About This Document:

This document details how to create a Punchout Order in Prendio. A Punchout Order is the most automated method to place an order from Prendio. Clicking on a Supplier Punchout icon on the Prendio Dashboard takes the Requester from the Prendio website to the Supplier's website. Items can then be added to your Supplier Cart and when the Requester checks out, a new Cart is created in Prendio.

When your Punchout Order is submitted it will go directly to the Supplier if the Total for that cart is below a Tolerance set in Prendio.

Admin > General > Tolerances:

In this example, if the Punchout Order is less than 100.00 it will go directly to the Supplier. If it is over this amount it will go to the BioProcure Buyer for review.

Note: Tolerances is also available in AP Management > General Tolerances.
