Lexware Office

Overview

This node integrates with the Lexware Office API to manage various business resources. Specifically, for the Voucherlist resource with the Update operation, it allows updating details of a voucher list entry in the Lexware system. This is useful for businesses that need to programmatically modify voucher list records such as invoices, credit notes, or other financial documents managed within Lexware.

Typical scenarios include:

• Updating metadata like name, description, notes, tags, or external IDs associated with a voucher list.
• Synchronizing voucher list data from other systems or workflows.
• Automating updates to voucher lists based on business rules or events.

Example: A company might update the description and tags of a voucher list entry after receiving additional information from their accounting department.

Properties

These properties allow flexible updates to the voucher list's metadata.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the updated voucher list entries returned by the Lexware Office API. Each object contains the updated fields and any other relevant data returned by the API.

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 Lexware Office API base URL and API key to be configured in the credentials.
• No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Lexware API access.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Required Fields Error: If required fields for the update operation are missing, the node throws an error listing them. Ensure all mandatory parameters are provided.
• Authentication Errors: Invalid or missing API key credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify the API key and base URL in the credentials.
• API Rate Limits: The Lexware API may enforce rate limits; if exceeded, requests may fail. Adjust the API rate limit setting or add delays between calls.
• Invalid Field Values: Providing invalid values (e.g., wrong data types or unsupported tags) may result in API errors. Validate input data before execution.
• Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error messages in the output.
