Open Catalog Interface
Open Catalog Interface (OCI) is the standard format used by SAP SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) when connecting to external punch-out catalogs. A detailed explanation of the standard has been published here [1] for SAP SRM version 4.0.
The OCI format is used to define the field mapping between the supplier's catalog and the SAP SRM shopping cart, to ensure that the data is transferred accurately and completely between source and receiver. This standard is used instead of XML or cXML.
