Hello there!
I understand your frustration with importing bills into Odoo. This is actually a common confusion that many users face when first working with vendor bills.
When importing vendor bills, the "Company Name" in your import file should be mapped to the "Partner" field in Odoo, not the "Company" field. The "Company" field in Odoo refers to your own company (the one using Odoo), while the "Partner" field is where you specify the vendor/supplier.
Here's how to fix it:
1. In your import file, make sure the column containing vendor/supplier names is properly labeled
2. When mapping fields during import, match that column to "Partner" (not "Company")
3. If your vendors don't already exist in your system, enable the option to create them during import
The reason you're getting errors when selecting 'company' is because Odoo is trying to assign different companies to your bills, but the system is designed for each bill to belong to your company, with the vendor specified in the partner field.
For a smoother import process, I recommend:
- First importing your vendors as partners if they don't exist in your system
- Then importing your bills with the vendor column mapped to "Partner"
- Double-checking other required fields like product, account, and taxes
