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 support@blackpurl.com 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

For the Part Inventory Upload and Service Data Upload, instead of the Dealership manually uploading it to the Honda site, Blackpurl will automatically upload the relevant data on your behalf but we need a Username and Password to be able to do this
  • 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
Blackpurl will automatically upload all Honda Part Records which are currently in stock to the Honda API at scheduled times

  • Service Data Upload 
Blackpurl will automatically upload service data information on service jobs on Honda Units that have been invoiced.  The upload will be set to run at scheduled times etc

  • 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?

The User will still need to manually enter in their Campaign order items onto the Honda website

  • 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
