5. Punchout Catalog and Electronic Invoicing The Contractor is encouraged to provide an MFMP punchout catalog. The punchout catalog provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State access to Products awarded under the Contract. The punchout catalog also allows for direct communication between the MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which can reflect real-time Product inventory/availability information.

The punchout catalog enables, Florida buyer to “punch out” to a supplier’s website. Using the search tools on the supplier’s Florida punchout catalog site, the user selects the desired Products.

When complete, the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site and the shopping cart (full of Products) is “brought back” to MFMP. No orders are sent to a supplier when the user exits the supplier’s punchout catalog site. Instead, the chosen Products are “brought back” to MFMP as line items in a purchase order. The user can then proceed through the normal workflow steps, which may include adding, deleting, and editing Products (i.e., line items) in the purchase order.

An order is not submitted to a supplier until the user approves and submits the purchase order, at which point the supplier receives an email with the order details.

The Contractor may supply electronic invoices in lieu of paper-based invoices for those transactions processed through MFMP. Electronic invoices may be submitted to the agency mailto:purchasing@digital.fl.gov

43230000-24-STC Page 15 of 17 through one of the mechanisms as listed below:

1) EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (EDI 810) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used for invoicing via the Business Network (formerly known as Ariba Network) for catalog and non-catalog goods and services.

2) PO Flip via BN This online process allows Contractors to submit invoices via the BN for catalog and non-catalog goods and services. Contractors are able to create an invoice directly from their inbox in their BN account by simply "flipping" the PO into an invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical capabilities.

The Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third-party provider of MFMP, a State contractor, the right and license to use, reproduce, transmit, distribute, and publicly display within MFMP. In addition, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third-party provider the right and license to reproduce and display within MFMP the Contractor's trademarks, system marks, logos, trade dress, or other branding designation that identifies the products made available by the Contractor under the Contract.

6. MFMP Transaction Fee Report The Contractor is required to submit complete monthly MFMP Transaction Fee Reports to the Department. Reports are due 15 calendar days after the end of each month.
