AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds the Bank of Thailand (BOT) as an exchange rate provider in Odoo, so companies using THB can automatically download daily BOT rates and update their currencies.

This module plugs the Bank of Thailand into Odoo's currency rate update system. Once installed, you can choose "Bank of Thailand" as the service on a currency rate provider and Odoo will fetch daily average exchange rates from the BOT gateway.

  • In Settings, a new "BOT Provider" section lets you enter your BOT token (stored per company).
  • On each currency, two new fields appear: the BOT currency code (filled automatically from the currency name) and the BOT rate type, where you pick Mid Rate, Selling Rate, Buying Sight Rate or Buying Transfer Rate (Mid Rate by default).
  • Currencies can be grouped by BOT rate type in the currency list search.

Business rules enforced by the code: the provider only works when the company's base currency is THB, otherwise an error is raised; a BOT token must be set; and if the requested period is later than the BOT's last update date, an error shows that date. The module supports a fixed list of currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, and many more) and normalises the Japanese yen, which BOT quotes per 100 units, to a per-1 rate. A warning is displayed on the provider form when a non-THB base currency is used, because cross rates are then recalculated and may differ from real market rates.
