Common use of Punch Clause in Contracts

Punch. Put Catalog and Electronic Invoicing, has been updated. At the State’s option, t The Contractor may be required to provide an MFMP punch-out catalog. The punch-out catalog provides an alternative mechanism for suppliers to offer the State of Florida access to products awarded under the Contract. The punch-out catalog also allows for direct communication between the MFMP eProcurement System and a supplier’s ERP system, which can reflect real-time product inventory/availability information. Through utilization of the punch-out catalog model, a Florida buyer will “punch out” to a supplier’s website. Using the search tools on the supplier’s Florida punch-out catalog site, the user selects the desired products and services. When complete, the user exits the supplier’s punch-out catalog site and the shopping cart (full of products and services) is “brought back” to MFMP. No orders are sent to a supplier when the user exits the supplier’s punch-out catalog site. Instead, the chosen products and services are “brought back” to MFMP as Contract line items. The user can then proceed through the normal workflow steps, which may include adding/editing the items to a requisition or a purchase order. An order is not submitted to a supplier until the buyer actually adds the line items to a requisition and the purchase order is approved and sent to the supplier. At the State's option, the Contractor may be required to invoice electronically pursuant to guidelines of the Department of Management Services. Electronic invoices may be required to be submitted to the agency through the Ariba Network (AN) in one of three mechanisms as listed below. Contractors may select the method that best meets their capabilities from the following list: • cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language) This standard establishes the data contents required for invoicing via cXML within the context of an electronic environment. This transaction set can be used for invoicing via the ASN for catalog and non-catalog products and services. The cXML format is the Ariba preferred method for eInvoicing. • EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) This standard establishes the data contents of the Invoice Transaction Set (810) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used for invoicing via the ASN for catalog and non-catalog products and services. • PO Flip via ASN The online process allows suppliers to submit invoices via the ASN for catalog and non-catalog products and services. Suppliers have the ability to create an invoice directly from their Inbox in their ASN account by simply “flipping” the PO into an invoice. This option does not require any special software or technical capabilities. For the purposes of this section, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the state and the third party provider of MFMP, a state Contractor, the right and license to use, reproduce, transmit, distribute, and publicly display within the system the information outlined above. In addition, the Contractor warrants and represents that it is authorized and empowered to and hereby grants the State and the third party provider the right and license to reproduce and display within the system the Contractor’s trademarks, system marks, logos, trade dress, or other branding designation that identifies the products made available by the Contractor under the Contract. The Contractor will work with the MFMP management team to obtain specific requirements for the punch-out catalog and electronic invoicing.
