Use case :
We are closing a warehouse, I want to transfer the whole stock to another warehouse.
- First I tried manually creating a transfer, but I don't want to spend hours entering each one of the hundreds of products.
- I'm starting to be familiar with the export-import mechanism, so I tried exporting existing transfers to guess what fields should i use. It's currently a fail, I cannot easily find how to fill the products list of a transfer using import.
Angry moment (please forgive me) :
Odoo is a great and powerful tool, but i cannot count the tens of hours of work trying to guess which fields i should use for export import. Each time I want to deal with many items at once (categories, articles, etc.), it's the same pain.
The export-import mechanism is powerful and flexible but for me, it makes me lose all time benefits that odoo provides.
Actual question :
Do you know a way to "select" items in a list (for example products), and "pasting" them in a another list (for example the articles of a transfer).
I'm trying to import the list of product and quantity in the "operations" page (smart button) of a transfer.
For me, i need only 2 fields : product_id/id of the product and product_uom_qty.
BUT it doesn't work :
"Missing description (name) field blabla".
Why do i need a description ? And description of what ?
Thanks fo your help.
Well, it seems that putting garbage in the description fields works like a charm.
