LEDGERS

Interact with LEDGERS API

Overview

This node interacts with a financial or accounting API to perform various operations related to ledgers, including sales operations specific to India. The "View Quote" operation under the "Sales Operation (India)" resource allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific sales quote by providing its unique Quote ID.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Retrieving details of a sales quote for review or processing.
  • Integrating quote data into workflows for approvals, invoicing, or customer communication.
  • Automating reporting or analytics based on sales quotes.

For example, a user can input a Quote ID to fetch all relevant details about that quote, such as items quoted, pricing, customer information, and status, enabling seamless integration into broader business processes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Quote ID The unique identifier of the sales quote to view. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the detailed information of the requested sales quote. The structure typically includes fields such as quote metadata, line items, pricing, customer details, and status. The exact schema depends on the external API's response format.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent attachments or documents related to the quote, but no explicit binary output handling is visible in the static analysis.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential and user authentication credentials (email and password) to authenticate with the external ledger service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the configured API URL endpoint.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials and API URL in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Failures: Errors indicating failed login usually mean incorrect API key, email, or password. Verify credentials and ensure they are correctly set in n8n.
  • Invalid Quote ID: If the Quote ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return errors or empty data. Confirm the Quote ID is correct.
  • API Endpoint Issues: Network or endpoint misconfiguration can cause request failures. Check the API URL and network connectivity.
  • Unexpected Response Structure: If the API changes its response format, the node might fail to parse data correctly. Review API documentation and update the node if needed.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external ledger service API documentation for detailed information on the "View Quote" endpoint and expected response formats.
