What are the levels of the Punchout catalog solution?
There are 2 levels of punchout catalog:
Level 1 Punchout: Basic Punchout functionality where the buyer punches out to the supplier’s catalog and brings the cart data back into the procurement system. There is no product search capability within the buyer’s system. The buyer must enter the catalog before selecting items.
Level 2 Punchout: Enhances the buyer’s experience by allowing them to search for products from the supplier’s catalog directly from their procurement system. Once they find the desired product, they are then redirected to the Punchout catalog to complete the purchase.
What is the common Punchout catalog process?
There are 6 common steps of the Punchout catalog.
Please note that the punchout process may vary slightly depending on the level of punchout integration.
Step 1: Buyer logs into e-procurement system
The process begins with the buyer logging into their e-procurement system. This is where they manage and initiate procurement activities.
Step 2: The buyer is redirected to the supplier’s e-commerce site
From the e-procurement system, the buyer is seamlessly redirected to the supplier’s e-commerce site. This integration allows for a smooth transition without the need for separate login credentials.
Step 3: Buyer starts browsing and adding items to the cart
Once on the supplier’s e-commerce site, the buyer can browse the catalog, view product details, and add desired items to their shopping cart. This stage involves selecting products that meet their procurement needs.
Step 4: Proceed to checkout, cart contents are transferred to the buyer's e-procurement system
After finalizing the selection of items, the buyer proceeds to the checkout. At this point, the contents of the shopping cart are transferred back to the buyer's e-procurement system.
Step 5: Internal Purchase Requisition (PR) / Purchase Order (PO) generated and approved
Within the e-procurement system, an internal Purchase Requisition (PR) or Purchase Order (PO) is generated based on the cart contents. This PR/PO is then subject to the organization's approval workflow, ensuring that the procurement complies with internal policies and budget constraints. Once approved, the PO data is sent in the appropriate format from the buyer's e-procurement system to the supplier’s e-commerce site.
Step 6: Acknowledgement email sent to buyer and supplier team
Finally, an acknowledgment email is sent to both the buyer and the supplier team, confirming the receipt and processing of the order. This communication ensures that all parties are informed about the status of the procurement, facilitating transparency and coordination

- Real-time data integration: The catalog should provide real-time updates on product availability, pricing, and stock levels.
- Customization: The ability to tailor the catalog interface, pricing, and content to suit the buyer’s needs and requirements.
The buyer and supplier must work together to create a catalog that meets the buyer's purchasing needs. The supplier builds and hosts this catalog on their e-commerce website, designed specifically for integration with the buyer’s procurement platform.
Here's how the buyer and supplier collaborate:
- Requirement gathering: The buyer outlines their specific procurement requirements, including product categories, pricing structures, and any contract terms that need to be reflected in the Punchout catalog. The supplier needs to understand the buyer's preferences and procurement policies to build a suitable catalog.
- Catalog customization: The supplier builds a customized catalog on their e-commerce website. This catalog is specifically designed for Punchout, showing only the products, pricing, and availability negotiated in the buyer’s contract. The supplier ensures that the catalog can integrate with the buyer's procurement system through a compatible Punchout protocol (like cXML or OCI).
- Testing and integration: Both the buyer and supplier test the Punchout integration to ensure that when the buyer "punches out," they can browse, select, and transfer items to their internal procurement system seamlessly.
