It is pretty simple if you use custom properties of test case.
Change below from
&lt;DocumentItemID DocumentItemTypeCode="" SendingComponentID="" LogicalSystemID=""&gt; 
to
&lt;DocumentItemID DocumentItemTypeCode="${#TestCase#TYPE_CODE}" SendingComponentID="${#TestCase#COMPONENT_ID}" LogicalSystemID="${#TestCase#SYSTEM_ID}"&gt; 
Define test case level custom properties
TYPE_CODE
COMPONENT_ID
SYSTEM_ID
and respective values.
Please refer documentation for the same

Hi Himanshu,&nbsp;Thank you very much for your quick response.&nbsp;I'm very new to Groovy and even looking for proper training too.I tried the below logic but not able to traverse till "DocumentItemTypeCode" but i'm able to set value to "DocumentItemID" level.&nbsp;import static java.util.UUID.randomUUIDimport com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolderdef transactionID = "${java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString().replaceAll('-','')}"def reqOrder = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.testCases["Order"].testSteps["OrderItem"].getPropertyValue("Request")def xmlOrder = new XmlHolder(reqOrder)xmlOrder.setNodeValue("//inb:OrderItemMessageBulk/OrderItems/OrderItem/DocumentItemID", transactionID)xmlOrder.setNodeValue("//inb:OrderItemMessageBulk/OrderItems/OrderItem/DocumentItemID('DocumentItemTypeCode'))", "GENO")def xmlOrderNew = xmlOrder.getXml()&nbsp;Kindly provide me a bit detail logic like what libraries to import and what syntax to be written because once i'm done with traverse till "DocumentItemTypeCode" then only i can be able to complete my work.&nbsp;Regards,Ramana.

Hi Rao,&nbsp;Thanks for your quick response.&nbsp;Actually i can't do this because i want to use these properties to automate the test cases. So again passing values inside groovy script for each property will be like double work.&nbsp;actually i tried without Groovy script initially but i'm facing issues in common property passed across test cases.&nbsp;ex: I have a TestCase Order which has DocumentID field with dynamic value created using formula "${=UUID.randomUUID().toString().replaceAll('-','')}" and the same "DocumentID" i need to pass to the next TestCase Fulfillment automatically in "OriginalItemID" field which i'm not able to pass it from Order to Fulfillment using property Transfer.&nbsp;Kindly guide me how can i pass a field value across TestCases in same TestSuite.&nbsp;Or Kindly help e with Groovy script in case not possible without script.&nbsp;Regards,Ramana.

Thumb rule is that each and every test case should be independent.Reorganize the tests so that they can be executed without dependency.
