Setting up a Dell Test Punchout site

  1. Access Punchout Template (ED45).
  2. Complete these steps to create a record.
    1. Specify a unique name in the Template Name field. For example, specify DellTemplate.
    2. Leave the Client field blank.
    3. Specify the proper values in the Prodline, Vendor, and Purch Fr Loc fields.
    4. Add the record.
      Note: If the punchout-enabled vendor is a content aggregator, which means multiple vendor's items can be shopped for, then leave the Vendor field blank. This information is provided manually after shopping has finished and the items are in RQC.
  3. Access Punchout User Group (ED41).
  4. Complete these steps to create an entry.
    1. In the User Group Name field, specify DellPunchout.
    2. In the Icon field, specify ../images/DellPunchout.jpg.
    3. Leave the Url field blank.
    4. Add the record.
  5. In the Punchout Users (ED43) program, associate at least one requester with this Punchout User Group record.
    1. In the User Group Name field, specify DellPunchout.
    2. In the User Name field, select a valid user name from your organization.
    3. In the Requester field, specify the requester ID of the user that you specified in the previous step.
    4. In the Template Name field, specify DellTemplate.
    5. Add the record.
  6. Locate the punchout_config.xml file.
    Note: You can find this file in the $LAWDIR/system directory or in the assembly area where the Infor Lawson Requisition Center configuration file is also located. The punchout_config.xml contains templates for certain select vendors.
    1. Using a text editor, open the punchout_config.xml file.
    2. In the <buyingOrg> section, copy and paste the content into the RQC configuration file $LAWDIR/system/rqc_config.xml, between the <punchout></punchout> tags.
    3. Locate the <vendor> section where the name= attribute contains DellPunchout in the punchout_config.xml file.
    4. Copy the entire <vendor> section for DellPunchout from the punchout_config.xml file into your rqc_config.xml file. Copy it after the <buyingOrg> section that you have inserted.
  7. Complete the <buyingOrg> configuration section.
    Note: This section describes who you are to the vendor and some system configuration information.

    You can use the DellPunchout configuration as delivered. The values contained in the DellPunchout configuration are for Dell's TEST PUNCHOUT SITE. If and when you want to punchout to Dell, you should first call your Dell representative and discuss the process Dell to enable you to punchout to them in a live, production manner. They build a website with your items and prices, then they provide you with a new set of authentication credentials and possibly a different URL to which to punchout. But as delivered, the DellPunchout configuration is a useful way to test if your Punchout installation and configuration is correct and operational.

    1. After making edits to the rqc_config.xml file, re-load it by using the RQC utility menu. Use the direct URL: http://<yourLWSNserver>:<port>/rqc/html/utility.htm.

      If you cannot locate the punchout_config.xml file to get the <buyingOrg> or <vendor name="DellPunchout"> sections, then use this:
