PunchOut (also known as Supplier PunchOut) is a technology designed to facilitate online
procurement by simplifying item selection and ordering. WorkPlace PunchOut/cXML
is based on cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language), the industry
standard for PunchOut that ensures real-time compatibility with all cXML-compliant vendors.
WorkPlace PunchOut/cXML enables a requisitioner to select items for purchase directly
from a vendor’s website.
WorkPlace users select the PunchOut vendor with a single
click from the WorkPlace Requisition page to be taken directly to the customer specific
site. All browsing, shopping, real-time inventory availability and pricing are
done from the vendor’s website and their catalog. After shopping the site, when
the user checks out, all of the items are populated as requisition line items in
WorkPlace to complete the process of account code distribution, shipping information,
approving and creating purchase orders. Once the purchase order is created, it will
be automatically sent to the vendor via cXML to complete the transaction.
Requisitioners can shop multiple vendors' online catalogs, and online purchases honor all
existing approval processes.
