How It Works

Coupa will send you an OrderResponse cXML document with an OrderResponse document, which includes these required validation fields:

• Supplier domain
• Supplier identity
• Buyer domain
• Buyer identity
• Shared Secret

Supported cXML

Coupa supports the following cXML purchase order documents. Suppliers must return an OrderResponse within 60 seconds for every OrderRequest received.

Testing Checklist

Talk to your customer about how to test your integration.

OrderResponse

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cXML payloadID="111111111" xml:lang="en" timestamp="1999-03-12T18:39:09-08:00">

Error Handling

If you're getting an error when trying to set up a cXML connection, see cXML Error Handling. 

Coupa does not support SSL client certificate authentication and requires the supplier to remove this restriction. See TLS/SSL Errors during PO Transmission for more info.
