Theone-time vendorfunctionality in SAP Ariba is designed to support ad hoc or infrequent suppliers that do not exist as fully onboarded suppliers in the system. This functionality is primarily used toprocess non-PO invoices, such as one-time reimbursements or supplier invoices without preceding purchase orders.

This process bypasses the formal sourcing and ordering cycle, which is especially useful for occasional service providers or manual payments.

Non-catalog orders, credit memos, and invoice limits are not specific to the one-time vendor setup and are managed through broader procurement and invoicing controls.

“PunchOut catalogs are externally hosted by suppliers and connected to SAP Ariba via cXML. Buyers access the supplier’s PunchOut site from SAP Ariba and select items for purchase.”

“In the Ariba interface, PunchOut items display aBuy From Supplierbutton instead of Add to Cart. Once selected, users are redirected (punched out) to the supplier’s site.”

“PunchOut catalogs are remotely hosted, meaning catalog data resides with the supplier rather than within SAP Ariba.”
