Overview
This node integrates with the Lexware Office API to manage various business resources, including Down Payment Invoices. Specifically, for the Down Payment Invoice resource and the Update operation, it allows users to update existing down payment invoice records in their Lexware Office system.
Typical use cases include:
- Modifying details of a down payment invoice after its creation.
- Adding or changing metadata such as name, description, notes, tags, or external IDs associated with a down payment invoice.
- Automating updates to invoices based on workflow triggers or external data changes.
For example, a user might update the notes or tags on a down payment invoice to reflect new internal information or link it to an external system identifier.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Fields | A collection of optional fields to update on the down payment invoice: |
| - Name | The name of the down payment invoice resource. |
| - Description | A textual description of the down payment invoice. |
| - Notes | Additional notes related to the down payment invoice. |
| - Tags | Comma-separated tags for categorizing or labeling the down payment invoice. |
| - External ID | An external identifier for integration with other systems. |
These properties are provided under the "Additional Fields" collection and allow flexible updating of metadata on the down payment invoice.
Output
The node outputs a JSON array where each element corresponds to the result of the update operation for each input item. The JSON structure represents the updated down payment invoice object as returned by the Lexware Office API.
If the operation fails for any item and the node is configured to continue on failure, the output will include an error message object for that item instead.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Lexware Office API.
- The node uses the base URL from the credential configuration to send requests.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the Lexware Office API and its authentication are required.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields Error: If required fields for the update operation are not provided, the node throws an error listing missing fields. Ensure all mandatory parameters (like the down payment invoice ID) are set.
- Authentication Errors: Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify the API key and resource URL in the credentials.
- API Rate Limits: The Lexware Office API may enforce rate limits; if exceeded, requests may fail. Adjust the request frequency accordingly.
- Continue On Fail Behavior: If enabled, errors for individual items do not stop execution but return error messages in the output. Otherwise, the node stops on the first error.
