How to Use This Module
Step-by-Step Instructions to Get Started
Installation & Setup
- Install the module: Go to Apps -> Search for "oe_delivery_dhl_connector" -> Click Install.
- Configure permissions: Navigate to Settings -> Users & Companies -> Grant shipping managers access to delivery carriers.
- Initial configuration: Open Inventory -> Configuration -> Delivery -> Delivery Methods -> Create or edit a carrier -> Set Delivery Type to DHL and enter credentials.
Basic Usage
- Creating shipments: Confirm a sales order and open the related delivery order -> Click "Check DHL Rate" to select the best service before validation.
- Managing data: Use the package smart button on pickings to adjust dimensions, add insurance values, or split parcels.
- Using key features: Click "Send to Shipper" to generate labels, customs forms, and tracking numbers directly on the picking.
- Generating reports: Filter delivery orders by carrier type = DHL to review costs, statuses, and chatter logs for audit.
Tips & Best Practices
- Sync packaging dimensions with product packaging to prevent dimensional upcharges.
- Enable chatter followers on delivery orders so customers receive tracking links automatically.
- Use multi-company environment to isolate DHL accounts for subsidiaries and avoid billing mix-ups.

Important Notes
This connector requires an active DHL XML Services account. Make sure "Site ID" is enabled for production and test environments before going live. Sandbox credentials do not create chargeable shipments, but live requests will debit your DHL billing account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Odoo versions and modules are required?
A: The module supports Odoo 12.0 through 19.0 Community or Enterprise. Core dependencies include delivery, sale, stock, mail, and oe_ai_job_base for analytics. No Enterprise-only shipping features are needed.
Q: Can I test with DHL before going live?
A: Absolutely. Enter DHL test credentials and enable the "Test Environment" flag on the carrier. The connector routes calls to DHLâs sandbox, returning sample labels without charging your account.
Q: How do I customize packaging or add insurance?
A: Create DHL packaging types under Inventory -> Configuration -> Product Packaging and link them to the carrier. When validating pickings, adjust package values and add insurance amounts-they are sent to DHL automatically.
