Overview
This node is designed to update a specific exchange rate line key within a company configuration in the Sage Intacct system via the AvantGuard API. It allows users to modify details such as the effective start date and the exchange rate value for a given exchange rate line. This functionality is useful in financial automation workflows where currency exchange rates need to be programmatically updated to reflect current or future values, ensuring accurate financial reporting and transaction processing.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically updating exchange rates daily based on external currency data feeds.
- Adjusting exchange rates for future periods as part of financial planning.
- Integrating with ERP systems to keep currency conversion rates synchronized.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Body Fields | Optional fields to include in the update request body. Available options: |
| - Effective Start Date: The date from which the new exchange rate becomes effective. | |
| - Exchange Rate: The numeric value of the exchange rate to set for the specified line key. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the AvantGuard Sage Intacct API after attempting to update the exchange rate line. This typically includes confirmation of the update, any updated resource details, or error information if the operation failed.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent file contents or attachments related to the update, but this node focuses on JSON responses only.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard Sage Intacct API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
- The node depends on the
@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-nodepackage for building request properties and handling API communication. - The OpenAPI specification (
openapi.json) defines the available operations and parameters.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to update company configurations.
- Invalid date or exchange rate format: Verify that the "Effective Start Date" is in a valid string format accepted by the API and that the "Exchange Rate" is a valid numeric string.
- Network or API endpoint issues: Confirm that the base URL is correct and accessible from the n8n environment.
- Missing required fields: Although additional fields are optional, the node may require certain identifiers (like the exchange rate line key) to be set elsewhere; ensure all necessary inputs are provided.
- Error messages from API: Review the JSON output for error details returned by the API to guide corrective actions.
