Catalog
The Item Master catalog, simply referred to as “Catalog” in Workday, is a catalog that contains items that UAMS has a pricing agreement for. It has thousands of clinical and non-clinical products to support healthcare, research, and administrative tasks. The catalog is used heavily for supplies/commodities necessary for daily operations at UAMS.
See QRG – Create a Purchase Requisition Using a Catalog for step-by-step instructions to complete a catalog purchase in Workday.
Punchout Supplier Catalogs
The terms “punchout supplier” and “punchout catalog” refer to a supplier catalog that can be accessed using Workday. A supplier punchout connects you to the website of a supplier, allows you to select desired items, then complete checkout in Workday. Suppliers with a punchout set up in Workday have contracts with UAMS to provide commodities at competitive prices.
See QRG – Create a Purchase Requisition from a Punchout Session for step-by-step instructions to add Punchout items to your cart in Workday.
