The returned xml contains a JobID that needs to be sent back when the user places the order at the external system to finish the order in ePower and get an Order ID. The link to send to is in the xml (PunchoutSetup.ashx)

Creating a User - Identity and Shared Secret

In order to create a punchout you need to create a user in that company. The username will be the user identity or buyer identity and the shared secret will the password. You must make this user a generic user. 

Once the user is created you need to create an API key for this user. Go to Manage Sites then Producer Tools the Web Service Keys for Producers.

Add the username you just created and the company id. The Application name and company name is for your reference.

Once created you will need to provide the username and password (shared secret) to the other punchout system.
