  • Buy in one UOM and sell many UOM 
    Hello:

My customer buys beverages (for example Whisky) in 0,70 cl bottles, and sale in 3 different measures, for example short, medium and large, with 3 different prices. Of course I have defined this 4 UOM in Odoo, bottles (0,7 L) and short (/20), medium (/12) and large (/7).

They want to control stock, as they know how many measures of each kind there is in a bottle. If I setup 3 different products with 3 different sale UOM I must make 3 different inputs in warehouse for each product. If I setup variants, I can have 3 different prices, but when I sell, Odoo reduce the stock by the sale UOM in the product, I can´t have a different UOM in each variant.

What can I do to have 3 different sale prices, only 1 buy product, and control stock at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

      Could one sell drinks that are defined by their ingredients and create them on demand with a wizard?

      Liters or centi/mili-liters are UOMs. Large, medium, short are product packaging where you define the quantity. Then configure to sell only by packaging.
      For the price, find a way to define a price per packaging, or do like Cyril is suggesting with several products.

      Hello

      This can be done in Standard Odoo CE by using BOM (kit type).

      Then about UOM, you can have a 'bottle of 70cl' (type volume is better for end user because he might think in 'cl') and you can use units UOM for your small/medium/large products.
      The BOM makes the job afterwards

      Best regards

  • Survey XLSX module cannot be found on OCA shop page.
    Here is a brief report:

    When trying to open the Survey XLSX module on the OCA shop page, the following error occurs:
    "403: Forbidden
    The page you were looking for could not be authorized.
    Error message:
    Due to security restrictions, you are not allowed to access 'Product Template' (product.template) records.
    Contact your administrator to request access if necessary."

    However, the module can be viewed on the Odoo app store:
    https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/survey_xlsx

    It is also available on GitHub:
    https://github.com/OCA/survey

    Is there any specific reason why it is not displayed on the OCA shop page?

  • [37226] Imap Sent Mails 
    Dear OCA,

talking to a lead about Sales and Distribution, we again (as many times 
in the past) again came across Odoos somewhat weired way to reinterpret 
/ resuse traditional E-Mail flows (what we all know, use, and are 
familiar with by using Imap-Servers / Exchange and some form of E-Mail 
clients (Outlook / Thunderbird). One of the weird things (among many) is 
that Odoo (apart from the technical sent mail queue) doesn't make us of 
the features (store sent mail in an IMAP Folder) as it sents Mail 
through SMTP but not implements the traditional functionality of an 
E-Mail client to allow storing such mail in an configurable Imap Folder. 
By searching a solution for that i came across a 3rd party module

https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/14.0/base_store_sent_emails

I thought to myself that we are certainly not the only ones who have 
this issue. So my question is. Is it really such an exotic feature that 
nobody in the OCA ever even ideated on such a functionality or is it 
worthless (i am simply to conservative to change my mind). Or even 
better does some publicly available concept, module, code exist that i 
am just not aware of ?

Any thoughts, ideas on that

Best and thanks for any reply upfront

Frederik

      Hi Michael,

      thank you. That is a pretty good summary of the technical options to solve the "sent mail / IMAP" problem. I consider the "Odoo Module" option 3) the best because. Basically that is also what Sergio proposed in his old 8.0 PR just some minutes ago. However, all in all this is just one of the problems using Odoo for E-Mail. 

      Best and have a nice weekend

      Frederik

      Hi Frederik,

      Indeed, Odoo’s mail sending mechanism does not support IMAP's "Append" command, which is typically used to store outgoing messages in an IMAP folder.
      Odoo does not store sent emails in an IMAP folder by default because it acts as an SMTP sender, not a full-fledged email client. 

      Odoo's Sent Emails Exist Only in the technical Mail Queue (Backend):
      • Odoo logs sent emails in its internal database (mail.mail model).
      • These emails can be viewed within Odoo under Messaging > Emails or inside records like Sales Orders, Invoices, and Support Tickets.
      • However, these emails are not stored in an external IMAP mail folder.

      No Configurable IMAP Folder for Sent Emails:

      • Traditional email clients (e.g., Thunderbird, Outlook) allow users to specify an IMAP folder where sent emails should be saved.
      • Odoo does not provide an option to configure an external IMAP folder for storing sent messages.

      WORKAROUNDs
      Since Odoo does not natively store sent mail in IMAP, we can consider these alternatives:

      1. Use an SMTP Server That Automatically Copies Sent Mail to IMAP ("Sent" Folder)

        • Some SMTP providers (e.g., Gmail, Office 365) automatically store a copy of outgoing emails in the "Sent" folder when sending via SMTP.
        • If using Postfix, you can configure it to BCC outgoing emails to an IMAP mailbox.

        Postfix Example (Adding BCC for Sent Emails):
        sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
        Add:  sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/bcc_map

        Create the BCC mapping file: 
        sudo nano /etc/postfix/bcc_map
        Add: @yourdomain.com archive@yourdomain.com

        Apply changes:
        sudo postmap /etc/postfix/bcc_map
        sudo systemctl restart postfix

      2. Use Odoo's "Aliases" Feature to Auto-Forward Sent Emails to an IMAP Folder

        • You can create an email alias in Odoo to automatically forward sent emails to a dedicated IMAP folder.
        • This workaround requires configuring mail forwarding on the SMTP server.

      3. Custom Odoo Module to Append Emails to IMAP "Sent" Folder

        • A custom Odoo module could be developed to use IMAP's APPEND command to store outgoing messages in a specified folder.


      Test the above workarounds and share the knowledge.

      Let me know if you, or somebody else, like to receive the workaround for Microsoft Exchange example.

      Hi Frederik,

      ok, I better understand now. Just recently I sent an email campaign and noticed that it triggered responses (direct and indirect) to all sorts of models. So that nothing was missed, I went to technical settings > Discuss > Messages where I grouped by model and author, and browsed. 

      During this process, I found a couple of missed important messages from a month ago. This seems to better relate to your point.

      It was a clumsy experience and could quite easily be served with a better view.

      Best wishes,

      Stuart.

      Hi Stuart,

      well, i think the way that you are proposing (using a subdomain) is something that is quite common (and is or at least was part of the formal documentation of Odoo even). However, still the "experience" using Mail to me is a little ackward (as of today). What i kind of dislike, is that even if you are able to "link" every mail to the chatter of practically every object in Odoo you don't really have a streamline view anywhere that allows you to see what mail came in or was sent out by or to a certain contact. Apart from that, i like to use inline quote in my mail threads and that is also something that just doesn't work very well even if you take the appropopriate OCA module. Of course copying and piping thinks with low level infrastructure means inside Linux / the Mailstack is an option but that way it becomes a pretty fragile architecture after all.

      All in all i always wonder if i am the only Person in the Odoo Community that isn't especially thrilled by the way Odoo handles E-Mail or do people just don't talk too much about it ?

      Thanks a lot for your helpful comments, anyway

      Dear Frederik,

      I find the easiest way to set up email for Odoo is to create a subdomain for Odoo emails using a catch-all or aliases, separate from the chat emails of the people using mail clients.

      However if you want to have messages stored in an IMAP store, and depending on your familiarity with Linux, you could use various tools to forward or duplicate copies at transmission time. Such messages could then be delivered to IMAP boxes through pipemail, procmail, exim etc - a mail client can subscribe to the box and access the messages.

      The recipe would vary depending on exactly what you wanted to achieve, and bear in mind that outbound and inbound have separate life-cycles.

      Best wishes,

      Stuart.

    • Re: [37226] Imap Sent Mails

      Hi Stuart,

      well, i think the way that you are proposing (using a subdomain) is something that is quite common (and is or at least was part of the formal documentation of Odoo even). However, still the "experience" using Mail to me is a little ackward (as of today). What i kind of dislike, is that even if you are able to "link" every mail to the chatter of practically every object in Odoo you don't really have a streamline view anywhere that allows you to see what mail came in or was sent out by or to a certain contact. Apart from that, i like to use inline quote in my mail threads and that is also something that just doesn't work very well even if you take the appropopriate OCA module. Of course copying and piping thinks with low level infrastructure means inside Linux / the Mailstack is an option but that way it becomes a pretty fragile architecture after all.

      All in all i always wonder if i am the only Person in the Odoo Community that isn't especially thrilled by the way Odoo handles E-Mail or do people just don't talk too much about it ?

      Thanks a lot for your helpful comments, anyway

      Cheers Frederik

  • Connecting weight scales to Odoo
    Hello,

    I'm looking into connecting weight scales to Odoo, wither for warehouse operations or for quality controls.
    For example, the Mettler-Toledo brand.

    I wonder if we have something under the OCA for this?
    Would PyWebDriver (https://github.com/pywebdriver/pywebdriver) be helpful here?

    Thank you for sharing!

  • Aletrnative to mrp_workorder (MRP II) Shop Floor application?

    Hello,


    is there any alternative to Enterprise's mrp_workorder (MRP II) Shop Floor application? I couldn't find any. There is a set of shopfloor modules in WMS repo but these seem to server warehouse scenarios, not manufacturing. Any advice is greatly welcome.


    Best regards

      What is missing for your shop floor requirements?

      We had issues with several of the basic assumptions for manufacturing, but these were easy to resolve (in part with a custom module that addressed the issues with other base modules).

    • RE: Aletrnative to mrp_workorder (MRP II) Shop Floor application?

      Hi Radovan

       

      My prospect is also looking for a Shop Floor alternative in Community Edition. The market seems to have a demand for it.

       

      In my case, this prospect (a Finnish branch of a multinational corporation) has only seven users. They would have a two-tier ERP strategy: avoid expanding SAP and replace a legacy application with the Odoo manufacturing and shop floor apps. The corporation might implement the solution in other countries if it is successful.

       

      Only for seven users (who would, after all, use only the manufacturing app) does the Enterprise license cost over 3000 EUR per year. Thus, funding for developing an OCA Shop Floor could be found by sharing the development cost with customers who have similar needs.

       

      ystävällisin terveisin / kind regards,

  • OCA pip module loaded by external organization on pypi.org
    Hi all,
    I am writing this mail even if I've already written it in OCA Discord, because I think this is a security issue, I apologize whether it's not.

    I found installed in an instance a pip from pypi.org of an OCA module upgraded there from a company outside OCA: https://pypi.org/project/odoo14-addon-stock-move-backdating/14.0.1.2.0/

    They pushed the module changed and with a different logo (almost this change made me notice it) and a link to their website. It's a bad thing that someone can put a pip there with a random code.

    I'll stop taking this pip from pypi.org or I'll take the OCA version, but what about other instances installed in this way? Or is it a deprecated way of deployment?

    In tests done on github is used the "non-OCA" version too:

    Requirement already satisfied: odoo14-addon-stock-move-backdating in /opt/odoo-venv/src/odoo14-addon-stock-move-backdating/setup/stock_move_backdating (from -r test-requirements.txt (line 6)) (14.0.1.0.2.dev2)

    while the current OCA version is  "version": "14.0.1.0.1",

      Hi Stéphane,
      thanks very much for the clarification.
      I've managed to install the OCA module version as we use a private distributor of pip packages: this is used by forcing the 14.0.1.0.1 version.
      Warmest regards,

      Hi Sergio,

      Thanks for reporting this.

      In this case, what happened is that odoo12-addon-stock_move_backdating is owned by OCA, but another company published odoo14-addon-stock_move_backdating before it was migrated in OCA.
      When later merged in OCA, the publishing to PyPI failed because OCA did not own the package.
      We were alerted by the monitoring and attempted to contact that company to resolve the issue, without success so far.

      From PyPI perspective, there is nothing wrong with that because odoo12-addon-stock_move_backdating and odoo14-addon-stock_move_backdating are two different packages.
      Since Odoo 15, the Odoo version is not part of the package name, so this kind of confusion cannot happen anymore.

      It is nevertheless important to keep in mind that anyone can publish new packages to PyPI, including Odoo addons, and when installing from PyPI (as from anywhere on the internet) one must be careful to assert the trust one places in the package owners.

      We are currently aware of 2 situations where an addon is merged in OCA and not owned by OCA on PyPI: odoo14-addon-stock_move_backdating and odoo14-addon-pos_sale_order_load.

      Additionally, since Nov 2024, to avoid merging in OCA when the name is not available on PyPI, the bot checks that the name is available before accepting the merge.

      In OCA CI, there is a mechanism in place to test only with OCA addons.

      Hi all,
      I am writing this mail even if I've already written it in OCA Discord, because I think this is a security issue, I apologize whether it's not.

      I found installed in an instance a pip from pypi.org of an OCA module upgraded there from a company outside OCA: https://pypi.org/project/odoo14-addon-stock-move-backdating/14.0.1.2.0/

      They pushed the module changed and with a different logo (almost this change made me notice it) and a link to their website. It's a bad thing that someone can put a pip there with a random code.

      I'll stop taking this pip from pypi.org or I'll take the OCA version, but what about other instances installed in this way? Or is it a deprecated way of deployment?

      In tests done on github is used the "non-OCA" version too:

      Requirement already satisfied: odoo14-addon-stock-move-backdating in /opt/odoo-venv/src/odoo14-addon-stock-move-backdating/setup/stock_move_backdating (from -r test-requirements.txt (line 6)) (14.0.1.0.2.dev2)

      while the current OCA version is  "version": "14.0.1.0.1",

  • Request for Guidance on Migrating from POS UI API v15 to v16

    I am currently working on migrating a community addon from Odoo v15 to v16 and have encountered a challenge related to the updated POS API.

    In v15, the addon interacts with the POS UI and defines custom models using Backbone.Model.extend, as shown here:

    var MyCustomModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
    // Custom model logic
});

    The goal is to create a new model at the same logic level as Order and Orderline, not to extend those models. While there are plenty of examples showing how to extend Order and Orderline, I have not found clear guidance on defining entirely new models at this level under the v16 API.

    In addition, models like Order and Orderline in v15 extended PosModel, which was accessible. However, in v16, PosModel has been made private, and PosGlobalState doesn’t seem to provide the functionality needed for this type of model creation.

    Could anyone provide guidance on:

    1. How to create a new model at the same logic level as Order and Orderline in the v16 POS API?
    2. Why was PosModel made private in v16, and is there an alternative for extending POS-related functionality?
    3. Are there updated patterns or best practices in v16 for integrating custom models into the POS framework?

    I want to ensure that this approach aligns with the design philosophy of the v16 API and avoids anti-patterns. Your advice, examples, or references to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards,

    \Rolando

    • Re: BPM On Odoo

      Hi Joel,

       

      Thank you for your prompt interest. While we have not yet created a charter document, we are in the process of developing one. I would like to outline the key advantages of building BPM processes on Odoo.

       

      1. Enhanced Process Customization

      While Odoo provides excellent built-in workflows for various business functions, BPM solutions allow for greater flexibility to design, optimize, and adapt custom workflows that align perfectly with an organization’s unique needs. having a BPM Solution could eliminate the need of greater customization.

      2. Cross-Departmental Integration

      Odoo focuses on specific modules (e.g., CRM, Inventory, HR), but BPM solutions can manage end-to-end workflows across multiple departments, ensuring seamless coordination between systems and teams.

      3. Process Automation Beyond Standard Odoo Workflows

      Odoo is excellent for managing standard workflows, but BPM adds layers of automation for complex, multi-step processes that might involve decision-making, approvals, or external integrations.

      4. Visual Process Mapping

      BPM tools often come with drag-and-drop visual designers to model processes intuitively. This visual mapping makes workflows easier to understand, modify, and manage compared to Odoo's backend workflows.

      5. Dynamic Workflow Adjustments

      Odoo workflows may require coding or module adjustments for changes. BPM tools enable real-time updates to processes without heavy technical intervention, saving time and effort during process optimization.

      6. Advanced Reporting and Analytics

      BPM systems provide detailed insights into workflow performance, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies, helping organizations make data-driven decisions. While Odoo offers reports, BPM tools often provide deeper analytics tailored to process optimization.

      7. Improved Compliance Management

      BPM tools are specifically designed to ensure processes comply with industry standards and regulations, enabling better tracking, auditing, and adherence to legal requirements.

      8. Scalability for Complex Organizations

      As businesses grow, their processes become more complex. BPM solutions offer scalability to manage workflows that involve multiple systems, geographies, or external partners, which may be beyond Odoo’s standard capabilities.

      employees can design and modify workflows on their own without IT dependency, fostering innovation and improving overall efficiency.

       

      Key Use Cases for BPM Over Odoo

      • Custom approval workflows that span multiple departments.

      • Automating regulatory compliance processes.

      • Advanced task prioritization and resource allocation.

      • Visualizing bottlenecks and optimizing operational workflows.

      • Rapid adaptation to business changes without disrupting operations.

       

      Conclusion

      While Odoo is a powerful ERP with robust standard workflows, a BPM solution complements it by adding agility, customization, and efficiency, particularly for businesses with unique or highly complex processes. Tools can bridge the gap by empowering organizations to create, manage, and optimize workflows seamlessly.

      Manish Mannan

  • Mass Import of Products with Dynamic Attributes in Odoo 17 for Sales Orders.

    I have some doubts, I am participating in a project to implement the ODOO system in version 17, I need to create products with their variants using the dynamic method, and then upload the new articles created in bulk.

    I have two specific questions:

    1. How can new items (SKUs) be uploaded en masse to a sales order, when the attributes are dynamic?

    2. Is there a template to do this?

  • Questions about ODOO v.17 - Mass creation of items in purchase orders.

    Good afternoon, Community.

    I have a question, I am participating in an implementation project of the ODOO system in version 17, I need to create products with their variants dynamically, and then upload the items in bulk, to a purchase order, my partner tells me that this is not possible, I must do it from the sales order, and then create the purchase order manually, I cannot create the items in bulk. That causes a problem for me because my purchase orders contain up to 1000 SKU´s This is a restriction that complicates my operations at the purchasing level. I want to ask you if there is a solution if there is something that we and our partner are not seeing in the process.

     

    I appreciate your support.

  • OCA Code Sprint - Brussels - 30 + 31 January
    Hello OCA Contributors,

    I hope 2025 is treating you well so far.

    I just wanted to remind you we have our code sprint in Brussels coming up on the 30th and 31st of January. Just a couple of weeks away. We thought, as people might be in town for FOSDEM we would harness the opportunity to encourage people to meet up.

    You can attend for just one day or both, completely up to you.

    The small price is just to cover lunches and refreshments.

    We will run remotely too.

    To help prepare:
    • Working document for the sprint is here. It is great to fill in beforehand to help focus the work at the event.
    • Discord Channel is here. This way our remote companions can join in too!
    We look forward to seeing those that can make it.

      That is wonderful Peter. There are a number of very experienced contributors attending too and I am sure they will give you great help onboarding.

      Virginie Dewulf our Executive Director will be in attendance as well as 2 board members, so you will be in great hands with any help/guidance needed.

      Enjoy your time.

  • archiving vendor 
    Hi!
This is more a functional question and hope this is the right channel 
for such.

We have vendors configured as "parent contact" and many of them have 
several contacts (employee) which we configure as "child contacts". In 
Purchase we address queries to an individual contact so that it is send 
to his email address directly. Now we figured if a vendor contact leaves 
the company we would like to archive the partner record in Odoo. But in 
consequence all his POs are archived too, which is not what we want 
because the history of POs is still relevant. Do you have 
recommendations how to handle this better?

Best regards
Jan

    • Re: archiving vendor 
      You are right. The PO doesn't get archived but I can't find it anymore 
in the PO list view when searching for the vendor name of an archived 
vendor. That's confusing but something we can deal with now that we know it.

      They probably just aren't searchable. I have had an open bug report with Odoo for years about not being able to import / export records with a user_id field where the user has been archived. Will be same thing.

      ​Surely someone will come up with an OCA form that covers this case, but in the meantime what I would do is set a custom field like "resigned_date" on the contact and manage the information where relevant.​

  • Odoo OpenUpgrade Wizard status ?

    Hello dear friends,

    I'm exploring the idea of using Odoo OpenUpgrade Wizard for some customer upgrade projects. From the OCA presentation, it seems like a promising tool.

    The GitLab repository appears active, with the latest release in November. However, I’m wondering if it’s mature enough for production use or if it’s still in its early stages. Is the potential of being an early adopter worth it?

    Is anyone here actively using it in their projects? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

    • Re: [SPAM] Re: Odoo OpenUpgrade Wizard status ? 
      hello,

thank you holger for mentioning your script, which i did not know about. i did not look into it yet to understand its internals, but its goal seem very similar to the one of odoo openupgrade wizard (oow for short). i would love to see an effort inside the oca to bring people together around one solution to avoid wasted efforts everywhere.

when we started the oow project with sylvain and rémy almost 3 years ago (already!), it was because of discussions between us about all the effort that is required to set up a correct environment to run openupgrade and how time-consuming mistakes can be in that process, as feedback is really slow, especially with huge databases.

at coop it easy we had a set of (bash) scripts to help run migrations and sylvain at grap had already created something more advanced in python. oow is the evolution of sylvain’s tool, with contributions mainly from rémy.

concerning its maturity, it has evolved quite a bit since its inception, and at coop it easy we’ve been using it for all of our client migrations since last year. that said, it’s not perfect: it’s quite opinionated and still a little rough around the edges (for example: debugging docker build errors requires to relaunch the command manually to see the output), but i’ve personally been using it to migrate multiple databases, most of them simultaneously using the same environment.

in summary: it’s ready for production use. feel free to use it and report issues or propose fixes and improvements.

in the long run, we think it should be part of oca’s tooling.

kind regards,

hugues

The problem of the script is to have experience in all versions to find differences in data.

      This option in huge DB's or, in most cases is incorrect. The ID of the record failed to keep it in track and business logic do not comply with odoo way of working, this way of migrate is valid only to reestart DB's

OpenUpgrade it's not very robust against malformed data or other unexpected 
conditions. So while things *can* work great without any user intervention, 
there's always a chance you'll need to adapt your data to the upgrade scripts' 
expectations (or change those), and that will usually require deep technical 
knowledge about the Odoo versions involved.

    • Re: Odoo OpenUpgrade Wizard status ? 
      I can't comment on the maturity of this tool, but wrote one myself mainly with 
the idea to make the project more accessible for new contributors:
https://github.com/hbrunn/OpenUpgrade/tree/run-migration
(you'll have to replace oca with hbrunn in the code snippet)

As for the matureness of this: Works pretty well, but as anything relying on 
OpenUpgrade it's not very robust against malformed data or other unexpected 
conditions. So while things *can* work great without any user intervention, 
there's always a chance you'll need to adapt your data to the upgrade scripts' 
expectations (or change those), and that will usually require deep technical 
knowledge about the Odoo versions involved.

      Interesting and -as per the idea- very valuable effort but it is not part of the "official" OCA tools / code as it resides in a repo outside GH. Maybe https://gitlab.com/legalsylvain and Rémy Taymans as the inventors of this can comment on its state of maturity and even better potential future ideas of injecting it to the official OCA repos

      Hello dear friends,

      I'm exploring the idea of using Odoo OpenUpgrade Wizard for some customer upgrade projects. From the OCA presentation, it seems like a promising tool.

      The GitLab repository appears active, with the latest release in November. However, I’m wondering if it’s mature enough for production use or if it’s still in its early stages. Is the potential of being an early adopter worth it?

      Is anyone here actively using it in their projects? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

  • PSC responsabilities
    Hi everyone,

    I was preparing this year Ranking of contributors and I am concerned on some information I found when crossing this data with PSCs.

    I found several PSCs that are not involved into their respective repositories. For example, I found a PSC team that has 5 members, 3 of them participated in 1% of the PR, on of them on the 15% and the last one on 98%. The repository was big (more than 400 PR on one year). In other examples, the PSC only participated in their team PRs.

    Even in my case, I think I need to improve my collaboration as a PSC.

    I think we need to improve this situation as a Community, otherwise, people will loose faith in the PSCs and how OCA works. Some ideas I can think about:

    - Control PSCs on big repositories (it is hard to set a proper KPI on small repos)
    - Demote PSCs that are not contributing properly according to this KPIs
    - Review this KPIs yearly
    - Split bigger PSCs in order to avoid too much work
    - Avoid people to be PSC of more than 3 big PSC Teams
    - Give PSCs some extra benefits (lower fees on OCA days, special t-shirts...)
    - Give PSCs recognition of their work (easy to say, hard to think about it)

    Maybe I am dramatic here, but I think it is important. WDYT? Shall we do something about it?

    Kind regards,
