auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a new import format to Odoo's journal entry import tool so users can load Mercanet online payment transaction files (tab-separated, .xls extension) directly into a journal.
This module extends the journal entry import feature. On an accounting journal, a new option appears in the import type field: "Mercanet transactions.xls". Selecting it tells Odoo to use a dedicated parser for files exported from Mercanet, the online payment service.
The parser reads the file as tab-separated text even though the file name ends in .xls. It skips the first line, strips the HEADER and OPERATION prefixes from data lines, and stops at the END line. Each remaining line becomes a journal item with:
- the transaction reference used as the label,
- the amount placed in debit or credit depending on its sign (positive amounts go to credit, negative amounts to debit),
- the operation date taken from the file.
Amounts are read in cents and divided by 100, so they are stored as normal currency values. Empty amounts are treated as zero.
The module only touches account.journal by adding the new import type choice. It relies on the journal entry import base module for the actual import screen and process. No new menus, reports, scheduled actions or emails are added.
