Overview
This node integrates with the Lexware Office API to perform operations on various business-related resources. Specifically, for the Down Payment Invoice resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific down payment invoice by its ID.
This node is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and process data related to down payment invoices within automated workflows, such as verifying payment status, generating reports, or syncing invoice data with other systems.
Example use case:
You have an automation that triggers when a new down payment invoice is created in Lexware Office. This node can be used to retrieve the full details of that invoice by its ID to update your CRM or accounting system accordingly.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Down Payment Invoice ID | The unique identifier of the down payment invoice to retrieve. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the retrieved down payment invoice's data. The structure corresponds to the Lexware Office API's down payment invoice resource schema, typically including fields such as invoice details, amounts, dates, status, and related metadata.
If the node encounters an error (e.g., invalid ID), it may output an error message in the JSON response if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to the Lexware Office API.
- Requires an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Down Payment Invoice ID will result in an error.
- Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
"Missing required fields: downPaymentInvoiceId": Ensure the Down Payment Invoice ID is provided.- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up.
- API errors returned from Lexware Office (e.g., 404 Not Found): Confirm the invoice ID exists.
Resolution tips:
