Connect cXML and Unit4

Connecting cXML and Unit4 for a company could enable the transfer of procurement data between platforms, supporting electronic document exchange for purchasing processes. Such a connection could help automate order creation, invoice processing, and data synchronization, reducing manual entry and supporting more accurate financial and operational reporting across both systems.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between cXML and Unit4 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect cXML and Unit4?

A company operating both cXML and Unit4 could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange between procurement processes and enterprise resource planning. If these systems are not connected, staff could be required to manually enter the same purchase order, invoice, or supplier data into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and creating inefficiencies. Without a connection, records may become inconsistent over time, leading to discrepancies between what is ordered, received, and paid for, and making it difficult for managers to rely on up-to-date information when making decisions. The kinds of data that could be exchanged between a procurement-focused protocol like cXML and an ERP system like Unit4 include purchase orders, invoices, supplier details, order confirmations, and payment status updates. The precise data that can be exchanged depends on the capabilities each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each 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 Unit4 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.
