BUSINESS IMPACT
The issue has the following business impact:
The XML Gateway provides the capability to send or receive the data in XML format. This data is sent or received under pre-defined XML Tags.
If this data is not defined with correct XML Tags, it gets rejected. In this case, the customer's vendor is not receiving the data
with correct XML Tags and is being rejected. That fails to complete the transaction. It means, the customer will not be
able to do his business.
