Improved Category import & Update

A module for improving the import and update of product categories

Screenshot

Default Odoo for datas import offers powerful features, but is complicated to use especially when its come to update those datas.
Importing product categories with default Odoo is a complicated and time-consuming task, this is why we developed 2 modules to help you to save time. This module "Improved Category import & update" enable you to import categories with only 2 columns on sample file: "Category Name" and "Parent Category Name", Optionally you can also add values on column "Category Reference ID". The values of other columns usually needed to import categories with default Odoo e.g. property valuation, property cost method, parent category ID etc will be automatically created in system. In case you don't want to insert the category reference ID on sample file, system will automatically provide a category reference ID for each category name that could be used as unique identifier to update the product categories. That category reference ID will be automatically created using a simple format based on category name (product.product_category_category name). Our module offer you a simple and innovating approach without creating a new import wizard. We are just improving the default odoo import. Please check following comparison table between default Odoo for data import and Quality app's improved import & update module. So you will see the benefits of our module.
