In the Workday eProcurement module, a "punchout" refers to a requester’s action of transferring their shopping cart from a supplier's website to their own procurement system. This process allows requesters to access a supplier's catalog, select items, and build a shopping cart within their eProcurement system. Once the requester is ready to complete their order, they "punchout" back into Workday by submitting the shopping cart, where they can complete and submit the requisition.
Note: An order is not successfully placed on the supplier site until a purchase order has been issued in Workday. You may see the order as being submitted and in-progress on the supplier site (i.e, Amazon), but the order will not be completed until the PO has been issued.
Benefits
- The punch out process allows a requester the convenience of shopping for goods without the need to select a payment pathway. Payments are handled centrally with the University Finance Office, so requesters do not need to submit subsequent invoices to pay for their orders.
- The punch out enables requesters to order goods/supplies easily and quickly. Quotes are not required for this ordering pathway, saving the requester time and effort.
