Blackpurl Release Notes — Vendor Order Export, Email Updates, and Deal Documents

A summary of new features and improvements in this Blackpurl release, including Turn 14 export, email enhancements, and deal document forms.

What's New

Vendor Order Export Format for Turn 14 (Tucker Rocky)

A new Vendor Order (VO) export format is now available for importing into the Parts Order Interface of Turn 14 (Tucker Rocky). For full details on using this export, see Export a Vendor Order to Turn14 (TRDOS) Format.
​

Customer Order — Emailing Out of Blackpurl

The email composition window for Customer Orders has been updated with two new capabilities.

  • Reply To — Dealerships can now specify a Reply To email address so that when a customer replies to the email, it is delivered to the designated address. The Reply To address must be either the default email address attached to your dealership's Blackpurl account or the email address of the currently logged-in user. Entering a custom or unrecognised email address is not permitted.

  • Attachments — If images or documents are saved on the Customer Order, you can now choose to include them as attachments in the email. A list of available documents and images will appear, and you can toggle each item on or off to include it with the email.

Vendor Documentation — Standard Formatting

Vendor documentation — including Vendor Orders and Vendor Receiving — has been updated to use the same standardised formatting that was previously applied to Customer Order documentation.
​

Deal Documents — Include a Form

You can now select a form to include as part of any deal documents generated from a Customer Order. For example, if your dealership has Terms and Conditions uploaded as a form, you can configure those Terms and Conditions to be automatically included when printing or emailing a Bill of Sale from a Customer Order unit deal.
​

Setting this up involves two steps:

  1. Upload the form through System Settings > Form Repository. For guidance, see Forms in Customer Orders: Upload, Link, and Attach.

  2. Configure which form is included in deal documents through System Settings > Settings & Controls > Disclaimers. For guidance, see System Setting > Settings & Controls - What is a Disclaimer / How to setup a Disclaimer (no longer available).
