Just have written an importer for OpenProject Ticket System to Odoo 10.0.

Everything works just perfect and automatic. Except one issue, where we just found a workaround, but no real solution yet.

Therefor i'll describe what we do and the workaround:

Maybe i am just missing something obvious someone may give the hint for me.

Excerpt of what the code does:

 # create sale.order for each imported project    .....

            odoo_id = ProjectProject.create(project_project)    .....

        saleorder = {                    'state': 'draft',                    'date_order': mk_date(row['created_on']),                    'user_id': 1,                    'currency_id': 1,                    'client_order_ref': 'Ticketsystem',                    'partner_id': partner_id[0],                    'partner_invoice_id': partner_id[0],                    'partner_shipping_id': partner_id[0],                    'project_id': pid[0]['analytic_account_id'][0], # Kostenstelle                    'project_project_id': odoo_id, # Projekt                    'picking_policy': 'direct',                    'pricelist_id': 1,                    'note': 'created from openproject import',                    'origin': project_project['openproject_id'],                    'warehouse_id': 1,                    'order_line': [                        (0, 0, {                            'product_uom_qty': 1,                            'product_uom': 5,                            'product_id': general_service_product, # this is product.product of type service, order_policy "timesheet"                        }),                    ],                }        SaleOrder = odoo.get_model('sale.order')        so_id = SaleOrder.search([('origin', '=', project_project['openproject_id'])])        if len(so_id) == 0:

            SaleOrder.create(saleorder)    .....

        # create account.analytic.line    .....

        accaline = {            'openproject_id': row['id'], # used to be able to update/add timesheet entries from openproject            'account_id': none2false(lookup_project_aa(lookup_project(row['project_id']))), # Analysekonto / many2one            'amount': row['hours'] * o.gethourprice(row['id']), # Betrag / monetary            'company_id': 1, # Unternehmen / many2one            'date': mk_date(row['spent_on']), # Datum / date            'name': cleantext(row['comments']), # Beschreibung / char            'product_id': general_service_product, # Produkt / many2one            'project_id': lookup_project(row['project_id']), # Projekt / many2one            'task_id': lookup_task('work_package_id'), # Aufgabe / many2one            'unit_amount': row['hours'], # Anzahl / float            'user_id': lookup_user(row['user_id']), # Benutzer / many2one            }        AccountAnalyticLine = odoo.get_model('account.analytic.line') # this is my xml-rpc factory        odoo_id = AccountAnalyticLine.search([('openproject_id', '=', accaline['openproject_id'])])        if not odoo_id:

            odoo_id = AccountAnalyticLine.create(accaline)    .....

After doing such import, Account analytic lines are all there.

But in Sales/Sales to invoice there is nothing to be invoiced.

Expected Result:

- all imported analytic entries should be on "sales to invoice"

Observed Result:

No imported entries appear to be invoiced

Workaround:

1. go into Accounting/Advisor/Analytic entries and select & export all, just one unimportant field like "ref".

2. re-import file from 1.

After this, all analytic entries are found to be billable under "Sales to invoice". Although there is no observable result in analytic entries.

Question:

What can be done programmatically to make those analytic entries invoiceable directly with import, without described workaround?
