Overview

This node interacts with the BEAS Service Layer API to update (patch) a Work Order BOM (Bill of Materials) record. It is useful in scenarios where you need to modify specific fields of an existing Work Order BOM entry in an automated workflow, such as updating quantities, statuses, or other attributes without replacing the entire record.

Use Case Examples

1. Updating the quantity of a component in a Work Order BOM after a change in production requirements.
2. Modifying the status or notes of a Work Order BOM line item based on inspection results.

Output

JSON

• json - The JSON response from the BEAS Service Layer API after the patch operation, containing the updated Work Order BOM record or relevant status information.

Dependencies

• BEAS Service Layer API credentials including URL and service password for authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'docEntry' and 'lineNumber' parameters are correctly set to identify the Work Order BOM line to patch.
• Verify the JSON format of the 'patchBody' parameter to avoid JSON parsing errors.
• Check that the BEAS Service Layer API URL and credentials are correctly configured and that the session cookie is successfully obtained.
• Common error: 'Failed to get session cookie' indicates authentication failure; verify service password and API endpoint.
• If the API returns an error, the node will output the error message in the JSON response if 'Continue On Fail' is enabled.
