Overview

This node integrates with the SAP B1 Service Layer 2 for financial operations, specifically allowing interaction with Journal Entries in SAP Business One. The "Update" operation for Journal Entries enables users to modify existing journal entries by specifying their unique key and providing updated data in JSON format.

Common scenarios include:

  • Correcting or adjusting accounting entries after initial posting.
  • Updating details such as amounts, accounts, or descriptions in a journal entry.
  • Automating financial workflows where journal entries need periodic updates based on external triggers.

Practical example:
A finance team uses this node to update a journal entry's description and amounts after discovering an error in the original entry, ensuring accurate financial reporting without manual intervention in SAP.

Properties

Name Meaning
Key The unique numeric identifier of the journal entry to update.
JSON Body The JSON object containing the fields and values to update in the journal entry.

The "JSON Body" property accepts any valid JSON structure representing the journal entry fields to be updated. This allows flexible partial updates according to SAP B1 API specifications.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output item contains:

  • json: The response from the SAP B1 Service Layer API after attempting the update operation. This typically includes the updated journal entry data or confirmation of the update.
  • In case of errors, the json field contains an error property with the error message.

No binary data is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection credentials to the SAP B1 Service Layer API, including:
    • Base URL of the SAP B1 Service Layer.
    • Username and password for authentication.
    • Company database name.
  • The node performs a login request to obtain session cookies used for subsequent API calls.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the SAP B1 Service Layer API and valid credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failures: Errors during login (e.g., invalid username/password or company DB) will prevent any operation. Verify credentials and network access to the SAP B1 Service Layer.
  • Invalid Key: Providing a non-existent or incorrect journal entry key will result in API errors. Ensure the key corresponds to an existing journal entry.
  • Malformed JSON Body: Incorrectly structured JSON in the "JSON Body" property can cause the PATCH request to fail. Validate JSON syntax and ensure it matches SAP B1 expected schema.
  • Network issues: Connection timeouts or SSL errors may occur if the SAP B1 server is unreachable or has certificate issues. Check network connectivity and SSL settings.
  • API errors: The node returns error messages from the SAP B1 API directly in the output. Review these messages to understand specific issues like permission problems or invalid field values.
