[26137] Usage of Py3o templating engine in Odoo projects
Dear contributors,
we wanted to have the ability to generate sales and invoice documents
based on document templates in one of our Odoo projects.
For this purpose, we decided to give the template engine Py3o a try. In
the end, we came up with some questions
we would like to ask you.
* Have you been able to realize a similar workflow compared to the
application Microsoft Sharepoint? If that is the case, how did you do this?
* What means did you use the store the data Py3o needs to access during
filling the template?
* In which way did you store an already generated generated report?
We are looking forward to your feedback and thank you for this in advance.
Best regards,
Manuel

Re: [26137] Usage of Py3o templating engine in Odoo projects
Thanks Manuel, to clarify the questions at stake of my colleague a bit more precise: An ERP-System is meant to be the single source of truth. That's why we we would ideally retain all the structured data components (e.g. price, uom,...) that go into a Py3o report in the first place parsed back in the ERP-system (of course with changed content if it got changed in the Word / LibreOffice world). Actually this is what Sharepoint is trying to cover. So our questions are: Are there use cases out there that use Py3o to generate odt documents, let the user manipulate its content in a visual way and store back at least the structured part of the information "on safe" in the system and if yes where an how? For now and for us Py3o is seems to be too clumsy for that and the technical challenges to solve too vast so that we can hardly imagine that somebody ever tried to use it in such a use case, but we are definitely eager to know and would love to hear about alternatives. An no doing the entire unstructured part of a potential report document in 1..n text field in the Odoo backend isn't a really god idea either, we think.
