Overview

This node integrates with the Tiny ERP system to manage products and their variations. Specifically, the Delete Variation operation allows users to remove a specific variation of a product by providing the product's ID and the variation's ID.

Typical use cases include:

  • Cleaning up outdated or discontinued product variations.
  • Managing inventory by removing incorrect or duplicate variations.
  • Automating product catalog maintenance workflows.

For example, if a product has multiple size or color variations and one is no longer available, this operation can delete that particular variation from the product in Tiny ERP.

Properties

Name Meaning
Product ID The unique identifier of the product from which a variation will be deleted.
Variation ID The unique identifier of the specific product variation to delete.

Output

The output JSON object confirms the success of the deletion operation and echoes back the productId and variationId that were processed. It has the following structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "productId": 123,
  "variationId": 456
}
  • success: Boolean indicating whether the deletion was successful.
  • productId: The ID of the product associated with the deleted variation.
  • variationId: The ID of the deleted variation.

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Tiny ERP API.
  • Needs an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials within n8n.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with Tiny ERP endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Providing invalid or non-existent productId or variationId will cause errors.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent communication with the Tiny ERP API.
    • Insufficient permissions on the API key may block deletion operations.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The operation \"deleteVariation\" is not supported!" — This indicates an unsupported operation was requested; ensure the correct operation name is used.
    • "The resource \"product\" is not supported!" — Indicates an invalid resource selection.
    • API errors returned from Tiny ERP (e.g., 404 Not Found) typically mean the product or variation does not exist.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify that the Product ID and Variation ID are correct and exist in Tiny ERP.
    • Check API credentials and permissions.
    • Ensure network access to the Tiny ERP API endpoint.
    • Use the node’s "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
