Planned: return the cart to the purchasing system.
Many companies start purchasing within a central procurement system. A Punchout workflow should open the appropriate shop and then return the selected items.
Planned procurement through OCI
The cart returns to the procurement system, where the intended order completion continues.

Project planning: agree OCI variant, fields and target system
OCI Punchout is a planned integration target for Agora. This page explains the intended workflow and its prerequisites: target system, company assignment, fields and further cart processing must be defined together.
How it works.
Start in the purchasing system
The intended entry passes the context required for product selection to the shop.
Choose products in Agora
The buyer sees the assigned catalogue and puts together the required items.
Return the cart
The planned return step transfers the agreed cart data to the target system.
Continue processing there
The purchasing system continues its intended procurement workflow. Returning a cart and placing a binding order are considered separately.
A concrete integration target for your procurement workflow.
This presentation describes the planned integration. It provides no ready OCI test login and does not present a customer system as already connected. We define the required exchange with your IT and procurement teams before implementing the connection.
What we configure for your shop.
- Target system
- Which purchasing system and specific OCI requirements should be supported?
- Company context
- How are entry, organisation and the correct catalogue mapped?
- Cart data
- Which product identifiers, quantities, prices and additional fields does the return need?
- Acceptance
- Entry, selection, return and acceptance by the target system are tested as one workflow.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I test OCI in this example?
OCI Punchout is planned. The public page explains the workflow; actual testing requires the agreed target system and an appropriate test environment.
Does returning the cart create an order?
Returning the cart transfers its intended contents. The procurement workflow defines when this becomes a binding order and which system owns it.
Fits your workflow.
How should your shop use this feature?
We develop Agora and use it to build your individual B2B shop. Let us discuss the workflow, configuration and integrations you need.
