Field guide
Different protocols. One coherent procurement flow.
A supplier may use PunchOut for its catalog, EDI for orders, an API for status and files for updates. A shared model keeps the enterprise side coherent.
A practical method for procurement and IT teams
Hybrid is often the honest architecture.
Suppliers do not share the same technical capacity, and every flow does not have the same needs. Catalog browsing, orders, invoices and status updates can legitimately use different methods.
The challenge is to keep those differences at the edge. A canonical model and a connectivity layer prevent every supplier variation from leaking into the ERP.
