punch out
The process of temporarily leaving Ariba Buyer to access a supplier's online catalog. When you return from the supplier's site, the item(s) you added appear in the shopping cart.
Your company has agreements with suppliers to receive discounts and special prices when you order items from the suppliers PunchOut catalog. If you decide to make changes to any PunchOut items, you must return to the suppliers website to do so, since your changes may affect the discounts or special pricing applied to the final order.
