Configuring Collaboration Agreements
Business-to-business e-commerce companies use collaboration agreements to manage automated transactions among business partners. Through these agreements, trading partners agree on various aspects of their interactions, such as the methods and protocols they will use to send and receive messages.
This section explains how to create and manage collaboration agreements. It includes the following topics:
For more information about collaboration agreements, see Introducing B2B Integration.
Creating a Collaboration Agreement
To create a collaboration agreement:
