No, users that buy via Punchout can immediately use Punch-in, too. For users who intend to buy both on Amazon Business website and through Punchout/Punch-in, we recommend mapping them to at least two separate groups – one with Punchout / Punch-in permissions (Punchout user access) and the other with Direct Website permissions (requisitioner access). When customers have both permissions on the same group, Direct Website purchase permissions take precedence over Punch-in.
