· Enter the Dell punch-out catalog
· Click on “Quick Links” in upper right corner
· Click on ‘Custom Links”
· Click on ‘Non-Standard Quotes’
· Locate your quote number
· Click on the ‘Add-to-Cart’
· Proceed to check out
Should you have any additional questions, please call Greg Mosley, Purchasing Services, at 314-935-5927.
Graybar – Graybar now offers a Level II Punch-out catalog, which means many of their products will display when you conduct a general ‘everything’ search within Marketplace. The new catalog offers Graybar’s entire product offering. Also, the catalog includes quote functionality and order status capability.
