OpencellInstall

Overview

The Opencell Quote - Quote Quotation operation in this n8n node allows you to retrieve a detailed quotation for a specific quote version from the Opencell CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) system. This is useful for automating business processes that require fetching up-to-date quote details, such as generating customer proposals, integrating with CRM systems, or triggering follow-up actions based on quote status.

Practical examples:

• Automatically fetch and store the latest quotation details for a given quote and version.
• Integrate with document generation tools to create customer-facing proposals.
• Use in approval workflows where the full quote data is needed for decision-making.

Properties

Output

• The output will be a JSON object containing the full quotation details for the specified quote code and version, as returned by the Opencell API endpoint /opencell/api/rest/cpq/quotes/quoteVersions/{quoteCode}/{quoteVersion}/quotation.
• The structure of the output depends on the Opencell API but typically includes fields such as quote items, pricing, applicant information, status, and other relevant metadata.

Example output structure:

{
  "quote": {
    "code": "Q12345",
    "version": 2,
    "status": "DRAFT",
    "applicantAccountCode": "CUST001",
    "items": [
      {
        "productCode": "PROD1",
        "quantity": 10,
        "price": 100
      }
    ],
    "totalAmount": 1000,
    // ...other fields
  }
}

Note: Actual fields depend on your Opencell configuration.

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to an Opencell instance with the CPQ module enabled.
• Authentication: You must configure either Basic Authentication or OAuth2 credentials in n8n for the Opencell API.
• n8n Configuration: Credentials must be set up under the node's credential options.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid credentials: If authentication fails, ensure your API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.
• Quote not found: If the provided Quote Code or Quote Version does not exist, the API will return an error. Double-check these values.
• API connectivity: Network issues or incorrect Opencell API URLs can cause connection errors.

Error messages:

• "Username/password error. Error code : XXX": Check your Basic Auth credentials.
• "Host error. Error code : XXX": Verify the Opencell server address and network connectivity.
• "Invalid credentials (unknown error)": Recheck all authentication settings.
• "Resource not found" or similar: Ensure the Quote Code and Version are valid and exist in Opencell.
