Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific purchase order from an external service. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and process data related to a particular purchase order, such as verifying order details, tracking status, or integrating purchase order data into other workflows.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Automatically pull purchase order details when an order ID is received.
  • Validate purchase order information before processing payments or shipments.
  • Synchronize purchase order data with accounting or inventory systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Id Identifier of the account associated with the purchase order. This is required to specify which account's purchase order to retrieve.
Purchase Order Id Identifier of the specific purchase order to fetch. This uniquely identifies the purchase order within the account.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested purchase order. This typically includes fields such as purchase order metadata, line items, amounts, dates, statuses, and any other relevant information provided by the external API.

If the external service supports binary data related to purchase orders (e.g., attached documents), the node would also output that binary data accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to access the external service's API.
  • The node depends on the external service's REST API endpoint for purchase orders.
  • Proper configuration of the base URL and authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful API calls.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Account Id or Purchase Order Id: Ensure both identifiers are correctly provided and correspond to existing records in the external system.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access purchase order data.
  • Network or connectivity issues: Check network settings and ensure the external API endpoint is reachable.
  • Unexpected API responses: Confirm that the external service's API has not changed and that the node's configuration matches the current API specification.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service’s official API documentation for purchase orders to understand available fields and response structure.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and handle HTTP request nodes for further customization.
