Using the Punchout task

When enabled, the Punchout task gives requesters access to external vendors, enables them to shop for items, and return selections to a Lawson requisition.

The Punchout task requires the purchase of Lawson Procurement Punchout.

Punchout tasks are based on agreements between your company and the Punchout vendor. Therefore, you may not be able to make certain changes to punchout requisitions, depending on these agreements.

You must enable a task using Requesters (RQ04.1) or Company (IC01.1). You can enable a task for a requester but not the company, providing the requester access to the task when no one else in the company has access.

Note: Items added from Punchout are on a separate requisition from items created from Express Order, Templates, Search Catalog, Categories, and Special/Service.

See Punchout task.

Complete these steps to create requisitions using the Punchout task:

  1. On the Find/Shop menu, click Punchout.
  2. Click a vendor icon to transfer to that vendor's website.
  3. Search for or select an item.
  4. Add the item to the vendor site requisition.
  5. Perform the checkout process at the vendor site.

    When you complete the checkout process, the item is added to the Lawson requisition.
