Connect cXML and OrderActive

Connecting cXML and OrderActive for a company would involve enabling the transfer of procurement or order data between the two systems. This could support automated document exchange, such as purchase orders or invoices, and help reduce manual entry. Integration could improve data consistency and streamline operations across procurement and order management processes.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between cXML and OrderActive around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect cXML and OrderActive?

A company operating both cXML and OrderActive could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more accurate and timely data exchange. Without such a connection, teams might need to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes unnecessary time. Manual processes can also result in records that do not match between systems, making it difficult to trust the information used for business decisions. For example, a purchase order updated in one system but not the other could lead to confusion about order status, incorrect inventory levels, or payment delays. Companies could want to exchange data such as purchase orders, invoices, acknowledgments, and shipping notices, as these are core to procurement and order management workflows. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what cXML and OrderActive make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
