Import Business Document EDIFACT/D96A Order

This module adds an EDIFACT option to the existing sales order import wizard, so you can upload an EDIFACT/D96A ORDERS file and turn it into a draft quotation or sales order.

• In the import wizard you choose the EDIFACT import type; the document type field becomes editable for this type.
• A Parse button (visible to system/technical users) shows a preview of the decoded file and the parsed order data before you actually import it.
• The module checks the uploaded file: it accepts files with a .txt or .d96a extension, or files whose content starts with the EDIFACT markers UNA or UNB.
• Only ORDERS messages are accepted; any other EDIFACT message type is rejected with an error.
• Customer, supplier, ship-to and invoice-to parties are read from the file and matched to existing contacts using their GLN identification numbers. If a GLN is not found in Odoo, the import stops with an error showing the file name and the VAT reference from the file.
• Dates, currency, references (account, vendor code, promotion, VAT) and order lines (product, quantity, unit price, description) are extracted from the EDIFACT segments and used to build the order.

It works together with the sales order import wizard and the partner GLN identification feature, and touches the sale.order.import wizard and res.partner identification numbers.
