Overview
This node integrates with the sevDesk API to perform various operations related to accounting and business management. Specifically, for the "Invoice" resource and the "Is Invoice Partially Paid" operation, it checks whether a given invoice has been partially paid. This is useful in financial workflows where you need to track payment statuses of invoices, trigger follow-ups on outstanding payments, or update accounting records based on payment progress.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically flagging invoices that are only partially paid to send reminders.
- Updating customer account statuses based on partial payments.
- Generating reports on outstanding balances.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the partial payment check for the specified invoice. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields indicating payment status, amounts paid, and outstanding balance.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any associated files or documents related to the invoice, such as PDF copies.
