Overview
This node integrates with the Zoho Inventory API to manage composite items, which are products made up of multiple component items. Specifically, the Delete operation for the Composite Item resource allows users to remove a composite item from their Zoho Inventory account by specifying its unique ID.
Typical use cases include:
- Cleaning up obsolete or discontinued composite products.
- Automating inventory management workflows where composite items need to be removed based on business logic.
- Integrating with other systems to synchronize product catalogs by deleting composite items no longer available.
Example: A retailer wants to delete a bundled product (composite item) that is no longer sold. By providing the composite item's ID, this node deletes it from Zoho Inventory.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Composite Item ID | The unique identifier of the composite item to delete. This is required to specify which composite item should be removed. |
Output
The output JSON contains a confirmation of the deletion operation:
{
"success": true,
"message": "Composite item deleted successfully"
}
This indicates that the composite item was successfully deleted from Zoho Inventory.
Dependencies
- Requires an OAuth2 credential configured for Zoho Inventory API access.
- The credential must include a valid Organization ID configured in Zoho Inventory.
- The node uses Zoho Inventory's REST API endpoints for composite items.
- Network connectivity to Zoho Inventory API endpoints is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Credentials: If the OAuth2 credentials are not set or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating that Zoho Inventory credentials were not found. Ensure you have configured the OAuth2 credentials properly.
- Missing Organization ID: The Organization ID must be set in the credentials; otherwise, the node will fail with an error instructing to configure the Organization ID in Zoho Inventory settings.
- Invalid Composite Item ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent composite item ID will result in an API error. Verify the ID before attempting deletion.
- API Errors: Any API-level errors returned by Zoho Inventory (e.g., permission issues, rate limits) will be surfaced as errors. Check the error message and code for details.
- Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one deletion fails, returning the error message in the output JSON.
