Hi Sebastian!

I cannot help with any specific information about Amazon Business, but in IFS Cloud we have support for punchout catalogs based on the OCI and cXML standards. We have not verified it specifically with Amazon Business though. 

How a normal punchout solution works is that you navigate from your procurement system (in this case IFS) to the suppliers webshop, you select products from their catalog and then instead of the normal check out, the shopping cart is transferred to IFS generating purchase requisitions is IFS. At this stage no order is created on the suppliers side. The requisition is then processed as any other requisition including authorizations and then orders are sent through the regular channels.

Hope this information was useful.

Thanks Henrik for useful information!

Hello  ​@SeW. Having the same request from one of my customer, have you succeeded to activate punch-out from IFS Cloud to Amazon Business ? It seems they rely on cXML or OCI protocol we do use, but IFS are not referenced in their customer portal.

Hey Bertrand,

unfortunately, we freeze this topic since we are fully occupied with the IFS Go-Live itself. Based on that I cannot help you with details, sorry.

best regards

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian. I’ll investigate with my customer’s account manager at Amazon Business and let you know.
