Overview

This node integrates with the Everest Transport Management System (TMS) to create invoices. It allows users to generate either estimates or official invoices by specifying details such as title, description, client information, amounts, and payment status. This is useful in logistics, transportation, or service businesses where automated invoice generation based on missions or services rendered is needed.

Practical examples include:

Creating an invoice for completed transport missions with detailed descriptions and client info.
Generating an estimate before confirming a job.
Tracking payment status and dates for issued invoices.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element corresponds to the result of creating an invoice. The structure typically includes the created invoice's data returned from the Everest API, such as invoice ID, status, and other relevant metadata.

There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the Everest TMS API.
The node uses internal helper functions to make HTTP POST requests to Everest endpoints.
No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the configured API authentication.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:
- Missing required fields like title, description, or amounts will likely cause errors.
- Invalid "Created For" identifiers may lead to failures if the referenced client or entity does not exist.
- Incorrect API credentials or network issues can cause authentication or connectivity errors.
Error messages:
- Errors thrown by the Everest API will be surfaced; ensure all required parameters are correctly set.
- If the node is set to continue on fail, errors will be included in the output JSON under an error property.
Resolution tips:
- Double-check all required input properties.
- Verify API credentials and network access.
- Use valid client or entity identifiers for the "Created For" field.
