Vendor list overview

Processing of cXML purchase orders is handled through use of Infor Process Automation (IPA). At this time, the only cXML-formatted outgoing transaction that Infor supports is the purchase order. Infor does not support the receipt (inbound) of any cXML-formatted transactions other than the Punchout-related documents.

If your business relationship with any vendor requires that you receive any of these, then your choice of document format must be X12 EDI:

  • invoices
  • purchase order acknowledgments
  • shipping notices
  • any other inbound* documents that are related to an outbound** purchase order

*Inbound = received by you.

**Outbound = sent by you.

The X12 EDI format is handled by EDI. We recommend that you do not mix formats, as it prevents any matching that you may do from succeeding. For example, sending a cXML purchase order and receiving an X12 purchase order acknowledgment, invoice.

As specified in this vendor list, Infor delivers generic Punchout transaction sets and cXML PO formats for the listed trading partners. As part of your implementation, you should plan on testing the desired transaction with your specific account setup with your trading partner.

You are not restricted to using the vendors on this list. You can use any vendor that conforms to Infor's implementation of cXML standards for punchout. Contact an Infor client account manager:

  • to request assistance with testing and configuration of a vendor
  • to suggest that a vendor is added to the vendor list

Infor does not maintain content or control policies on vendor sites accessed through Punchout.
