How punchout works in Dynamics 365
Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain supports external supplier catalogs through the Procurement and sourcing module. The buying organisation configures the supplier's punchout endpoint and credentials; when a requisitioner selects the catalogue, D365 opens an authenticated session into the supplier's site and the completed cart returns as purchase requisition lines.
With Lapasar as the external catalog, that session lands in Malaysia's largest B2B marketplace — live stock across 2 million SKUs, the organisation's negotiated pricing, and only the categories procurement has approved. The requisition then routes through your existing D365 workflow approvals to a purchase order, which is transmitted to Lapasar for fulfilment.
Why D365 customers add a marketplace catalog
The long tail is where D365 procurement discipline usually leaks: fragmented low-value purchases across dozens of vendors, each requiring onboarding, quotes and manual requisition entry. Channelling the tail through one external catalog turns that into governed, on-contract purchasing — one vendor record, one invoice relationship, full spend visibility inside D365.
- One external catalog covers office, pantry, IT, MRO and facilities
- Contract pricing enforced in every punchout session
- Requisition-to-PO flow stays entirely in D365
- Owned-warehouse fulfilment and Peninsular Malaysia delivery
