ebXML Implementation Methodology2
Introduction
• We present a sample purchase order scenario to demonstrate the use of ebXML BPSS, CPPA, and Registry specifications.
ebXML Implementation Methodology3
The Purchase Use Case
• International purchase use case, adapted from a CEFACT model of international supply chain– Identify a partner– Negotiate a contract– Order goods– Ship the goods– Make payment
• The goal of ebXML framework is to create e-business solutions that automate the above steps.
ebXML Implementation Methodology4
Observations on the use case
• The following observations help to identify – what you can automate and– How to do so.
• Observation 1: Common business processes exist1. Identify a partner (Step 1 of use case)
2. Negotiate and create a contract (Step 2 of use case)
3. Place order based on contract (Step 3 of use case)
4. Ship merchandise (Step 4 of use case)
5. Pay for merchandise (Step 5 of use case)
6. Archive trade records for auditing by authorities and to settle nonrepudiation of claims by collaboration partners.
ebXML Implementation Methodology5
Observations on the use case
• Observation 2: – Standardized yet customizable business documents in
multiple formats are required– Request for Invoice (RFI), RFQ, Order– ASC X12, EDIFACT, OAGIS Business Object Document
(BOD)
• Observation 3:– Standardized description of collaboration steps is required

Observations on the use case
• Observation 4: – Standardized description of each partners’s profile and the
contract between partners are required
• Observation 5: – Support for intermediaries is required
• Observation 6:– Support for verification of authority constraints is required
• Observation 7:– Standardized protocols for discovery are essential
• Observation 8:– Security is paramount
ebXML Implementation Methodology8
The Move Toward Automation
• Each of the steps can benefit from automation.• Step 3 is of higher priority to business than others
steps• Assumption is therefore made to the automation of
Step 3.
Business contracts that set the business terms of the trade between the customer and supplier, as well as with any intermediaries already exist

ebXML Implementation Methodology10
The ebXML Framework at Work
• A hypothetical scenario– One customer, a retail chain store in the United States, does
business transaction with one supplier, who is selling orchids in India
• Assumptions:– The supplier has been already identified by the customer, and a
business contract is already in place between the partner regarding the economic and legal aspect of the deal.
– The supplier and customer are already aware of the ebXML Registry where the business-process for ordering, shipping, and payment are store.
– The supplier and customer are notified of references to the relevant business-process specifications and profiles in the registry through the exchanged RFQ, RFI, or other means
ebXML Implementation Methodology11
The ebXML Framework at Work
• The transaction process is outlined in the following steps:1. The supplier queries the ebXML registry for the orchid
purchase, orchid ship, and orchid payment process specifications that exist in the registry. The process specification contains business collaboration specified using the ebXML BPSS.
2. The supplier implements services and actions required to support the business collaborations. The supplier may implement new BSIs to facilitate invocation of the services and actions. The services for the role of supplier may be Purchase Service, and actions of this service may be Receive new purchase order, Send Confirmation or Query Status.

The ebXML Framework at Work
3. The supplier creates a profile of the services implemented. To define the profile, the supplier uses the ebXML CPP schema. The supplier’s schema is then registered and stored in the registry.The registry implements the model and interfaces specified in ebXML Registry.
4. The customer looks into ebXML Registry and finds the CPPs of the supplier and any intermediary.

The ebXML Framework at Work
5. The customer starts a negotiation with the supplier for finalizing the technical contract for flowers.– This step matches the supplier and customer CPPs, as
published in the ebXML Registry. The contract covers only technical details required to send and receive interoperable, secure, and reliable message between the customer and supplier to allow invocation of services and actions the supplier and customer implement. These details are embodied in a CPA.
– If intermediaries are involved, the negotiation is also carried out with each intermediary, by customer and supplier, and appropriate CPAs are created.
ebXML Implementation Methodology14
The ebXML Framework at Work
6. Both customer and supplier modify existing BSIs or create new BSIs to satisfy the newly created CPA, if necessary. – The Purchase service is executed using the BSI at each partner.
– For shipping and payment of the money, similar BSIs are created at each partner involved, and appropriate business processes are carried between the customer and supplier through intermediaries.
– The supplier uses a shipping intermediary to ship the orchids to the customer, and the customer makes the payment for the orchids through an intermediary, such as an international trade bank.
