It is possible to configure Postman to Chain Multiple Requests together in order to "Pass" Values from an earlier response into the Body of another call.

//Demonstrate a function call to confirm that the response is a 200 Response/ Successful response.
pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});

//All responseses are required to  be converted to JSON in Order to be read, and Passed through as values.
//This is perfermed on an individual call level, but outputting this as a JSON Response in your developer tools will help identify the correct required variable
var responseJson = xml2Json(responseBody);
console.log(responseJson);

//In Order to refer to the JSON Response the Variable must be declared on a Local Request Level.
var responseJson = xml2Json(responseBody);


//Set a Global Variable for Session Information.
//Variables can also be declared on a Environment & Collection level
    //pm.environment.set
    //pm.collection.set

//pm.globals.set("variable_key", "variable_value")
        //variable_value == variable.path.element
        //variable == responseJson['s:Envelope']['s:Body']
        //path == LoginResponse.LoginResult
        //element == AccountID

pm.globals.set("AccountID",responseJson['s:Envelope']['s:Body'].LoginResponse.LoginResult.AccountID); 
pm.globals.set("DistributorID",responseJson['s:Envelope']['s:Body'].LoginResponse.LoginResult.DistributorID); 
pm.globals.set("Expires",responseJson['s:Envelope']['s:Body'].LoginResponse.LoginResult.Expires); 
pm.globals.set("Key",responseJson['s:Envelope']['s:Body'].LoginResponse.LoginResult.Key); 
pm.globals.set("UserID",responseJson['s:Envelope']['s:Body'].LoginResponse.LoginResult.UserID);

Subsequent calls can now use information from the response and output this into subsequent calls
