Container Import Workflow
by
Binhex Systems Solutions S.L. (Headquarters), Jorge Elena Poblet
Hi everyone,
We’re working with a client that requires improvements to the container import process in Odoo, and we’re preparing to start development soon. As many of you may know, container imports typically involve a specific workflow, including:
Import documentation
Import type (air, sea, consolidated, etc.)
Landed costs allocation
Container tracking and scheduling
Customs and clearance milestones
Follow-ups on estimated arrival/departure dates
Our current approach is to extend the purchase order model to serve as the foundation of this workflow, allowing us to maintain a familiar structure while introducing the additional logic and tracking needed for container-level visibility and process automation.
Before we begin, we’d like to ask the community:
Is anyone else currently working on something similar or interested in collaborating on this?
Are there existing OCA modules or partial solutions we should consider extending?
We see potential value in making this a broader OCA-compliant project, especially as container tracking and landed cost accuracy are pain points for many companies working with international suppliers.
Happy to share a more detailed spec or jump on a call to discuss use cases. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.
Best regards,
