# BOM Excel Import Module

This Odoo 19.0 module allows importing Bills of Materials (BOMs) from Excel files using a unified wizard with a two-step process:

  1. Import Operations and Workcenters (automatically performed first)
  2. Import BOMs with routing operations (performed second)

## Excel File Structure

The Excel file should have the following columns:

Column | Description | Required | Example |
------ | ------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------ |
A | Product produced | Yes | "Finished Product A" |
B | Operation name | No | "Cutting", "Assembly" |
C | Quantity consumed | Yes | 2.5, 1.0 |
D | Component UOM | Yes | "Unit" |
E | Component consumed | Yes | "Raw Material B" |
F | Workcenter name | No | "CNC Machine", "Assembly Line" |

## Example Excel Data

` Product Produced    | Operation  | Quantity | Component UOM | Component      | Workcenter -------------------|------------|----------|----------------|------------------ Chair              | Cutting    | 4        | Unit           | Wood Plank     | Saw Machine Chair              | Assembly   | 8        | Unit           | Screw          | Assembly Line Chair              | Assembly   | 1        | Unit           | Cushion        | Assembly Line Table              | Cutting    | 1        | Unit           | Wood Board     | Saw Machine Table              | Assembly   | 4        | Unit           | Table Leg      | Assembly Line Table              | Assembly   | 12       | Unit           | Screw          | Assembly Line `

## Import Process

### Using the Unified Wizard

  1. Go to Manufacturing > Configuration > BOM Excel Import
  2. Upload your Excel file and configure settings
  3. Click "Start Import" to begin the process
  4. The wizard will guide you through: - Step 1: File validation and configuration - Step 2: Import operations and workcenters - Step 3: Import BOMs with components and routing - Step 4: View import summary and results

### Step-by-Step Process

  1. Upload File: Select your Excel file, specify sheet name and start row
  2. Import Operations: Creates workcenters and routing operations from the Excel data
  3. Import BOMs: Creates products, BOMs, and BOM lines with proper operation linking
  4. Complete: Review the import summary and detailed logs

## Features

  • Unified Two-Step Process: Single wizard handles the complete import workflow
  • Automatic Product Creation: Products are created automatically if they don't exist
  • Duplicate Detection: Skips existing BOMs and workcenters
  • Error Handling: Detailed import logs with error reporting for each step
  • Operation Linking: Links BOM components to specific operations
  • Flexible Format: Handles missing optional columns gracefully
  • Progress Tracking: Clear indication of current step and progress
  • Detailed Logging: Separate logs for operations and BOM import steps

## Requirements

  • Odoo 19.0
  • Python library: openpyxl (for Excel file processing)

## Installation

  1. Copy the module to your Odoo addons directory
  2. Install the openpyxl Python library: `bash pip install openpyxl `
  3. Update the module list in Odoo
  4. Install the "BOM Excel Import" module

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

  1. "openpyxl library is required" - Install openpyxl: pip install openpyxl
  2. "Could not find product" - Products are created automatically, but check the product names in your Excel file
  3. "BOM already exists" - The module skips existing BOMs. Delete existing BOMs if you want to reimport
  4. "Workcenter not found" - This shouldn't happen as workcenters are created in the first step

### Import Logs

The wizard provides detailed import logs for both steps showing:

  • Number of records processed in each step
  • Created workcenters, operations, BOMs, and BOM lines
  • Error messages with row numbers
  • Warnings and informational messages
  • Import summary with totals

## Technical Details

### Models Created

  • base: Base Odoo functionality
