  • Creation of the 14.0 branches
    Hi folks,

    For the creation of the 14.0 branches in OCA repos, the plan is to use the new addons repository template that was created during the Spanish OCA days back in May: https://github.com/OCA/oca-addons-repo-template

    There a few questions to answer beforehand, so if you are interested in that topic, head to https://github.com/OCA/oca-addons-repo-template/issues/7 to follow and comment there.

    Best regards,

    -sbi

  • User friendly interface for managing translations from user point of view
    Hello,
    
    we have some description fields in our custom models we need to get
    translated.
    I know everything about the standard odoo mechanism, but I’m thinking
    about something more maintainable by end users.
    
    So what I’m looking for is a more user friendly interface for users to
    access the stored translations for a field.
    More user friendly than switching their own language preference or going
    into edit mode and press this little globe button that leads to
    ir.translation.
    
    Do you know something like that?
    Maybe has anybody already written widgets for this?
    I could imagine something similiar like this globe button, but also
    vissible in read mode, opening a popup for changing the language only
    for that field for a moment, or something like that.
    
    Any hinds?
    
    Thanks, regards, Peter

  • odoo as oauth2 provider
    Hello everyone,
    
    Do you know how I can set up Odoo to act as an OAuth provider, in the
    case I have at hand, this is to allow SSO from an external website of my
    customer.
    
    Thanks

  • Bank Statement Reconciliation with multiple matching fields.
    Dear Community

    I need some help. I have invoices, with invoice lines with an extra "Ref" field to be used for matching bank statements line reconciliation later on.

    With standard Odoo, when do reconcile invoice with Bank Statement (line will also has extra "Ref" field), we can only reconcile by "Partner".

    Are there module in OCA that help matching by "Partner" and "Ref" ?

    Thanks!

  • Editing/Viewing attachments (mainly Word and Excel) directly on server without the need to download locally

    Hello,

     

    I am investigating a possibility of allowing somehow editing and viewing of attachments without the need to download and reupload them locally. I would like for Odoo to replace any local storage and save users from need to download/upload the files. DMS module comes to mind as a good base for orgnaizing that. I can see multiple building blocks for this but I am interested if anyone has taken this idea any further. Some of the possible building blocks could be:

     

     

    I was able to access demo of Odoo 14.0 Enterprise with new possibility to create "live" spreadsheets. Don't know how that is done (is it 14.0's module google_spreadsheets?) but that won't allow for opening your own Excel nor Word files :-(

     

    Has anyone attempted anything like this succesfully? Can you give any pointers please? Thank you

     

    Best regards

  • Reconcile: module to ignore "amount in transaction currency"?
    Dear community,
    
    Sometimes statements contain amount in transaction currency on transactions that should be reconciled by amount, not amount_currency. Is there a module that allows that?
    
    Kind regards,

  • [26132] Status of the EBICS Integration
    Dear fellow Odooers, 
    
    being asked by a customer and coming across FinTech and banking again i
    stumbled on the EBICS standard and tried to make sense of the current
    implementation status in Europe / Germany and the overall
    functionality. 
    
    As i have read, French as well as Swiss banks (among the Germans) are
    following this bank integration standard and slowley but constantly
    replace their older HBCI / FinTS interfaces in favor of EBICS.
    
    However, at least for Germany i found the bank infrastructure quite
    underdeveloped. For instance only German DZ-Bank seems to officially
    offer a sandbox to test the integration and only to their customers. 
    
    I therefore wonder if there is any partner out there (maybe the folks
    at Akretion and Noviat know) that is using the integration with a
    German bank (and if so against which test environment has it been
    tested)? 
    
    I saw that Zürcher Kantonalbank of Switzerland has a test environment
    but obviously doesn't follow the whole standard, so that is not really
    useful for the standard case (which should hopefully be applied in
    Germany) https://github.com/OCA/bank-payment/issues/465 
    
    As far as i can see the implementation can for now hand in SEPA
    mandates to banks, but does it also receive a list of payments for SEPA
    as well as NON-SEPA payments from the bank to be reconciled with open
    invoices or is that still something that needs to be done manually
    (with flat files)?
    
    Thanks for any repsonse in that regards
    
    Cheers Frederik

  • New Discord Group for OCA
    Dear OCA Contributors,

    In preparation for the upcoming OCA Days we have created a new Discord Group intended to facilitate the communication during the event.

    We think that this tool can also be useful after the event, as a platform for contributors to communicate with each other. The system allows to maintain multiple channels, that can be created on request.

    We have activated a temporary invitation URL that you can use to request access to the group https://discord.gg/tNby4ku. Please feel free to join! In order to facilitate the identification, we would appreciate it if you could use the same name as your github account, perhaps followed by the company name if it provides more clarification.

    Once the OCA Days are over we will close this link in order to avoid unnecessary spam, and you will be able to request access by sending an email to discord-membership@odoo-community.org.

    I'm looking forward to meeting you all at the OCA Discord Group!

  • Internal Transfer from Reconcile
    Dear community,
    
    Is there a way to create Internal Transfers from the reconciling mode?

  • Currency exchange as Internal Transfer reconcile
    Dear community,
    
    I’m struggling to figure out the proper way to reconcile following case:
    
    There’s Bank Account A (USD) with balance of 0 USD and Bank Account B (EUR) with balance of 10 EUR. I do a currency exchange with online banking and it becomes 11.79 USD and 0 EUR.
    I’m recording this transaction as Internal Transfer in Odoo, transferring 10 EUR from Bank Account B (EUR) to Bank Account A (USD). I can reconcile that in EUR journal since 10 EUR is 10 EUR, but when I try to reconcile USD journal, it has 11.79 USD transaction (from bank statement) but Odoo uses own exchange rate and suggests that there was an operation for 11.81 USD.
    
    I’d expect either to be able to provide own rate (in Internal Transfer), but that’s not really correct. Or the difference to be recorded as realized gain/loss?
    
    What to do in this case?

  • Module for charging the cost of product return by the customer.
    Hi Community,

    I am looking for a module to apply charges on customer returns.
    The idea is :
    * to be able to specify per customer if return fees are applicable.
    * to generate if necessary an invoice when running the return wizard. (the cost will be computed per returned product regardless of the number of units of the same product returned).

    I have not found a module in OCA covering this kind of need. Do you know if such a module already exists?

    target version is Odoo 10.0

    Regards,

    Laurent Mignon

  • Projects - send one invoice per customer
    Hello Contributors,
    
    I have a requirement that, as far as i can see, there are no OCA modules 
    available to help with.
    
    We are billing time on projects.
    Out of the box, Odoo is capable of generating one invoices for each project.
    
    I would like to be able to send out invoices by customer.
    So if a customer has two active projects, he would get a single invoice 
    for both of them.
    
    Any suggestions?
    
    Thanks

  • Robust renaming in code
    Hi,
    
    I have a question that frequently arrises due to customer requests and I
    never found a really nice solution for, despite this seams to be so
    obvious need for customization.
    
    How do I rename stuff (e.g. Entry from ir.ui.menu) defined in other
    modules from within my customized module.
    
    I know the various places in the UI, but I’m looking for a robust way to
    define this in code.
    
    It tried to just rename the entry in XML like so:
    
    ```
        
            Verkaufsprojekte
        
    ```
    
    This is working, but the result doesn’t show up, because in the german
    translation the original translated term is still used.
    
    The changed value however doesn't appear in my modules .pot files on
    export. So it doesn’t seam to be easily possible to change the
    translated terms from my module.
    
    One solution I came up with is to explicitly change the term in
    ir_translation using XML, but this is a bit cumbersome.
    
    ```
        
            
            
        
    ```
    
    How did you handle this?
    
    Is there any other easy and robust, code based option for globally
    renaming terms (e.g. menu entries) from within a customization module?
    
    Thanks. Regards, Peter

  • Best module combination for maintenance of sold equipment
    Hello,
    
    we are a company that designs, sells, installs and maintains professional kitchen equipment (big cooking machines, ovens, washing machines, ...) for hotels, restaurants, canteens, ... We are currently in process of deploying Odoo and I am struggling a bit with the maintenance part of the scenario. The most common scenario is we do the design, purchase the equipment from manufacturer, sell it to customer and do provide in-warranty and out-of-warranty on-demand maintenance. Sometimes we also have an agreement for periodic preventive maintenance.
    
    So far we have been experimenting with Field Service Management (Enterprise version) as a way to track and plan the on-demand maintenance. This however has no notion of customer's equipment that would somehow be linked to sold products. On the other hand it has support for creating offers/inoices for spare parts/work/...
    
    I have been checking Maintenance module that has support for on-demand and cyclical maintenance and also allows for definition of equipment and locations. But that one is meant for "internal" equipment and locations (not customer's) and also it is not linked in any way with sold products. No support (AFAICT) for offers/invoices.
    
    To make things even more complicated we sometimes support equipment that we didn't sell or sold in the past (before Odoo) so there is no record of that in our system and we need to put it there.
    
    We want/need to track the record of maintenance task done in the past.
    
    Now in the process of deploying the solution I became a bit of Odoo developer so I can develop some simpler modules and I also did some migrations of OCA modules. So I could develop some integration of needed.
    
    What would be your suggestion for this scenario? I guess this is not so non-standard thing. Any help/suggestion is welcome.
    
    Best regards

  • Management of chatter with channels
    Hi Community,
    
    In V11CE, I’m wondering how community members manage changes to the followers on particular objects over extended periods of time.
    
    In my organisation, we have a considerable number of objects (Projects, Tasks, Opportunities) that run for long periods of time (some several years) with team members coming and going, and consequently, changes to the lists of followers for each object being required.  
    
    Currently that’s a time consuming task of going through each of these objects, removing and adding followers as I go.
    
    I understand that channels can be added to the list of followers, and that members can be added/removed to the channel, but the problem with that is that messages sent via the channels don’t land in the channel members inboxes (the place where they’re most likely to see messages).  Instead, they need to proactively go to the channel and look for new messages.
    
    Is there some module or alternative way to get channel messages ‘mirrored’ to the inboxes of channel members, or is there some other way that the community is managing this scenario?
    
    We currently handle all of our internal communication in Odoo, rather than via email, but that could be changed if there was good reason.
    
    I’m also interested to know if management of chatter has improved in later versions?
    
    Thanks in advance,
