Catalog Management
Punch-out procurement catalogs are managed and controlled through Corcentric Catalog Management.
Items can be easily imported directly into the catalogs using an Excel template provided by Corcentric. Built-in supplier collaboration tools allow managers to maintain real-time catalog content updating with a dynamic edit validation process.
Access to catalogs
Access to catalogs can be configured in the Corcentric Online Store to provide users with a subset of available catalogs most relevant to their role within the company.

Step 2
Users build shopping carts from approved supplier punch-out catalogs
Step 3
Once selections are made, the shopping cart and purchasing lines can be transferred back to your ERP
Step 4
Workflow approvals, accounting assignment, and additional steps are completed. Simple, right?
