I guess it depends on what exactly you are trying to do.  You want to
enter a purchase order on one, and invoice on the other?  Are the
instances on the same server?  If yes on both, then XML is probably
the wrong technology to use (I would probably just have a script that
would look up purchase orders on one system using Perl and then insert
them in the other.)  Pair this with listen/notify and it will happen
real-time.  Simple integration of this sort should be reasonably
straight-forward.
