About the ERP API
Upchain’s ERP API can send data to your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. A specific ERP system is not required. The ERP system or a middleware subscribes to webhook events to receive the updates.
ERP API calls can perform many tasks, including:
- Send data from a completed work order.
- Updates to an item’s status and cost.
- Identify a substitute part to replace an obsolete part.
- Check connectivity with the ERP system.
Before you begin using the ERP API, ensure that you have completed the required setup.
Note: This page does not describe any setup or configurations required for your chosen ERP system.
Required setup
Once you have an access token and a subscription, notifications are sent to your ERP regarding:
- Lists of operations to which notifications have been subscribed to.
- Details about a specific subscription or all subscriptions.
- Delete a subscription.
There are ERP endpoints that update the following information in Upchain. You are not required to have a subscription to use these endpoints:
- Update an item’s status (using part number or manufacturer’s information).
- Update an item’s cost (using part number or manufacturer’s information).
- Update an item’s id or its ERP id.
- Assign a substitute part.
