FromSAP Learning Hub – Course: SAP Ariba Procurement: Buying → PunchOut Catalogs and Integration, SAP explains:
“PunchOut catalogs are externally hosted by suppliers and connected to SAP Ariba via cXML. Buyers access the supplier’s PunchOut site from SAP Ariba and select items for purchase.”
“In the Ariba interface, PunchOut items display aBuy From Supplierbutton instead of Add to Cart. Once selected, users are redirected (punched out) to the supplier’s site.”
“PunchOut catalogs are remotely hosted, meaning catalog data resides with the supplier rather than within SAP Ariba.”
