The repair process involves the following actors:

• Customer
• Approved service partners (SP)
• AGORA
• Manufacturers

And provides for the following steps:

1. Repair management

2. Warranty management

3. Invoicing management

2.1 Repair Management

When SP receives a repair request for a product, it must keep track of the relevant "repair status" changes in its information system and transmit this information to Agora. In Agora, the repair activity is represented by the entity called Work Order.

    2.1.1 Functional analysis of the life cycle of an SP repair

The treatment cycle of a SP repair is represented by the following statuses:

2.1.1.1 Opening

This is the initial status of the repair process and represents the insertion phase of a new request for repair in the SP information system.

2.1.1.2 Acceptance

This is the status after the opening of the work order, in which the SP records the receipt of the request for repair.

A repair file is created and will allow you to enter the details of the repair.

2.1.1.3 Processing

This is the post-acceptance status in which the SP is analyzing the products to be repaired.

2.1.1.4 Waiting for parts

If spare parts are needed, this is the status in which the SP waits to receive the spare parts to carry out the repair.

2.1.1.5 Documents received

This is the status in which the SP receives the ordered spare parts and executes the repair.

2.1.1.6 Closing

It is due to the status after the repair activity in which the SP indicates that it has completed the repair.

2.1.1.7 Delivered products

This is the final status of the process and represents the delivery of the repaired product to the consumer.

    2.1.2 Functional analysis of the life cycle of a repair file in Agora

The processing cycle of a repair file is represented by the following states:

2.1.2.1 Repair accepted (code 100)

This is the initial state automatically assigned by Agora when creating the Work Order.

2.1.2.2 Product received (code 405)

This is the status that must be sent to Agora when you receive the product from the customer. (cf. 2. 1.1.2. Acceptance).

2.1.2.3 In treatment (code 406)

This is the state that must be sent when the repair is in progress. (See 2.1.1.3.  Processing).

2.1.2.4 Parts ordered (code 205)

This is the state that must be sent when waiting for parts. (cf. 2. 1.1.4. Pending documents).

2.1.2.5 Parts received (code 201)

This is the status to be sent when the ordered spare parts are available (see 2.1.1. 5.  Documents received) .

2.1.2.6 Repair performed (code 305)

This is the state that needs to be sent once the repair is complete. (See 2.1.1. 6.  Closing).

2.1.2.7 Closed with WR (code 601)

This is the state automatically assigned by Agora when creating the warranty report (report of the repair)." This entity will be dealt with in the paragraph on the management of warranty repairs. (cf.  2.2.2 Creation of the Warranty Claim).

2.1.2.8 Delivered product (code 602)

This is the status that must be sent when the station delivers the product to the customer. (cf.  2.1.1.7.  Delivered Product).

SUMMARY TABLE

2.1.3 Creation of the repair file

When the SP inserts a new repair into its information system, it is necessary to create the repair file in Agora.

NOTE

When creating the repair file, Agora automatically assigns the status "WO accepted" (code 100) to the repair file.

2.1.4 Update of the repair file

It is necessary to transmit each modification of the status of the repair: update the information of the repair file in Agora by transmitting its status 

At the end of the repair, if the product is under warranty, the SP transfers through Agora to the manufacturer the Warranty Report containing information on the repair, labor costs and spare parts used. In Agora, the warranty report is represented by the entity named Warranty Claim.

2.2.1 Warranty Claim Lifecycle Analysis

The statutes of the Warranty Claim are as follows:

2.2.1.1 Not valid (not transmitted)

Indicates that the Warranty Claim is not considered valid by Agora because one or more data is missing and/or incorrect. The Warranty Claim in this status must be updated to be formally valid for Agora (with validations rules of the manufacturer) and to be transferred to the manufacturer.

2.2.1.2 Valid (not transmitted)

Indicates that the Warranty Claim is considered formally valid by Agora. The warranty claim that is in this state can be transferred to the manufacturer.

2.2.1.3 Not conform

Indicates that the Warranty Claim has been transferred and is not considered valid by the manufacturer because one or more data is missing and/or incorrect. The warranty claim in this status must be updated in order to be transferred back to the manufacturer.

2.2.1.4 Accepted / Closed and accepted

Indicates that the Warranty Claim has been transferred and deemed valid by the manufacturer.

2.2.2 Creation of the Warranty Claim

After completing the repair of a product under warranty, the following steps must be performed in order:

• Update the Work Order to the "Repair Completed" state (code 305)
  • web API [ /api/repair/updaterepair ]
• Create the Warranty Claim
  • web API [ /api/repair/createwarrantyclaim ]

NOTE

At the same time as the Warranty Claim is created, Agora automatically modifies the status of the repair file concerned and puts it in a "Closed with WR" state (code 601) (see 1.1.2.7 "Closed with WR" (code 601)).

2.2.3 Transfer of the Warranty Claim to the manufacturer

When SP considers that all the information contained in the repair file is complete, and that the repair can be transferred to the manufacturer for the creation of the warranty report, it is necessary:

• To update the Warranty Claim by changing the value of the transferIfValid parameter to "true"

1. web API [ /api/repair/updatewarrantyclaim ]

NOTE

All Warranty Claims in Agora that have this attribute to "true" have been deemed valid by the SP to be transferred to the manufacturer, are sent by Agora to the manufacturer by a daily "job".

2.2.4 Checking of the Warranty Claim status

To check the status of the Warranty Claim:

2.2.5 Warranty Claim Update

It is necessary to update the Warranty Claim when it is in status:

• Not valid (not transmitted): this is the case where there are anomalies found by Agora during creation (in the response of Agora there is the message with the error found)."
• Not conform: is the case where the warranty report has not been accepted by the manufacturer for incorrect or missing data.

In these cases, the Warranty Claim must be corrected by the SP in order to be sent to the manufacturer.

To correct the error, it is necessary to:

• Update the Warranty Claim with appropriate changes
  • web API [ /api/repair/updatewarrantyclaim ]
• Update the associated repair file by ensuring that the correct status is passed, 601 
  • web API [ /api/repair/updaterepair ]

NOTE

After the creation of the Warranty Claim, Agora automatically changed the status of the repair file corresponding to "Repair completed" (code 305), the last report sent by the SP, to "Closed with WR" (code 601).

• Update the repair file to the state 602 "Delivered product"
  • web API [ /api/repair/updaterepair ]

2.3 Invoicing Management

(Especially for some manufacturers)

At the beginning of the month, SP sends Agora the reference of its invoice for the previous month's warranty repairs. Agora will send this information to the manufacturer for payment of the services.

2.3.1 Integration with AGORA

The SP receives an email with the authorization, in PDF format, and the list, in CSV format, of all warranty reports, received and accepted by the manufacturer, relating to the past month.  The SP, after creating the invoice, sends the reference to Agora.

2.3.2 Sending the invoice reference

To communicate to Agora the details of your invoice, you must:

• Call the appropriate API with your invoice number and authorization code.
  • web API [/api/repair/createeinvoice ].

AGORA APIs are a set of RESTful APIs designed to integrate AGORA's functionality with other IT systems.

Access to the AGORA API is authorized by authentication. To authenticate, you must enter the API keys as a parameter in the request to the web service. The CAT must request the KEY API at the email address [email protected].

There are two different environments, one dedicated to development and testing called "pre-production" and the other representing the "production" environment. 

The two environments differ for the access url and the KEY service access API which are different.

Pre-production environment URL :

 https://preprod-api.agoraplus.com

Production environment URL :

 https://api.agoraplus.com

This is the setting used for web services authentication. 

The parameter name is apikey and the value is different between the test environment and production.

3.3.2 Accept

This is the parameter used to indicate the type of MIME media that the client is able to recognize and accept. 

The parameter name is Accept and its value is application/json.

3.3.3 Content type

This is the parameter used to specify the type of MIME media used for the content of the request. Used for POST and PUT methods.

The parameter name is Content-Type and its value is application/json.

3.3.4 Example

GET /api/product/printmanufacturerproducts/19/01-01-2020/English HTTP/1.1

Host: api.agoraplus.com

api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Accept: application/json

Content-Type: application/json

3.4 Service Response

3.4.1 Media type

The MIME media type used for the response content is the application/json and the encoding used is UTF-8.

3.4.2 Date / Timestamp

The standard used to indicate dates and time is ISO 8601 and the format is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ

3.4.3 HTTP Header - Status codes

3.4.4 Message body - Structure

{

    "ResponseStatus": {},

    "IsValid": {},

    "ResponseMessage": {},

    "ResponseErrorMessage": {},

    "ResponseData": {}

}
