The pub.ariba.supplier.docstore folder contains services to save, retrieve, and remove OrderRequest messages from the persistent store.

If you have OrderRequest message store enabled, you do not have to explicitly store the orders; this is done automatically for you by the WmAribaSupplier package.

However, you may need to use the services to remove the order from the persistence store (that is, if you are finished with the order and do not want it to consume storage space), or if you want to retrieve the order from persistence.

The pub.ariba.supplier.docstore folder also contains a set of service specifications to implement a custom OrderRequest storage facility, if you are not using Trading Networks or if you do not want to use the default OrderRequest store.
