Punchout integration with Procure-to-Pay (P2P) systems, also known as Punchout Catalog integration, is a powerful solution that streamlines your procurement process. Fictiv’s Punchout integration connects P2P systems with the Fictiv platform, so that you can access Fictiv directly from your P2P system that supports cXML integrations, such as SAP Ariba, Coupa, and MS Dynamics 365.
Once you have a quote from Fictiv, you can transfer the quote item details (part name, price, quantity, shipping, and tax) from Fictiv to your P2P system with a single click. This lets you create purchase requisitions without the tedious manual copy & paste work required to transfer quote item details into your procurement system.

Common questions:
Why are some processes unavailable?
When setting up Punchout integration with your P2P system, your company decided to restrict this integration to specific processes. For example, your company may choose to only allow the 3D printing process to be used through the integration. If you would like to purchase parts from an unavailable process, you must do so outside of the integration, and pay using a credit card or manually create a requisition request.
Why doesn’t Punchout integration work with customized line items?
Customized quotes are newly available on the Fictiv platform, and we have not yet added Punchout integration support for them yet. Currently, the integration only works for quotes that have been fully configured and quoted on the Fictiv platform, because for custom quotes, the platform is not aware of the line-item-level details of the configuration or price. So, for now you must manually create the purchase request in your procurement system for customized quotes.
