Punchout order submitted under the wrong vendor

Overview

If a PunchOut order is submitted under the wrong supplier, it's likely caused by having multiple supplier tabs open at the same time. The order cannot be edited β€” it must be cancelled and resubmitted.

The Issue

A user submits a PunchOut order, but the order appears under the wrong supplier (e.g., an Amazon order shows up attributed to a different PunchOut vendor). The order may also be automatically cancelled as a result of this mismatch.

Why This Happens

PunchOut works by opening a secure session between Procurify and the supplier's website. When a user has multiple supplier tabs or windows open at the same time, the system can mix up the data being passed back and forth between sessions β€” causing cart details or vendor information to be assigned to the wrong order.


Resolution Steps

To prevent this from happening:

  1. Only have one supplier PunchOut window or tab open at a time.

  2. Complete your shopping with one supplier and fully submit the cart back to Procurify before opening a new PunchOut session with another supplier.

If this has already occurred:

  1. The affected order cannot be edited to correct the vendor or line item details once it has been cancelled.

  2. The user will need to cancel the incorrect order and submit a new Order Request through the correct PunchOut supplier.

πŸ’‘ Best Practice: Finish shopping with one supplier before starting with another. Think of each PunchOut session like a checkout lane β€” you need to complete one transaction before starting a new one to avoid mix-ups.
