Advanced Product template & Category import & Update
A module for improving the import and update of product template and category

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 "Advanced product template import & update with category Import"
enable you to import categories directly from the import sample file of default Odoo product template from Sales app.
You only need to insert the categories on the sample file with following format :
Category 1 / Child category1 / Child Category2 / Child Category 3/------
So system will automatically recognise that the category 1 is the parent category of "Child category 1".
Child category 1 will be the parent category of "Child category 2".
Child category 2 will be the parent category of "Child category 3" etc. and automatically create those categories.
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 also be automatically created in system.
System will automatically provide a category reference ID for each parent and child category that could be used to update the product categories.
Important is to know that this module does not enable updating categories from sales app.
In case you want to update categories, you can either use default Odoo features, or our module "Improved category import & update".
Our module offer you a simple and innovating approach without creating a new import wizard. We are just improving the default odoo import.
