Interact with SAP B1 Service Layer 2 - Finanzas

Actions10

Overview

This node integrates with the SAP B1 Service Layer 2 for financial operations, specifically allowing interaction with the "Chart of Account" resource among others. For the "Create" operation on the Chart of Account, it sends a JSON payload to create a new chart of account entry in the SAP system.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the creation of financial accounts within SAP B1 directly from workflows, syncing external accounting systems with SAP, or programmatically managing the chart of accounts without manual SAP UI intervention.

For example, a user could automate onboarding of new departments by creating corresponding chart of accounts entries automatically when a new department is added in an HR system.

Properties

Name Meaning
JSON Body The JSON content to send as the request body when creating (or updating) a chart of account. This should contain all necessary fields as per SAP B1 API requirements for a Chart of Account.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the SAP B1 Service Layer after attempting the create operation. This typically includes details of the newly created chart of account or error information if the operation failed.

The output structure is:

{
  "json": {
    // Response data from SAP B1 Service Layer for the created Chart of Account
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection credentials to SAP B1 Service Layer API, including:
    • Base URL of the SAP B1 Service Layer.
    • Username and password for authentication.
    • Company database identifier.
  • The node performs a login request to obtain session cookies used for subsequent requests.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with JSON payloads to interact with SAP B1 endpoints.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the SAP B1 Service Layer API and valid credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: If login fails, verify that the base URL, username, password, and company database are correct and that the SAP B1 Service Layer is accessible.
  • Invalid JSON Body: Ensure the JSON body matches the expected schema for creating a Chart of Account in SAP B1. Invalid or incomplete data will cause API errors.
  • Network issues: Connection timeouts or SSL errors may occur if the SAP B1 server is unreachable or has invalid certificates. The node disables strict SSL verification (rejectUnauthorized: false), but network connectivity must be stable.
  • Error responses: The node returns error messages in the output JSON under an error key. Review these messages to identify issues such as missing required fields or permission problems.
  • Key parameter: Not used for create operation but required for update/delete/get by key operations. Ensure correct usage depending on operation.
