# Odoo EDI Connector

## Overview

This public intake copy packages `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/odoo-edi-connector` from `https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills` into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the `external_source` block in `metadata.json` plus `ORIGIN.md` as the provenance anchor for review.

# Odoo EDI Connector

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: How It Works, EDI ↔ Odoo Object Mapping, Limitations.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

- A retail partner requires EDI 850 (Purchase Orders) to do business with you.
- You need to send EDI 856 (ASN) when goods are shipped.
- Automating EDI 810 (Invoice) generation from Odoo confirmed deliveries.
- Mapping EDI fields to Odoo fields for a new trading partner.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Guide for implementing EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) with Odoo: X12, EDIFACT document mapping, partner onboarding, and automated order processing.
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

## Operating Table

| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the `external_source` block before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |

## Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

### Imported Workflow Notes

#### Imported: Overview

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the standard for automated B2B document exchange — purchase orders, invoices, ASNs (Advance Shipping Notices). This skill guides you through mapping EDI transactions (ANSI X12 or EDIFACT) to Odoo business objects, setting up trading partner configurations, and automating inbound/outbound document flows.

#### Imported: How It Works

1. **Activate**: Mention `@odoo-edi-connector` and specify the EDI transaction set and trading partner.
2. **Map**: Receive a complete field mapping table between EDI segments and Odoo fields.
3. **Automate**: Get Python code to parse incoming EDI files and create Odoo records.

## Examples

### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

```text
Use @odoo-edi-connector-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
```

**Explanation:** This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

### Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

```text
Review @odoo-edi-connector-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
```

**Explanation:** Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

### Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

```text
Use @odoo-edi-connector-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
```

**Explanation:** This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

### Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

```text
Review @odoo-edi-connector-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
```

**Explanation:** This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

### Imported Usage Notes

#### Imported: Examples

### Example 1: Parse EDI 850 and Create Odoo Sale Order (Python)

```python
from pyx12 import x12file  # pip install pyx12
from datetime import datetime

import xmlrpc.client
import os

odoo_url = os.getenv("ODOO_URL")
db = os.getenv("ODOO_DB")
pwd = os.getenv("ODOO_API_KEY")
uid = int(os.getenv("ODOO_UID", "2"))

models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(f"{odoo_url}/xmlrpc/2/object")

def process_850(edi_file_path):
    """Parse X12 850 Purchase Order and create Odoo Sale Order"""
    with x12file.X12File(edi_file_path) as f:
        for transaction in f.get_transaction_sets():
            # Extract header info (BEG segment)
            po_number = transaction['BEG'][3]    # Purchase Order Number
            po_date   = transaction['BEG'][5]    # Purchase Order Date

            # IDEMPOTENCY CHECK: Verify PO doesn't already exist in Odoo
            existing = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'sale.order', 'search', [
                [['client_order_ref', '=', po_number]]
            ])
            if existing:
                print(f"Skipping: PO {po_number} already exists.")
                continue

            # Extract partner (N1 segment — Buyer)


                        # Extract partner (N1 segment — Buyer)
            partner_name = transaction.get_segment('N1')[2] if transaction.get_segment('N1') else "Unknown"

            # Find partner in Odoo
            partner = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'res.partner', 'search',
                                [[['name', 'ilike', partner_name]]])

            if not partner:
                print(f"Error: Partner '{partner_name}' not found. Skipping transaction.")
                continue

            partner_id = partner[0]

            # Extract line items (PO1 segments)
            order_lines = []
            for po1 in transaction.get_segments('PO1'):
                sku     = po1[7]    # Product ID
                qty     = float(po1[2])
                price   = float(po1[4])

                product = models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'product.product', 'search',
                    [[['default_code', '=', sku]]])
                if product:
                    order_lines.append((0, 0, {
                        'product_id': product[0],
                        'product_uom_qty': qty,
                        'price_unit': price,
                    }))

            # Create Sale Order
            if partner_id and order_lines:
                models.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'sale.order', 'create', [{
                    'partner_id': partner_id,
                    'client_order_ref': po_number,
                    'order_line': order_lines,
                }])
```

### Example 2: Send EDI 997 Acknowledgment

```python
def generate_997(isa_control, gs_control, transaction_control):
    """Generate a functional acknowledgment for received EDI"""
    today = datetime.now().strftime('%y%m%d')
    return f"""ISA*00*          *00*          *ZZ*YOURISAID      *ZZ*PARTNERISAID   *{today}*1200*^*00501*{isa_control}*0*P*>~
GS*FA*YOURGID*PARTNERGID*{today}*1200*{gs_control}*X*005010X231A1~
ST*997*0001~
AK1*PO*{gs_control}~
AK9*A*1*1*1~
SE*4*0001~
GE*1*{gs_control}~
IEA*1*{isa_control}~"""
```

## Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

- ✅ Do: Store every raw EDI transaction in an audit log table before processing.
- ✅ Do: Always send a 997 Functional Acknowledgment within 24 hours of receiving a transaction.
- ✅ Do: Negotiate a test cycle with trading partners before going live — use test ISA qualifier T.
- ❌ Don't: Process EDI files synchronously in web requests — queue them for async processing.
- ❌ Don't: Hardcode trading partner qualifiers — store them in a configuration table per partner.
- Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
- Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

**Symptoms:** The result ignores the upstream workflow in `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/odoo-edi-connector`, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
**Solution:** Re-open `metadata.json`, `ORIGIN.md`, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the `external_source` block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

### Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

**Symptoms:** Reviewers can see the generated `SKILL.md`, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
**Solution:** Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

### Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

**Symptoms:** The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
**Solution:** Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
