Import Core

Generic CSV import core for Odoo 17.

This module provides:

  • Import templates (field mappings + ordered import steps)
  • A file upload wizard to execute the import
  • A step runner dispatcher framework for pluggable “step modules” (partners, products, subscriptions, etc.)

Configuration

Install import_core and (optionally) one or more step modules, for example:

  • import_step_contacts (partners / contacts)

After installing the needed modules:

  1. Go to: Imports -> Templates
  2. Create an import template
  3. Select Import steps (these are provided by installed step modules)
  4. Define Field mappings:
    • CSV column name: the header name in your CSV file
    • Model: restricted to the models allowed by the selected steps
    • Field: restricted by the selected model
    • Is search field: marks fields used to find existing records before creating new ones

Usage

Create / edit templates

  1. Open: Imports -> Templates
  2. Create a template
  3. Select the import steps in the order you want them executed
  4. Add field mapping lines

Run an import

  1. Open: Imports -> Templates -> Import (Upload)
  2. Select the template
  3. Download the CSV template if needed
  4. Upload your CSV file
  5. Click Upload

How step chaining works

The wizard reads each CSV row and:

  1. Splits the row into model-specific mapping values using your template lines
  2. Executes the selected steps in sequence
  3. Passes a shared state dictionary between steps so they can chain records, for example:
    • Step 1 (partners) sets state["partner"]

The dispatcher calls step runners by model name:

  • Step code partner -> model generic.import.runner.partner

If a runner model is not installed, that step is ignored automatically.
