auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Lets you define reusable templates that automatically build the content of outgoing EDI files, using QWeb views or Odoo reports, with optional Python snippets to enrich the data.
This module adds a new screen called EDI Exchange Templates, found under the EDI menu. There you create "output templates" that describe how an outgoing EDI message should be produced.
- Each template has a name, a code, an EDI backend type, an optional backend and an exchange type, plus an output type (for example xml).
- You choose a generator: either a QWeb Template or a Report. Depending on the choice, the form asks for the QWeb view or the report to use, and shows the template content in an editor.
- A code snippet field lets you add small Python instructions to prepare extra values; a help box lists the variables available (dates, user, exchange record, related record, backend, template, and helper functions).
- Templates can call other templates by code, so you can reuse smaller pieces.
- When an outgoing exchange is generated, Odoo looks for the matching template: first by backend type and exchange type, then by backend type only. If a template is found, it renders the content; otherwise the standard behaviour is used.
- For XML output, helper wrapper elements used to declare namespaces are removed from the final result.
Access is read-only for regular users and full for EDI managers. The module extends edi.backend and adds the models edi.exchange.template.output and edi.exchange.template.mixin.
