ABAP XML Processing

Question

Hello,
We are planning to setup our SAP system to generate XML messages (from ABAP transaction/program).  Then it will send this XML message in our counterparts outside our network (i.e. HQ) which is not necessarily using an SAP system.  Then it will send back a response XML message to our SAP system with data that we need to save and process in our database.  We are only using SAP R3 Enterprise 4.7.  My question is, Is this setup is achievable in our current release of SAP?  What other options do we have?  Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Tony
