Chapter 13_XML Identifiers

As part of the exchange of documents between two business partners, it is necessary to communicate certain information in a commonly agreed upon method. Ag Gateway, the entity that sets standards in the Agricultural e-community, has adopted GLN numbering system as the entity identification (Customer/Buyer, Vendor/Seller) standard. They have also adopted GTN numbering system, also know an AGIIS-Product Identifier, as the product identification standard. Since E-Markets, Cinch Document Exchange products will be routinely used to communicate transactions to partners, Cinch Document Exchange has been enhanced to allow the ability to enter GTN's, GLN's and DUNS identifiers as part of the master records. This chapter describes the changes made to support the setup of these XML Identifiers within Cinch.
