AvantGuard - Sage Intacct (Company Configuration)

Overview

This node is designed to update a department key within a company's configuration in the Sage Intacct system via the AvantGuard API. It allows users to modify specific department-related settings by sending an update request with optional additional fields. This node is useful for automating updates to organizational structures, ensuring that department keys remain current and consistent across systems.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically updating department identifiers after organizational restructuring.
• Syncing department keys from an external HR system into Sage Intacct.
• Batch updating multiple department configurations as part of a deployment or migration process.

Properties

The "Additional Body Fields" property lets you add extra parameters to the request body when updating the department key. For example, you can specify the department's unique identifier (Id) to target the correct department for the update.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the AvantGuard Sage Intacct API after attempting to update the department key. This typically includes confirmation of the update, any updated department details, or error information if the update failed.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard Sage Intacct API.
• The base URL for the API is configured dynamically from the provided credentials.
• Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties and handling API interactions.
• Uses an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node to define available operations and parameters.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Providing an incorrect or missing department Id may result in the API not finding the target department.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the AvantGuard API endpoint.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API tokens; verify and update credentials.
  • Validation errors from the API may occur if required fields are missing or malformed; ensure all necessary fields are correctly set.
  • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check your internet connection and API availability.
