Interact with Lexware Office API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lexware Office API to manage various business resources, including Down Payment Invoices. Specifically, for the Down Payment Invoice - Create operation, it allows users to create new down payment invoice records in their Lexware Office system.

Typical use cases include automating the creation of down payment invoices as part of a sales or billing workflow, such as when a customer makes an initial payment before full delivery or service completion. This can help streamline accounting processes and ensure accurate financial documentation.

For example, a user might trigger this node after receiving a partial payment from a client, automatically generating a down payment invoice with relevant details like name, description, notes, tags, and external IDs.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Fields A collection of optional fields to add extra information to the down payment invoice:
- Name Name of the down payment invoice resource
- Description Description text for the resource
- Notes Additional notes related to the resource
- Tags Comma-separated tags for categorization
- External ID An external identifier for integration with other systems

These properties allow customization of the created down payment invoice beyond mandatory fields.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element represents the result of the create operation for each input item.

  • The JSON object contains the created down payment invoice data as returned by the Lexware Office API.
  • If multiple items are processed, the output array includes all corresponding results.
  • No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to the Lexware Office API via an API key credential.
  • The node expects the API base URL and API key to be configured in the credentials.
  • No additional external dependencies are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields Error:
    If required fields for the create operation are not provided, the node throws an error listing missing fields. Ensure all mandatory parameters are set before execution.

  • API Authentication Errors:
    Invalid or missing API keys will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.

  • Network or API Endpoint Issues:
    Connectivity problems or incorrect API base URLs may lead to request failures. Confirm network access and correct endpoint configuration.

  • Continue on Fail Behavior:
    If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error messages in the output JSON.
