PunchOut Web Shopping - POUPPP

POUPPP lists all active PunchOut Vendors as defined on POXPVS. Click the SHOP link to launch a new window to the vendor web site. This action is called PunchOut.

When the user checks out of the Vendor web page, a copy of the items requested is sent back to BusinessPlus. This action prompts the system to create a new PR in the BusinessPlus purchasing system.

The PR may now be budget checked and approved as a normal Requisition in BusinessPlus. When the Requisition is printed, a Workflow model sends cXML to the Vendor, initiating the Purchase Order. This action is the PunchOutOrderRequest generally referred to as the Order Request or Purchase Order.

The vendor request and response information can be captured as follows to track and troubleshoot or debug any issues.

• In the POXP/CONTROL common code, enter CAPTURE in Associated Code 5 to write the below xml files to the C:\temp directory. The 7i web servers and the Workflow server must have a c:\temp directory for the CAPTURE option to work.

  • SetupUrl.xml

  • POSR.xml

  • Handshake_Response.xml

  • Vendor_Response.xml

If the above files are not listed in the C:\temp folder, navigate to BTMQ logs and review if one of the following errors are listed:

• [ERROR] LegacyPunchoutController::PunchoutSend:: POSR:: Access to the path 'C:\temp\POSR.xml' is denied.

• [ERROR] LegacyPunchoutController::PunchoutSend:: SetupUrl:: Access to the path 'C:\temp\SetupUrl.xml' is denied.

• [ERROR] LegacyPunchoutController::PunchoutSend:: Handshake_Response:: Access to the path 'C:\temp\Handshake_Response.xml' is denied.

To fix these errors, navigate to the C:\ drive, right-click on the temp folder and select Properties. Select the Security tab and provide Full control access for users.
