Purchase orders from a spreadsheet, in seconds

Import purchase order lines from any Excel or CSV file with flexible column mapping, product matching by code, barcode or name, and a validating preview you confirm before anything is written.

THE PROBLEM

Suppliers send quotes and reorder sheets as spreadsheets, and a 200-line order can take an hour to re-key by hand — with transposition mistakes on quantity, price, or tax. Odoo's generic import exposes internal field names, and rival apps demand rigid column layouts with no preview.

THE SOLUTION

Drop in the file, map any column to any field, and review a dry-run preview of every line, tax, and total — with a consolidated list of problem rows — before you commit. Confirm once and the purchase order is built for you.

CAPABILITIES

Everything a bulk import needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Bulk Excel & CSV Import

Upload CSV, XLS, or XLSX files and turn hundreds of supplier lines into purchase order lines at once, eliminating manual re-keying.

02

Flexible Column Mapping

Map any column to any field in any order. Headers are auto-detected on upload, so real-world spreadsheets import as-is — no fixed layout required.

03

Validating Dry-Run Preview

See exactly what will be created — every line, tax, and total — and explicitly confirm before a single record is written to the order.

04

Consolidated Error List

Every problem row is reported at once with its row number, value, and reason, so you fix the whole file in one pass instead of iterating blindly. Failed rows export to CSV.

05

Product Matching

Match products by internal reference, barcode, or name — or let the auto mode try each in turn — so inconsistent supplier spreadsheets still resolve.

06

Automatic Taxes & Totals

Taxes resolve by name or percentage, and each line's discount, subtotal, tax, and total are computed automatically for a financially correct order.

07

Optional Product Creation

When an identifier does not match, choose to create the product automatically or report it — a clear decision at import time, off by default.

08

New or Existing Orders

Import into a brand-new RFQ or append lines to an existing draft order, keep the file row order, and optionally confirm the purchase order in the same step.

09

Reusable Mapping Profiles

Save a mapping and its options as a named profile for each recurring supplier format, and download a sample template that matches your configuration.

WORKFLOW

How it works

1

Upload & Map

Pick the vendor, drop in the file, and confirm the auto-detected column mapping.

2

Review the Preview

Check matched products, taxes, and totals, and read the list of any problem rows.

3

Import

Confirm to build the purchase order lines with correct quantities, prices, and taxes.

4

Save & Reuse

Store the mapping as a profile so the next import from that supplier is one click.

SCREENSHOTS

01 - UPLOAD & MAPPING
Import wizard with destination, options and auto-detected column mapping

Choose the vendor, upload the file, set your options, and map any column to any field — columns are auto-detected on upload.

02 - VALIDATE & IMPORT
Dry-run preview with per-row status, taxes, totals and error summary

The validating preview: summary totals, ready rows, warnings, and errors — each with its row number and reason — before you commit.

Import success summary showing lines imported into a purchase order

A clear confirmation of how many lines were imported and into which purchase order.

Resulting request for quotation with imported lines, taxes and totals

The finished RFQ — every imported line with its quantity, discount, taxes, and computed totals, ready to review and send.

03 - REUSABLE PROFILES
List of saved mapping profiles

Saved mapping profiles, one per recurring supplier format.

Import profile form with options and column mapping

A profile stores every option and column mapping, so repeat imports are one click.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Do my spreadsheet columns have to be in a fixed order?

No. You map any column to any field, and headers are auto-detected on upload, so files import as they are — there is no required layout.

What happens to rows with errors?

The preview lists every problem row with its number, value, and reason, and valid rows still import. You can export the failed rows to CSV, fix them, and re-import.

How are products from the file matched to Odoo products?

By internal reference, barcode, or product name — individually, or with an auto mode that tries each in turn. Unmatched rows can be reported or, if you choose, create a new product.

Can I import into an order that already exists?

Yes. Import into a new RFQ or append the lines to any existing draft order, and optionally confirm the purchase order in the same step.
