XML File for Importing a Sourcing Context
This sample XML file is used to load the sourcing context (in this example, context_x10).
* 
The AXLContext element represents the sourcing contexts that can be used by your organization.

XML File for Importing an Entry in an AML and AVL
This sample XML file is used to load a relationship between an OEM part (in this example, suma_oem_part_1), a manufacturer part (in this example, SUMA_MP_000001) and a vendor part (in this example, SUMA_VP_000001), defined within the sourcing context "context_x10".
