cXML Punchout and Multi-ERP Integration for Automated Procure-to-Pay
Bridge your ERP with Borong's B2B supplier network through standard cXML and OCI protocols. Teams reach live wholesale catalogs from inside your existing procurement system, build baskets, and return approved requisitions to your internal workflows without leaving the ERP or re-entering data.
Why ERP Integration Matters for Enterprise Procurement
Most large enterprises and government organizations already have significant investment in ERP and financial systems, which serve as the master record for purchasing, financial reporting and compliance. Procurement that happens outside them creates gaps in visibility and undermines the integrity of those records.
Without native integration, teams using an external marketplace transfer order details into the ERP by hand: product descriptions, SKU codes, quantities, pricing, supplier details. It is slow, error-prone, and it drags on every procurement cycle.
Borong's cXML punchout removes that step. With the marketplace connected directly to your ERP, purchasing data flows between systems without re-entry. Financial records stay accurate, compliance documentation stays complete, and the team spends its time on sourcing rather than data entry.
How Borong Punchout Works
The punchout workflow follows a structured sequence that keeps purchasing inside your governance framework at every step.
Single Sign-On and Catalog Access
Users open Borong from inside their ERP through a single sign-on link, with no separate credentials. The integration authenticates them and opens the wholesale catalog pre-configured with your approved categories and contract pricing. They browse as they would on any marketplace, and everything they see is already within policy.
Real-Time Contract Rate Enforcement
Through punchout, users see pricing configured to your pre-negotiated contract rates. Borong applies no markup: the catalog shows the supplier's wholesale rate, adjusted for the volume discounts and contract terms your team negotiated. Off-contract purchasing is prevented by design, because users only reach what is approved for their role and cost center.
Automated Purchase Requisition Transfer
Users do not check out on Borong. They click transfer, and the system packages the whole multi-vendor order into a standard cXML or OCI structure and pushes it into the ERP as an unapproved requisition, populated with every product detail, price, quantity and supplier. Your internal approval workflow takes over from there.
Bi-Directional Purchase Order Sync
Once authorized, the ERP generates a formal purchase order and sends it back through the same pathway. Borong routes the individual line items to their suppliers for fulfillment. The full cycle, catalog to supplier dispatch, runs without a manual handoff.

Data Security and Platform Neutrality
Connecting procurement systems to an external marketplace makes data security a first-order concern. You need to know your purchasing patterns, contract terms and supplier relationships are not being accessed by the operator for commercial purposes.
Borong is a platform facilitator and does not buy or resell products itself, so there is no internal sales function that would gain from reading your integration data for high-margin categories or undercutting your suppliers. Data passing through the punchout is encrypted in transit and at rest, under isolation protocols that prevent cross-organization access.
