Testing a Punchout Connection
EqualLevel sponsors a free, easy-to-use punchout testing tool at https://punchoutcommerce.com/tools/cxml-punchout-tester
OCI punchouts will NOT work here - the tool works only with cXML formatted Punchouts
On the tester page, be sure to fill in the appropriate fields with the values from the Punchout record:
- URL (use the "Punchout Setup" URL from the Punchout admin page):
- For Ariba use: https://www.yourdomain.com/ariba/InboundSetupRequest
- For Equallevel use: https://www.yourdomain.com/equallevel/InboundSetupRequest
- FromIdentity = Punchout Name
- SenderIdentity = Punchout Name
- SharedSecret = Shared Secret
Leave the rest of the fields with the default text in them. Click "Submit" to check your connection.
After you run the tester, you can check your website's Activity Log for details about the connection attempt.
The "Debug" option on the Punchout record will provide more details in the Activity Log. Just be sure to turn that option on only for testing.
