Warehouse Distribution

[wlin-kencove]

When importing data from odoo to frepple, I noticed that the item distributions are not imported.

We do have stock.routes set for our products:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the odoo frepple module and setup following instructions
2. Run import data from Odoo in frepple
3. Look at Item distributions, they are not imported.

Is there perhaps a configuration/setting we are missing?

The standard connector doesn't map these indeed.

We have used customized versions of the connector in multi-warehouse configurations of some customers. This has always some level of tweaking to match the odoo setup and get the right planning results. So, we choose for now not to add this yet to the standard odoo connector.

Thank you for the quick response.

I now see from the mapping documentation that item distribution is not included.
https://frepple.com/docs/current/erp-integration/odoo-connector/installation-and-configuration.php#data-mapping-details.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I plan to PR a change to use stock.routes model for the distributions. Though I suppose it might not be general enough to include in the standard connector.

Feel free to submit your PR. We can always comment it out by default if it's not generic enough. In this way people at least have a starting point.

Note also that this is piece of data that can easily be managed manually in frepple in many cases. If all items in warehouse "shop 1" are always replenished from location "warehouse", you can define that with a single data record in frepple.

I would have expected stock.route the be the standard way of representing item distributions in at least odoo v16 onwards.

We have some rather complex replenishment relationships so cannot use a generic distribution record but is a good idea to keep in mind.
