch to the Order profiles area and click on "Create new order profile" there. Now you have you can assign a name to your profile and upload a cXML file of the type "OrderRequest".

In the next step you create a data model for your order profile. For each new order profile we create a generate a proposal based on the cXML data model.

Transmission of orders from third party systems

Procurement systems such as Ariba® or Coupa can be configured so that new purchase orders from your customers are sent as cXML-OrderRequest automatically to the address below. The address is identical for all your customers and uses the normal authentication of the cXML standard.

https://<instance>.enterprise.punchcommerce.com/api/v1/orders/cxml

The endpoint expects a cXML OrderRequest document as specified in chapter 7 of the cXML Reference Guide.

Important: Receiving orders is only possible for customers to whom you have assigned an order profile. Orders for unknown customers, or customers without a profile, will be automatically rejected and will not be available for not available for processing via our API.
