How to choose the Bill-To Contact and Point of Contact
When you set up a VWR PunchOut group, you choose who appears as the Bill-To Contact and the Point of Contact on PunchOut orders sent through that group.
How do I choose the Bill-To Contact for PunchOut orders sent through this group?
Option | Result |
Final Approver (default) | The final approver of the order request |
Requester | The user who submitted the order request |
A Specific User | Any individual user selected during group setup |
Accounts Payable | Uses "Accounts Payable" as the contact name, paired with the email on file for the order's Location. If the Location has no email set, the Final Approver's name and email are used instead. |
How do I choose the Point of Contact for PunchOut orders sent through this group?
Option | Result |
Final Approver (default) | The final approver of the order request |
Requester | The user who submitted the order request |
A Specific User | Any individual user selected during group setup |
What isn't changing: the Final Approver is still recorded as the Purchaser on the Purchase Order, and the Ship-To Contact stays as the Requester.
