Catalog, Punchout, and Non-Catalog Purchase Requisitions

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. 

See the table below for a list of punchout catalogs available on Workday.

Non-Catalog 

A non-catalog purchase requisition is used for two purchase types: 

  1. Purchase of services. 
  2. Purchase of goods that are not available in the Item Master Catalog or any of the Punchout supplier catalogs. 

See QRG – Create a Purchase Requisition for a Non-Catalog Item for step-by-step instructions to complete a non-catalog purchase. 

Read Help Page – Competitive Bid Quote, Purchases $20,000 – $75,000 and Help Page – Sealed Bid, Purchases Over $75,000 before creating a non-catalog requisition to determine if there are any additional requirements indicated for your intended purchase.
