Provide EDI exchange templates to control input/output records contents.
Provides following models:
- EDI exchange output template, generates output using QWeb templates
- [TODO] EDI exchange input template
In order to use it, the echange type must have the handler: Exchange Template Handler for EDI
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you define reusable templates that control the content of outgoing EDI exchange records, using QWeb views, reports or JSON code snippets, and link them to EDI exchange types.
This module adds a new screen, EDI Exchange Templates, under the EDI configuration menu, where you create templates that decide what an outgoing EDI file or message will contain.
Each template has a name, a code, an EDI backend type, an optional backend, an output type (for example xml or json) and a generator: - Qweb Template: pick an existing QWeb view and edit its architecture directly in the form; the output can be prettified for XML. - Report: pick a report action and render it for the related records. - JSON: build the payload with a small Python code snippet.
A code snippet area with inline documentation lets you compute extra values; for JSON the snippet must return a dictionary with a payload key. Templates can also call other templates by code.
On EDI exchange types you can now choose an Exchange Template and a list of Allowed Templates. A check prevents selecting a template that is not allowed for that type. When an exchange is generated, the system first uses the template set on the type, otherwise it looks for a matching template by backend type and allowed exchange type, preferring templates restricted to that type. If nothing is found, generation fails with a clear error. The module also adds a handler, Exchange Template Handler for EDI, which must be selected on the exchange type for this mechanism to run.
