Blackpurl

This article is regarding the setting up of a Honda Web API Integration but it is only available to our Australian Dealerships

Honda Web API integration is now available with Blackpurl for the following APIs:

• Part Inventory Upload
  
  
• Service Data Upload
  
  
• Submit Orders
  
  
• Download Invoice Data

Setup 

To enable this functionality, please contact Blackpurl Support either by emailing [email protected] or by chat bubble with your request but you will need to provide the following details:

• Dealer Number - As supplied by Honda

• Honda Vendor Code - This is the vendor code of Vendor: Honda in Blackpurl
  
  Navigate to the relevant Vendor Record for Honda in your Blackpurl and provide the Vendor Code
  
  For example - the Vendor Code for the Vendor Record below is HON
  
  

 

• Web Key Number - As supplied by Honda
  
• Username and Password to the Honda API - this is how the dealership logs into the Honda site

• Frequency of Upload of Part Inventory and Service Data
  
  How often the uploads are to automatically upload to the Honda API

How it works 

• Part Inventory Upload

• Service Data Upload 

• Submit Vendor Order

Dealerships will be able to submit a Vendor Order direct to Honda from Blackpurl for Daily orders and Stock Orders

For Campaign orders the Dealership will still need to be manually enter the items onto Honda website in their Campaign ordering section.  This is because Honda does not provide the option of automatically uploading / importing Campaign orders

What is the Process:

Dealerships will create a Vendor Order for Honda as per the normal process but when the user clicks on SUBMIT ORDER, they will get the option of Send Order to Honda?



Click on the if you want to change the type of order you are submitting to Honda from the default Daily order to Stock order or Campaign order

• If the User selects Daily order OR Stock order and then clicks on - this icon  will appear

It indicates that the Vendor Order is getting processed and uploaded direct to the Honda API

You will receive this confirmation that the Vendor Order has been uploaded successfully to Honda

The Vendor Order status in Blackpurl will also automatically change to Submitted

• If the User selects Campaign order and then clicks on the status in Blackpurl will also automatically change to Submitted 
  
  

• Download Invoice Data 

The Dealership will be able to download the Invoice data directly into a Vendor Receiving

The Dealership will process ORDER > PARTS RECEIVING for relevant Honda Vendor

This will trigger the Honda API to provide the Dealership with a list of Invoices available for download

If there are no available invoices then you will get the message "No Invoices available from Honda" and will be able to continue with the normal processing of a vendor receiving

If there are Invoices available, the user will get the option of Select an Invoice from the drop down

The drop down will populate will all the Invoices available for download and the user is to select which Invoice they wish to download into their Vendor Receiving



Once the user has selected one of the Invoices from the list, a Download Invoice action will begin and all line items of the Invoice will download into the Vendor Receiving

The user can then finalise the Vendor Receiving as per the normal process
