Assembly → Get History

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Zoho Inventory API to manage assemblies related to composite items. Specifically, the Get History operation under the Assembly resource retrieves the assembly history for a given composite item. This is useful for tracking all past assembly records of a composite item, such as when and how many units were assembled over time.

Practical scenarios include:

  • Auditing production or assembly activities for composite products.
  • Monitoring inventory changes due to assembly operations.
  • Generating reports on assembly frequency and quantities for manufacturing or stock management.

Properties

Name Meaning
Composite Item ID The unique identifier of the composite item whose assembly history you want to retrieve.

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects, each representing an individual assembly record associated with the specified composite item. Each object contains details about a single assembly event, such as quantity assembled, date, reference number, and other relevant metadata provided by Zoho Inventory.

Example structure of one assembly record (fields may vary):

{
  "assembly_id": "string",
  "composite_item_id": "string",
  "quantity_assembled": number,
  "date": "ISO8601 datetime string",
  "reference_number": "string",
  ...
}

No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires a valid OAuth2 API authentication token configured in n8n for Zoho Inventory.
  • The Zoho Inventory organization ID must be set within the credentials.
  • Internet access to Zoho Inventory API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the Zoho Inventory OAuth2 credentials are properly configured in n8n.
  • Organization ID Missing: An error indicating the organization ID is missing means it has not been set in the credential configuration. Set the organization ID found in Zoho Inventory under Settings → Organization Profile.
  • API Errors: If the API returns errors, check the composite item ID is correct and exists in your Zoho Inventory account.
  • Empty Results: If no assembly history is returned, verify that the composite item has assembly records in Zoho Inventory.
