Overview

This node integrates with the SAP B1 Service Layer 3 CRM system, allowing users to perform various operations on CRM resources such as Activities, Business Partners, Orders, Quotations, and Sales Opportunities. Specifically, for the Activities - Create operation, it enables creating a new activity record in the SAP B1 CRM by sending a JSON payload describing the activity details.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating CRM workflows, synchronizing external systems with SAP B1 CRM, or programmatically managing CRM data without manual entry. For example, a sales automation workflow could create follow-up activities automatically after a sales opportunity is updated.

Properties

Name Meaning
JSON Body The JSON content sent as the request body when creating an activity. This should contain all necessary fields defining the new activity in SAP B1 CRM.

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 call.
    • On success, this includes the created activity's details as returned by SAP.
    • On failure, it contains an error field 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 identifier.
  • The node authenticates by logging into the SAP B1 Service Layer and manages session cookies for subsequent requests.
  • 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 provided matches the expected schema for an Activity in SAP B1 CRM. Malformed or incomplete JSON will cause API errors.
  • API endpoint errors: Errors like "404 Not Found" or "400 Bad Request" may indicate incorrect resource names, operation types, or missing required fields.
  • Session management issues: If the session cookie is not properly set or expires, subsequent requests will fail. Restarting the node or re-authenticating may help.
  • Error messages returned from the SAP API are passed through in the output under the error key; review these messages for specific causes.
