Choosing the Supplier
Select the Supplier
1. On the Start PunchOut page, click on the Supplier you need to order from. This will take you to that website.
2. Add Items needed to your cart. (Note: each PunchOut Request needs to be done by 1 Commodity. Example: If you need to buy a case of Paper and an Office Chair, you will need to do 2 separate requests. That way they will hit the correct Commodity and its corresponding Expense account.)

4. Unit – This is optional. This will be required if a Unit is not defined in RRS. If a Unit is not defined in RRS, Type in the Unit you would like to use. (Example: BX is not in RRS, so I would put in BOX in the Unit field so RRS know how to classify the Unit of BX.)
