LEDGERSInstall

Overview

This node interacts with a financial ledger system's API, specifically supporting various operations grouped by resource types. For the Sales Operation (India) resource and the View Receipt operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific sales receipt using its unique identifier.

Typical use cases include:

• Fetching receipt details for verification or auditing.
• Integrating receipt data into workflows for reporting or further processing.
• Automating customer service tasks that require access to past sales receipts.

For example, a user can input a Receipt ID to retrieve all associated data such as items sold, amounts, taxes, and payment details from the ledger system.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested sales receipt. This typically includes fields such as:

• Receipt metadata (ID, date, status).
• Line items sold (product details, quantities, prices).
• Tax and discount information.
• Payment method and amounts.
• Customer and contact details related to the sale.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential and authentication token to access the ledger system's REST API.
• The node performs a login request to obtain an API token before making subsequent requests.
• The base URL for the API and credentials (email, password, API key) must be configured in n8n credentials.
• Network connectivity to the ledger API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication failures: If the node cannot log in, it will throw an error indicating "Authentication failed. Check your credentials." Ensure the API key, email, and password are correct and have sufficient permissions.
• Invalid Receipt ID: Providing a non-existent or malformed Receipt ID may result in empty or error responses. Verify the Receipt ID before running the node.
• API endpoint issues: If the API URL is incorrect or the service is down, requests will fail. Confirm the API URL configuration and service availability.
• Rate limits or quota exceeded: The API might limit the number of requests; if errors occur, check usage limits and adjust workflow frequency accordingly.
