PunchOut Control

The PunchOut Control table allows you to configure the various PunchOut settings and establish required fields for the PunchOut transactions.

The Browser Form Post URL (BRWSR_FRM_PST_URL) field on POCTRL specifies the Advantage URL to which the shopping cart transactions (PunchOutOrderMessage cXML transactions) are posted when a buyer checks out of a PunchOut session. This URL must be the location of the AdvPunchOutServlet servlet that is designed to receive the PunchOutOrderMessage. The URL is typically similar to the regular URL for accessing the Advantage environment. For example, if Advantage is normally accessed from http://fm.entity.com/webapp/vls1/Advantage, then the Browser Form Post URL will typically be http://fm.entity.com/webapp/vls1/AdvPunchOutServlet. PunchOut does not require this URL to be exposed beyond the intranet in which Advantage is available. The shopping cart is posted to this URL directly from the buyer’s (Advantage user’s) browser and not from the supplier website.
