External catalog setup using the cXML protocol handler for PunchOut

Views (1338)
Lachlan Profile Picture Lachlan Microsoft Employee

The external catalog in AX is the set of parameters that you configured to configure the punchOut for the vendors site. In the catalog you specify details like the URL that you will use to establish an request and identity information supplied by the vendor to allow you to log into the site.

As well you specify the protocol handler which is an internal class that is used to interpret and translate the cXML between you procurement system and the vendors system. In this example we are setting up the parameters for the cXML punchOut protocol handler for AX2012.

As you will see in the video we explain the different parameters and what you need to configure. You can also reference these in the cXML user guides and also work with your supplier as they each might use the fields slightly differently.

 

Here is a table of the properties and how you would configure them.
