Introduction

There is a project called Initial Data Load: "Within this project it is expected to develop a set of utilities, that will import into a fresh Openbravo ERP installation all the necessary data to start working with it." It's very recommendable to be familiarized with this project before continue reading. Here you have some documentation.

Invoices are not scoped in Initial Data Load project and many customers need to import invoices into their systems.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to create a module that implement an Initial Data Load extension for loading Invoices into the system. The source of the data will be CSV files in predefined format. The implementor will have to fill up these files to use the utility.


Dependencies

Fields and Validations

Everything or Nothing

The Load of the file follow the rule "Everything or Nothing". No matters how many lines were correctly processed that if only one was wrong nothing will be loaded. So if something was wrong fix the file and try again.


Document Sequence

AUTO Mode

Suppose you have two suppliers that send you purchases invoices with the same number sequence but you don't want to take care about the DocumentNo. If you load leaving the DocumentNo in blank with the Order Reference filled the second invoice of the second supplier will show you an error because system think is repeated. To fix this exists AUTO mode.

If you put the word AUTO in the DocumentNo field the invoice will be loaded without checking if there are others in the system with the same DocumentNo.

IMPORTANT: If you use Auto mode the system wont prevent you if you try to load the same file two times!!!!!!
