SAP B1 Service Layer 6 - Gestion Bancos

Overview

This node interacts with the SAP Business One Service Layer specifically for managing incoming payments and related banking operations. The "Get Approval Templates" operation under the "Incoming Payment" resource retrieves approval templates associated with a specific payment document. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch workflow or approval configurations tied to an incoming payment, such as verifying which approval steps are required before processing the payment.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically fetching approval templates to display or validate before approving an incoming payment.
• Integrating SAP B1 payment approvals into automated workflows that require conditional logic based on approval templates.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the approval templates linked to the specified incoming payment document. The structure corresponds to the response from the SAP B1 Service Layer API endpoint for approval templates, typically including details such as template IDs, names, approval stages, and conditions.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output snippet (conceptual):

{
  "ApprovalTemplates": [
    {
      "TemplateID": 123,
      "TemplateName": "Standard Payment Approval",
      "Stages": [
        {
          "StageID": 1,
          "Approver": "Manager",
          "Conditions": "Amount > 1000"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Dependencies

• Requires connection to an SAP Business One Service Layer instance.
• Needs valid credentials including base URL, username, password, and company database name.
• The node performs login to obtain session cookies used for subsequent API requests.
• The SAP B1 Service Layer API must support the relevant endpoints for incoming payments and approval templates.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication errors: If login fails, verify the SAP B1 credentials and company database name are correct.
• Document not found: If the provided DocEntry does not exist, the API may return an error; ensure the identifier is valid.
• Permission issues: Insufficient permissions in SAP B1 might cause failures when accessing approval templates.
• Network/SSL issues: The node disables SSL verification (rejectUnauthorized: false), but network connectivity or firewall restrictions can still block requests.
• Malformed JSON body: Although not used in this operation, other operations accept JSON bodies; ensure proper JSON formatting to avoid errors.
