Jaggaer Catalog Manager and Punchout Site configuration
In JAGGAER ONE, external supplier catalogues are managed through the Catalog Manager module. To add Lapasar, the Jaggaer administrator creates a new Punchout Site record — this is the configuration object Jaggaer uses for cXML punchout suppliers, distinct from hosted (CIF) catalogue records. The administrator enters Lapasar's PunchOutSetupRequest URL and the shared secret issued by Lapasar for the buying organisation, then saves the record and initiates a test punchout session from within Catalog Manager.
Jaggaer requires a successful roundtrip test — the administrator must confirm that the punchout session opens correctly, that the cart return delivers properly structured cXML, and that line items appear in the requisition with valid UNSPSC codes — before the Punchout Site can be activated for end users. Lapasar's integration team participates in this testing phase and can diagnose any cXML header mismatches or identity configuration issues.
- Configuration object: Punchout Site (not CIF/hosted catalogue)
- Credentials: shared secret + PunchOutSetupRequest URL from Lapasar
- Roundtrip test required in Catalog Manager before activation
- Lapasar integration team participates in test session sign-off
UNSPSC content groups and indirect procurement scope
A distinctive feature of Jaggaer's catalogue configuration is its use of UNSPSC content groups to define which categories a punchout supplier is authorised to supply. Each Punchout Site is assigned one or more content groups, and Jaggaer's guided shopping interface surfaces the punchout site only to requisitioners searching within those commodity categories. This prevents a single supplier record from cluttering the catalogue for buyers outside its relevant categories.
Lapasar supplies indirect categories — office supplies, MRO and maintenance items, pantry and facility products, IT consumables — that map cleanly to established UNSPSC segments. During the connection scoping call, Lapasar's integration team provides the recommended UNSPSC segment and family codes for your content group configuration based on the categories your organisation procures most frequently through the marketplace.
- Content groups define which UNSPSC categories surface the punchout site
- Lapasar provides recommended UNSPSC codes during scoping
- Category-scoped display prevents off-category confusion in guided shopping
- Content groups can be expanded or refined after go-live without re-testing the punchout endpoint
