SAP B1 Service Layer 3 - CRM

Overview

This node interacts with the SAP Business One Service Layer 3 CRM API to perform various operations on CRM resources, including Sales Opportunities. Specifically, for the "Sales Opportunity" resource and the "Get by Key" operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single sales opportunity identified by a unique key (DocEntry).

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Fetching detailed data of a specific sales opportunity for reporting or processing.
• Integrating SAP B1 sales opportunity data into other systems or workflows.
• Automating follow-up actions based on the status or details of a particular sales opportunity.

For example, you might use this node to get the current status and details of a sales opportunity before deciding whether to update it or trigger notifications.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of items, each containing a json field with the response from the SAP B1 Service Layer API.

• For the "Get by Key" operation on Sales Opportunity, the json output contains the full JSON representation of the requested sales opportunity as returned by the SAP B1 API.
• If an error occurs during the request, the output's json will contain an error field with the error message.
• The node does not output binary data.

Example output structure:

{
  "json": {
    "DocEntry": 123,
    "Name": "Opportunity Name",
    "Status": "Open",
    "CustomerCode": "C0001",
    // ... other sales opportunity fields ...
  }
}

Dependencies

• Requires connection credentials to the SAP Business One Service Layer API, including:
  • Base URL of the SAP B1 Service Layer.
  • Username and password for authentication.
  • Company database name.
• The node authenticates by sending a login POST request to the /Login endpoint and uses cookies for session management.
• No additional external dependencies beyond the SAP B1 Service Layer API.

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 DocEntry: If the specified key does not exist, the API may return an error or empty result. Ensure the DocEntry value is valid and exists in SAP B1.
• Network issues: Connection timeouts or SSL errors can 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 ensured.
• API errors: Any API error responses are captured and returned in the output under the error field. Review these messages to diagnose issues such as permission problems or malformed requests.
