Without having to code to create excel file, developer do, - Create menu, action, wizard, model, view a normal Odoo development. - Design excel template using standard Excel application, e.g., colors, fonts, formulas, etc. - Instruct how the data will be located in Excel with simple dictionary instruction or from Odoo UI. - Odoo will combine instruction with excel template, and result in final excel file. **Table of contents** .. contents:: :local: Installation ============ To install this module, you need to install following python library, **xlrd, xlwt, openpyxl**. Then, simply install **excel_import_export**. For samples, install **excel_import_export_sample**. Usage ===== This module contain pre-defined function and wizards to make exporting, importing and reporting easy. At the heart of this module, there are 2 `main methods` - ``self.env['xlsx.export'].export_xlsx(...)`` - ``self.env['xlsx.import'].import_xlsx(...)`` For reporting, also call `export_xlsx(...)` but through following method - ``self.env['xslx.report'].report_xlsx(...)`` After install this module, go to Settings > Excel Import/Export > XLSX Templates, this is where the key component located. As this module provide tools, it is best to explain as use cases. For example use cases, please install **excel_import_export_sample** **Use Case 1:** Export/Import Excel on existing document This add export/import action menus in existing document (example - excel_import_export_sample/import_export_sale_order) 1. Create export action menu on document, with res_model="export.xlsx.wizard" and src_model="", and context['template_domain'] to locate the right template -- actions.xml 2. Create import action menu on document, with res_model="import.xlsx.wizard" and src_model="", and context['template_domain'] to locate the right template -- action.xml 3. Create/Design Excel Template File (.xlsx), in the template, name the underlining tab used for export/import -- .xlsx 4. Create instruction dictionary for export/import in xlsx.template model -- templates.xml **Use Case 2:** Import Excel Files With menu wizard to create new documents (example - excel_import_export_sample/import_sale_orders) 1. Create report menu with search wizard, res_model="import.xlsx.wizard" and context['template_domain'] to locate the right template -- menu_action.xml 2. Create Excel Template File (.xlsx), in the template, name the underlining tab used for import -- .xlsx 3. Create instruction dictionary for import in xlsx.template model -- templates.xml **Use Case 3:** Create Excel Report This create report menu with criteria wizard. (example - excel_import_export_sample/report_sale_order) 1. Create report's menu, action, and add context['template_domain'] to locate the right template for this report -- .xml 2. Create report's wizard for search criteria. The view inherits ``excel_import_export.xlsx_report_view`` and mode="primary". In this view, you only need to add criteria fields, the rest will reuse from interited view -- 3. Create report model as models.Transient, then define search criteria fields, and get reporing data into ``results`` field -- .py 4. Create/Design Excel Template File (.xlsx), in the template, name the underlining tab used for report results -- .xlsx 5. Create instruction dictionary for report in xlsx.template model -- templates.xml Known issues / Roadmap ====================== - Module extension e.g., excel_import_export_async, that add ability to execute as async process. - Ability to add contextual action in XLSX Tempalte, e.g., Add import action, Add export action. In similar manner as in Server Action. Changelog ========= 12.0.1.0.0 (2019-02-24) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Start of the history Bug Tracker =========== Bugs are tracked on `GitHub Issues `_.
