Update Venezuelan official exchange rates by scraping the Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV) website.
The provider reads today's published rates for USD, EUR, CNY, TRY and RUB and stores them in Odoo as inverse rates (company currency VES).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a BCV (Banco Central de Venezuela) provider to the currency rate update tool, so Odoo can fetch today's official USD, EUR, CNY, TRY and RUB rates from the BCV website and store them as rates against the Venezuelan bolívar.
This module extends the existing currency rate update feature with a new provider option called "BCV scrapping". When selected, Odoo reads the rates published on the Banco Central de Venezuela website and saves them in Odoo.
- Supported currencies are USD, EUR, CNY, TRY and RUB. The bolívar itself (Bs, VES, VEF, VED) is treated as 1.0.
- Rates are stored as inverse rates, meaning the value is expressed relative to the company currency (VES).
- The provider only publishes today's official rate, so only the current day's rate is retrieved; the update wizard screen shows a note explaining this.
- The BCV provider is set as the default service on the currency rate provider configuration.
- If the BCV website cannot be reached or returns an error, no rates are saved and the problem is only logged.
The module touches the currency rate provider configuration (res.currency.rate.provider) and the currency rate update wizard (res.currency.rate.update.wizard), where the informational message is added. It depends on the generic currency rate update module.
