AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds XE.com as an exchange rate provider so Odoo can automatically fetch daily and historical currency rates from the XE.com website and store them as currency rates.

This module extends the currency rate update feature by adding XE.com as a new source of exchange rates. Users choose it in the provider configuration screen, where the service list now includes "XE.com".

Once a provider is set to XE.com, Odoo can retrieve rates for a large list of currencies, including common ones like USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD and JPY, plus many others and some cryptocurrencies.

  • If the requested date is today or later, the module fetches the current rates for the chosen base currency.
  • If the requested date is in the past, it fetches historical rates day by day for the whole date range.
  • Rates are read from the public XE.com currency table page and saved as currency rates, so they can be used by the standard rate update process.

If XE.com cannot be reached or returns an error, the user sees a clear message asking them to contact the administrator instead of a technical error.

The module only touches the exchange rate provider configuration (res.currency.rate.provider); it does not add menus of its own. It relies on the base currency rate update module for scheduling and storing the rates.
