AvantGuard - Sage Intacct (Company Configuration)

Overview

This node is designed to update the "Employee Type Key" configuration within a company's settings in the context of Employee Types. It allows users to modify specific fields related to employee types by sending an update request with optional additional data. This can be useful for organizations that need to programmatically manage or synchronize employee type configurations, such as updating identifiers or other metadata associated with employee types.

A practical example would be automating updates to employee type keys when integrating with HR systems or adjusting company-specific categorizations of employees without manual intervention.

Properties

• Additional Body Fields: This collection allows adding extra fields to the request body when updating the employee type key. The only explicitly defined field here is Id, which likely represents the identifier of the employee type to update.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the update operation on the employee type key. This typically includes confirmation of the update, any updated resource details, or error information if the update failed.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the AvantGuard Sage Intacct Company Configuration API.
• The base URL for API requests is configured via credentials.
• Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node for request building and execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Providing an invalid or missing Id in the additional body fields may result in errors or no changes applied.
  • Network connectivity issues to the configured base URL can prevent successful API calls.

• Error Messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the provided API key or token.
  • Validation errors may occur if required fields are missing or incorrectly formatted.
  • API response errors should be checked for detailed messages indicating what went wrong.

To resolve these:

• Ensure valid and active API credentials are configured.
• Verify that the Id and any other fields are correctly set and conform to expected formats.
• Check network access and endpoint URLs.
