Vendor Punchout Catalog

Overview

Microix punchout utilizes cXML integration standard. The end user from the buying organization initiates a punch out requests from Microix requisition application and enters the supplier’s web-based catalog. The end user adds items to their shopping cart while both applications maintain their connections. When the end user is ready to check out, the shopping cart with the selected items is returned to Microix requisition application. The end user does not go through a typically business-to-consumer (B2C) checkout process. After receiving the shopping cart, a requisition is generated in Microix and is routed through the organization for financial approval. Once the order is approved, a purchase order is generated from Microix and sent to the supplier to fulfill.

When completed, user will click on a button called "Punchout" or "Submit to Procurement System" to complete the process and return the shopping cart to Microix.

3. After Microix receives the shopping cart from the vendor a requisition will be created and user will navigate to My Document list to open and review before submitting for approval. After final approval, the purchase order will be available for the employee or purchasing department to submit electronically to the vendor via the ribbon menu "Submit Order to Vendor"
