Punchout Vendor Setup

Modified on Tue, Apr 8 at 10:44 AM

SOMAX Punchout is available to those clients that have the SOMAX Procurement Module. SOMAX Punchout allows you to create Purchase Request and Punchout to the Vendors Website to retrieve part prices and return the parts and prices to the SOMAX Purchase Request to create Line Items. 


Click for Punchout Overview

Click for Part Auto Match setup

Click for Create Punchout Purchase Request

Click for Vendor Punchout Setup Form


After getting SOMAX to enable your site for Punchout you will need to get the following information from your Vendor.


  1. Confirm that your Vendor does Punchout
  2. Get the information shown below in the Vendor Setup from your Vendor
  3. Complete the Vendor setup in SOMAX
    1. Select the Vendor you want to setup for Punchout
    2. From the Action Menu Select Punchout Configuration

Note: This will only be available if you have contacted SOMAX and had Punchout setup for your site



3. Select the Use Punch Out Checkbox

4. Select the correct Vendor (To) Domain Network Id and DUNS are the available options

5. Enter the Vendor (To) Identity supplied by your Vendor

6. Enter the Shared Secret supplied by your Vendor

7. Select the correct Vendor (From) Domain Network Id and DUNS are the available options

8. Enter the Vendor (From) Identity supplied by your Vendor

9. Enter the Punchout URL supplied by your Vendor

    10. Click Save


Note: Do Not Check Automatically Send Punchout Purchase Order to Vendor when PO is created unless you have verified this functionality with SOMAX and your Vendor. This is a completely separate process from punching out to retrieve part prices and many Vendors do not have the functionality.
