  • Re: Purchasing "packaging-like" products
    This option with UoM is nice for food business because UoM is shown by default on the pdf reports (SO, INV).

    To go a step further (in standard) your customer could create differents categories of UoM by type of products or by brand if there is a lot of differences. This would help to avoid having hundreds of UoM into the same category and limit the mistake of selecting « pack of X » if this specific UoM is not available for the product.

    Hi Radovan

    I had to deal with a similar situation for a supermarket, where an external database had to be imported as products in the system. It had a lot of similar examples like "package of 6 eggs" or "crate of 20 bottles" whereby the purchase and sales units are different.

    I ended up creating separate "uom" records for each, which correspond to a certain number of another "uom". So a "12 pack" is 12 times a "unit". You can then decide to purchase in a different unit and sell in another unit. Odoo also has some documentation on it:

  • Re: [PSA] mail template editor group, mass mailing user group
    Interesting. In a v16 enterprise migration it does not give that permission.

    This meant that the built in followup letters could not be edited. It is fairly easy to work around as the ability to edit a rendered message is not determined by group but by computed field. The biggest issues with giving users access to template editing is not security by the way, it is the fact they will cock it up as you need to understand object notation, translation management and that you are affecting everyone.

    We have written a lot of security changes/enhancements as I'm sure many others have. A lot have been to mitigate unforeseen multicompany effects but not all. Off the top of my head these are some of the things we could give fairly immediately although like most internal code, it will need some generalizing/refactoring..

    Master Data Security - basically stops regular users doing crud on warehouses, products, uom's, locations except for a very few whitelisted fields.
    Partner Lock - Allows to lock a partner so it cannot be changed unless unlocked (e.g. a key supplier where clowns change the email address, or a company partner record)
    The stuff for mail templates.
    Sane Accounting Access defaults - this actually adds functionality to Billing User so they don't have to be given Accounting Access to do things like view Payable/Receivable Report or reconciliation screen.
    Adding an intracompany user (different to inter) locked to a single company rather than using uid 1 or OdooBot.

    I think maybe access management is a better term than security for this, as we are really only talking about User Access.

    but exactly that repository would be for people who want an installation that

    yes, but I learned this was a choice they made. You're supposed to click the 
    'restrict mail templates' flag in the general settings if you disagree. (which 
    still doesn't change the fact that everyone is a mail template editor as soon

    Actually, I was a bit frightened about this being a conscious choice so now 
    I'm sifting through other core modules if I find similar choices.
    
    If so, a secure-by-default oca repo might be in order, where we collect 
    modules like the ones I propose above, and set them to auto install.

  • Re: Question regarding the Community Discuss functionnality
    Hi everyone,

    First I would like to share our experience regarding déployment of the Odoo discuss via RTC.
    We installed a coturn server and setup TURN server in the ICE servers in the Odoo backend.
    I works mostly like a charm! We share links with customers etc...

    We still having some issues and we've been monitoring :
    • network and logs of the coturn server
    • network and logs on the odoo server
    • browser console during communication
    In the console we still having some unavailable ICE server . After many tests we're suspecting that the websocket Odoo conf could help https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/16.0/odoo/tools/config.py#L81 because issues seems to be raised by the websocket_worker_bundle that receiving and passing the payload of ice connexions.

    We're running out of ideas and wondering if anybody already had used  this with 20-50 users ?

    Any feedback would be welcomed,

  • Re: Status of different branches and reasoning to choose
    More on this:

    First about stability: as Pedro explained today there is no difference in stability between pair and odd versions. The thing is there is a resonance happening where pair versions are a bit more popular among skilled integrators and have more OCA modules. This can be observed by looking at the number of modules OCA by version in the attachment.

    Usually in the 1st year after the release around 90 modules per month are migrated in the OCA and it slows down after some 3 years. For some reason, the situation with v17 isn't as good today yet the version is reputed "stable". Note that this is only "merged" modules, there are a lot more modules with a valid migration Pull Request proposition that is just not merged yet (there a lot of such PRs for v17).

    I would add: you can choose a recent version both for large and small projects because small projects will need just a few modules and large ones might have money to migrate whatever is required. Mid sized projects however might be tricky if you choose a version that is too recent like version 17 today.

    You have to analyze the cust omer requirements, and see the gap between them and:

    - Odoo core features in that version.
    - Already migrated OCA modules to that version.

    and always trying to push to the latest version if possible, as it can be considered always the best version released. Only if the gap can be covered with a lot of OCA modules that are not migrated, then you may think about putting a prior version, but I invite you to reverse the thing: dedicate a bit of budget to migrate that modules to the latest version, and you will save having a lot of features including by Odoo S. A. itself in that version (they have more than 300 developers investing their full time each year to improve the product).

  • Re: Empty SQL argument and ANY operator

    Looks like a bug indeed, in 14.0 and lower. In 15.0 the code seems refactored.

    >>> env.cr.execute("select count(1) from res_users where id != any(%s)", (([1,],)))
    >>> env.cr.query
    b'select count(1) from res_users where id != any(ARRAY[1])'
    >>> env.cr.fetchall()
    [(248,)]

    >>> env.cr.execute("select count(1) from res_users where id != any(%s)", (([],)))
    >>> env.cr.query
    b"select count(1) from res_users where id != any('{}')"
    >>> env.cr.fetchall()
    [(0,)]

    Probably the Odoo programmers misinterpreted what kind of query psycopg would generate in such a case.

    Because of rigorous OCA policy, the code is allways in a very good 
    state. All OCA modules are stables (some are in alpha or beta version 
    but it is told in the Readme). Obviously, Odoo extend its 
    functionlitiezs and some OCA modules become obsoletes -- but some of 
    them are still there for various reasons (like a different workflow).
    
    Regarding versions, I had the same questions years ago. The answer 
    depends of what you really need instead of which version has more 
    functionalities. First of all, Odoo tends to be more stable in pair 
    versions and OCA is run by volunteers who are not allways using a recent 
    version of Odoo. Some modules are also very generic because OCA members 
    use them as a base for their need.
    
    Also, you have to understand that OCA's modules are useful for both Odoo 
    Enterprise and Odoo Community Edition. OCA doesn't intend to complete 
    the Odoo CE, it share module or libs that are useful for integrators.
    
    If you need a big picture, it help to browse apps.odoo.com (both free 
    and paid modules) using categories to understand what is missing in 
    Odoo.
    
    Finally you allways have to wait some months before choosing an Odoo 
    version because a lot of bugs are fixed during the year (for example, 
    Odoo 16 has 4 "dot realases").
    
    I will advice the Odoo 16 CE version from the OCB repository (see OCB 
    faq in the corresponding wiki). A lot of modules are already migrated. 
    If you need some other modules, wait a bit or choose the 14 version -- 
    or better, help the migration (money, code, ...).
    
    Hope it help
    regards

    Hi,
    
    oca hosts a lot of repositories whith branches for the different 
    versions of odoo (..14,16,17). What's missing for me is a big picture of 
    the overall state of the different versions... Is community still most 
    complete/stable on 14, 16 oder 17 (or maybe even 12)?
    
    What version would you suggest to start with?
    
    What's also missing for me is a good big picture on the difference in 
    code/features beetween odoo enterprise, odoo open-source and oca on the 
    different versions.
    
    thx for any feedback,
    Peter

  • Re: Mounting location of part upon production
    Hi Tom,
    You should be able to have each of the items (specified legs) be on one BOM and when the Manufacturing order is created, you select the serial numbers being used on those individual line items.

    I might need to build up a test case to be able to show you, and I should check to see what modules I have running that are beyond standard to enable that.

    I would be happy to connect directly.  If I build a test case I could likely share a video or some images.
    I should add, perhaps I am wrong,  but this seems pretty doable.  If not doable, it should be.

    Hi Landis,
    
    this sounds exactly like what I need, but I'm not sure that I follow - 
    if you say you need a "bom for each", then you basically mean defining 
    each leg as a separate product, which you include in the main BoM; so 
    there's a production step in between where a leg becomes a leg1, and 
    then becomes part of the table. Am I right? Or are you talking about 
    some other kind of serialization, that I don't yet know about?

    I agree, a less impacting solution should be better.

    In the web_editor there's a kind of concurrence protection: https://github.com/OCA/OCB/blob/15.0/addons/web_editor/controllers/main.py#L32-L39


    Interesting, but it's only implemented for collaborative pages on web (events? I couldn't find where).

    So basically Odoo has no longer any mechanism to prevent the changes of one user undoing the changes of another user.

    In applications traditionally two mechanisms existed that intended to prevent this problem, respectively pessimistic and optimistic locking.

    In pessimistic locking anybody touching a record with the potential to update it, would establish a lock on the record, other users would be prevented from reading the same record for update. This has the potential for lots of access problems, especially as databases and transactions became more complicated and would no longer involve single records but whole networks of records.

    Optimistic locking would, as Odoo does, timestamp all records. The idea that most reads that have a potential to update a record, mostly would not be updating anything. But when updating, the timestamp of the record read would be compared with the current timestamp and any previous change would result in an Exception.

    An alternative method for optimistic locking, not depending on timestamps, would be to save the original record image and compare with the actual record image just before the actual update.

    Missing either pessimistic locking or optimistic locking, for some applications it might be needed to implement a mechanism where a user must specifically claim a main application object for change, before being allowed to update it. A claim made preventing other users from making the same claim, before the application object being released. A main application object could be a Customer, an Order or a Helpdesk Ticket. Such a claim would work like a "check out"  in document management systems, or a kind of Semaphore on OS level.
