Why this module is essential
Businesses that supply large customers receive demand as EDI files — release schedules that mix Planning (projected) and Firm (committed) forecasts. Re-keying that data into Odoo by hand is slow, repetitive, and easy to get wrong.
The EDI Connector bridges your EDI server and Odoo. It downloads EDI files from your server directory — on demand or on a schedule — validates the Ship To customer and every product, groups the forecast by date and type, and writes the matching Quotations and confirmed Sale Orders for you, with no manual data entry.

Standout Features
Built to remove manual data entry and keep every EDI order accurate and traceable.
Direct Server Link
Connects your EDI server directly to Odoo and pulls files from your server directory — no middleware juggling.
Files Become Orders
The connector reads each EDI file and creates the matching Quotations and Sale Orders automatically, with no manual keying.
Smart Validation
Validates the Ship To customer and every Buyer Part Number against your catalog before anything is written into Odoo.
No Duplicates
Matching orders are updated in place instead of re-created, overlapping draft lines are removed, and empty quotations are cancelled.
How Forecasts Become Sale Orders
How Forecasts Become Sale Orders
Planning Forecasts
Projected demand marked as Planning is saved for visibility without disrupting fulfilment, so your team can see what is coming:
Saved as draft Quotations- Grouped by Forecast Date
- Overlapping draft lines cleaned up
Saved as draft Quotations
Firm Forecasts
Committed demand marked as Firm is turned into orders that are ready to drive your deliveries:
- Created as Sale Orders
- Confirmed automatically after processing
- Timezone-aware delivery dates
