    • As an administrator, you can configure the sourcing checkout to collect information that is relevant to a specific product, product model, or product category. You can also change the default sourcing checkout used universally. The additional information at the sourcing checkout helps understand the requirement better and enable quicker processing.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_shop.shopping_hub_admin

    Configure sourcing checkouts in Shopping Hub to change all sourcing requests for a product or service throughout the system. Or you can configure for specific products and categories.

    To configure a sourcing checkout for a product or service, you must first create the sourcing checkout from the purchasing automation tab of product, product model, or category. Simply select Create new sourcing checkout, for more information, see Create sourcing checkout record.
    • Supplier Product: Create or change the sourcing checkout for a specific product from a specific supplier. For example, MacBook Pros 15 inch sold by a specific supplier, for example, Apple.
    • Product Model: Create or change the sourcing checkout for a product model. For example, MacBook Pros 15 inch sold by any supplier.
    • Product Categories: Create or change the sourcing checkout for a product category. For example, Laptops.
    • Default Sourcing Checkout: Change the sourcing checkout for all sourcing requests of goods or services in ShoppingHub Configuration. From Catalog builder, edit the default checkout and submit.
      Note:
      Values defined at the supplier product take priority over the values defined at other levels.

      • Values defined at the product category take precedence over default.
      Note:
      If you do not configure the sourcing checkout value, the default sourcing checkout is applicable.
      Once you select sourcing checkout, shoppers can view, select, and provide relevant information associated with the procurement of the product or service.
