>> *On boarding new customers with Pearson Punchout*

>> PunchOut enables our customers with procurement applications to access

>> our products directly from within their application. Buyers shop in the

>> Pearson website while still appearing as if they are in their own site.

>> Once shopping is complete, the buyer will ‘Checkout’. This brings their

>> cart information into their procurement system, allowing it to move on for

>> further approval.

>> From here, the procurement application can create one or more purchase

>> orders. Pearson can receive these purchase orders via an ‘Order Request’.

>> Pearson sends an acknowledgement email to the buyer and then processes the

>> order(s).

>> The purpose of this project is to bring new customers onboard with

>> Pearson Pucnhout. It requires understating the customers procurement system

>> and how with minimal changes we can use Pearson’s existing Punch-out and

>> Order Request. This is an ongoing project to leverage existing features and

>> verification that the changes of one customer is not impacting the existing

>> customers usability.

>> Have experience with SciQuest, PeopleSoft, Ketera, Coupa vendors. Also on

>> boarded a customer who sends the pdf request.

>> PunchOut implementation enables customers to interact directly with

>> system to create a requisition. Upon approval, the purchase order can be

>> dispatched electronically directly to Pearson. This was an implementation

>> to support PunchOut transactions as they are defined by cXML version 1.2

>> (commerce eXtensible Markup Language). cXML is a well-defined, robust

>> language designed specifically for B2B e-commerce.

>> Three components of PunchOut are PunchOut Setup Request, PunchOut Setup

>> Response and PunchOutOrder Message.

>> *I. PunchOut Setup Request*

>> To initiate the PunchOut session, the user selects the supplier (Pearson)

>> option. The procurement application generates a PunchOut Setup

>> Request and sends it to a Pearson specified location.

>> *II. PunchOut Setup Response*

>> After receiving a PunchOutSetupRequest, the Pearson website sends a

>> PunchOutSetupResponse.

>> The response shall communicate:

>> PunchOutSetupRequest status (successful or unsuccessful).

>> It provides the procurement application with a redirect URL to

>> the Pearson start page.

>> *III. PunchOut Order Message*

>> After the customer selected items have been priced, the customer selects

>> the ‘Checkout’ button. Pearson website then sends a PunchOutOrder

>> Message to the procurement application which contains contents of the

>> shopping basket.

>> Purchase Orders

>> The procurement application sends purchase orders. This may or may not

>> be triggered after an approval process. When the procurement

>> application sends the order, it is in the form of the cXML ‘Order

>> Request Message’.

>> The response is part of the synchronous Request-Response transaction. It

>> communicates that the message has been received and it is a success or not

>> a success.
