--- name: odoo-edi-connector-297567bf9641 description: "Guide for implementing EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) with Odoo: X12, EDIFACT document mapping, partner onboarding, and automated order processing." risk: unknown source: community --- # Odoo EDI Connector ## Overview Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the standard for automated B2B document exchange — purchase orders, invoices, ASNs (Advance Shipping Notices). This skill guides you through mapping EDI transactions (ANSI X12 or EDIFACT) to Odoo business objects, setting up trading partner configurations, and automating inbound/outbound document flows. ## When to Use This Skill - A retail partner requires EDI 850 (Purchase Orders) to do business with you. - You need to send EDI 856 (ASN) when goods are shipped. - Automating EDI 810 (Invoice) generation from Odoo confirmed deliveries. - Mapping EDI fields to Odoo fields for a new trading partner. ## How It Works 1. **Activate**: Mention `@odoo-edi-connector` and specify the EDI transaction set and trading partner. 2. **Map**: Receive a complete field mapping table between EDI segments and Odoo fields. 3. **Automate**: Get Python code to parse incoming EDI files and create Odoo records. ## EDI ↔ Odoo Object Mapping | EDI Transaction | Odoo Object | |---|---| | 850 Purchase Order | `sale.order` (inbound customer PO) | | 855 PO Acknowledgment | Confirmation email / SO confirmation | | 856 ASN (Advance Ship Notice) | `stock.picking` (delivery order) | | 810 Invoice | `account.move` (customer invoice) | | 846 Inventory Inquiry | `product.product` stock levels | | 997 Functional Acknowledgment | Automated receipt confirmation | ## Examples ### Example 1: Parse EDI 850 and Create Odoo Sale Order (Python) ```python from pyx12 import x12file # pip install pyx12 from datetime import datetime import xmlrpc.client import os odoo_url = os.getenv("ODOO_URL") db = os.getenv("ODOO_DB") pwd = os.getenv("ODOO_API_KEY") uid = int(os.getenv("ODOO_UID", "2")) models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f"{odoo_url}/xmlrpc/2/object") def process_850(edi_file_path): """Parse X12 850 Purchase Order and create Odoo Sale Order""" with x12file.X12File(edi_file_path) as f: for transaction in f.get_transaction_sets(): # Extract header info (BEG segment) po_number = transaction['BEG'][3] # Purchase Order Number po_date = transaction['BEG'][5] # Purchase Order Date # IDEMPOTENCY CHECK: Verify PO doesn't already exist in Odoo existing = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'sale.order', 'search', [ [['client_order_ref', '=', po_number]] ]) if existing: print(f"Skipping: PO {po_number} already exists.") continue # Extract partner (N1 segment — Buyer) # Extract partner (N1 segment — Buyer) partner_name = transaction.get_segment('N1')[2] if transaction.get_segment('N1') else "Unknown" # Find partner in Odoo partner = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'search', [[['name', 'ilike', partner_name]]]) if not partner: print(f"Error: Partner '{partner_name}' not found. Skipping transaction.") continue partner_id = partner[0] # Extract line items (PO1 segments) order_lines = [] for po1 in transaction.get_segments('PO1'): sku = po1[7] # Product ID qty = float(po1[2]) price = float(po1[4]) product = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'product.product', 'search', [[['default_code', '=', sku]]]) if product: order_lines.append((0, 0, { 'product_id': product[0], 'product_uom_qty': qty, 'price_unit': price, })) # Create Sale Order if partner_id and order_lines: models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'sale.order', 'create', [{ 'partner_id': partner_id, 'client_order_ref': po_number, 'order_line': order_lines, }]) ``` ### Example 2: Send EDI 997 Acknowledgment ```python def generate_997(isa_control, gs_control, transaction_control): """Generate a functional acknowledgment for received EDI""" today = datetime.now().strftime('%y%m%d') return f"""ISA*00* *00* *ZZ*YOURISAID *ZZ*PARTNERISAID *{today}*1200*^*00501*{isa_control}*0*P*>~ GS*FA*YOURGID*PARTNERGID*{today}*1200*{gs_control}*X*005010X231A1~ ST*997*0001~ AK1*PO*{gs_control}~ AK9*A*1*1*1~ SE*4*0001~ GE*1*{gs_control}~ IEA*1*{isa_control}~""" ``` ## Best Practices - ✅ **Do:** Store every raw EDI transaction in an audit log table before processing. - ✅ **Do:** Always send a **997 Functional Acknowledgment** within 24 hours of receiving a transaction. - ✅ **Do:** Negotiate a test cycle with trading partners before going live — use test ISA qualifier `T`. - ❌ **Don't:** Process EDI files synchronously in web requests — queue them for async processing. - ❌ **Don't:** Hardcode trading partner qualifiers — store them in a configuration table per partner. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing. --- Source attribution: ASoudy Original project: https://github.com/ASoudy/AGS/blob/cd1d94757d590093507ef8ac26299eab8bc20478/AGAS/plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/odoo-edi-connector/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Antigravity User Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
