Punchout - How to Add Vendor Tiles to your NetSuite Account
In NetSuite, the home page can be customized to enhance your workflow by adding various Portlets. One important customization is adding Punchout Tiles, which provide direct access to supplier punchout catalogs, streamlining procurement processes. This article will guide you through the current process of adding Punchout Tiles to your NetSuite dashboard.
Introduction
In NetSuite, the dashboard consists of Portlets—widgets or blocks that display information and tools. Among these, Custom Portlets allow for greater personalization, including integration with supplier punchout catalogs through Punchout Vendor Tiles.
Punchout Tiles simplify procurement by allowing users to connect directly to supplier sites without leaving NetSuite.
Note: If you encounter any issues during setup, you may need to consult your NetSuite Administrator for additional permissions or configuration assistance.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have the required permissions to personalize your dashboard.
Familiarity with your NetSuite role (Employee Center or standard user) is helpful but not necessary for these steps.
Steps to Add Punchout Tiles
Click on "Personalize" at the top right of your NetSuite dashboard.
In the Personalize Dashboard screen, click on SuiteApps.
From the list, select "Punchout - Vendor Tiles".
After completing these steps, the Punchout Vendor Tiles will appear on your dashboard.
Troubleshooting
Personalize Option Missing: If you don’t see the "Personalize" button, it’s likely a permissions issue. Contact your NetSuite Administrator.
Punchout Tiles Not Displaying Properly: Ensure that supplier tiles have been configured and are active within your environment.
Conclusion
Adding Punchout Tiles to your NetSuite dashboard is a quick and easy way to streamline access to supplier catalogs and improve procurement workflows. For any advanced setup or troubleshooting, your NetSuite Administrator will be your best resource.
By leveraging this customization, you can optimize your NetSuite experience and drive greater efficiency for your business.
