Hi,
You can create records in any Odoo model using the JSON-RPC API. This method allows you to call any function on any model programmatically.
Basic Structure
The general structure for creating records is:
json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "call",
"id": 3,
"params": {
"service": "object",
"method": "execute_kw",
"args": [
"database_name", // Your Odoo database name
user_id, // User ID (integer)
"password", // User password or API key
"model.name", // Technical name of the model
"create", // Method to execute
[
[
{
"field1": "value1",
"field2": "value2",
// ... more fields
},
// ... more records
]
]
]
}
}
Example: Creating Timesheet Records
Here's a practical example showing how to create multiple timesheet entries:
json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "call",
"id": 3,
"params": {
"service": "object",
"method": "execute_kw",
"args": [
"fresh_test", // Database name
2, // User ID
"1", // Password
"account.analytic.line", // Timesheet model
"create", // Create method
[
[
{
"name": "Development Task",
"project_id": 1,
"task_id": 1,
"employee_id": 1,
"unit_amount": 8.0,
"date": "2024-05-27"
},
{
"name": "Testing and QA",
"project_id": 1,
"task_id": 2,
"employee_id": 1,
"unit_amount": 4.0,
"date": "2024-05-27"
},
{
"name": "Code Review",
"project_id": 2,
"task_id": 3,
"employee_id": 2,
"unit_amount": 2.0,
"date": "2024-05-27"
},
{
"name": "Documentation",
"project_id": 2,
"task_id": 4,
"employee_id": 2,
"unit_amount": 3.0,
"date": "2024-05-27"
},
{
"name": "Client Meeting",
"project_id": 1,
"employee_id": 1,
"unit_amount": 1.5,
"date": "2024-05-27"
}
]
]
]
}
}
