Re: Transfer/Migrate Product with Variants Keeping External Identifier for product.product

Hi,

Are you having trouble with generating your own identifiers when you create the products?

Remember, they are just in a table.

If you have data in a module, the external identifiers are fixed by the id in the xml.

When you export anything in Odoo, it will use that identifier, or it will look for what identifier has been used, and if it is not there, will create its own?

So after importing your products in your new database, you could set / override the external identifier to be what it was in your export?

Without knowing what you have done, and what the endgame is exactly, I would have thought it a not too difficult task to replace the identifiers in your new db with what they were in the old db, ensuring that future exports from either source would have the same identifier.

Subject: Transfer/Migrate Product with Variants Keeping External Identifier for product.product
 

Hello everyone

I need to transfer products with variants from one Odoo database to another and have one requirement:

To keep the exact external identifier for both product.template and product.product records. 

I need specially to preserve the external identifier for product.product (Product Variants) because later on I'll have to transfer stock moves and, yes, what is referenced in stock moves, sales, purchases, is product.product (and not product.template).

I've successfully exported products with variants (exported "attribute_line_ids/attribute_id/id" and "attribute_line_ids/value_ids/id") and import them in the destination database and everything is OK, products with variants are replicated but at the end variants (product.product records) have no external identifier, and I need them.

Can someone help, please?

Regards
