[Feature] matching products by SKU

[PhilippeBach]

when you have an existing magento and an existing odoo when you do a first sync it recreate all products no matching on SKU

[pedrobaeza]

This should be provided as a wizard that matches and create the bind, not in the initial sync.

[PhilippeBach]

this is not really useful for existing companies

[pedrobaeza]

What is not really useful?

What he Phillipe is saying is that if thr data exists alredy in Odoo then dont make new products, link yo existing. Connector for 7 was the the same working. 6 seems to have been more bi-directional.

All said... perhaps a way for Phillipe.would be to move existing product details to a separate warehouse then do stock / detail moves if needed to Magento inventory. I can imagine some bulkbupdates will be r equired.

I'm prepping a first synch and purposefully have an empty database. Would prefer to have moved v 7 data forward but for expeditiosness Magento is my shared repository.

Perhaps there is a way to re point the Connector links post install for Phillippe? Are yhey in same warehouse or separate in Odoo?

[pedrobaeza]

And I said the way I think this has to be achieved...

[PhilippeBach]

same on customers if you have an existing customer (same email) he will be imported there is no matching test in the connector companies who have odoo and magento working separately could not sync the datas with 2 warehouses how to have statistics on products

same on customers if you have an existing customer (same email) he will be imported there is no matching test in the connector

Customers with the same email address will be matched.

I would accept a PR that binds products based on the same SKU.

[PhilippeBach]

Guewen sorry i can't do a pull request because i'm not developer i can only do suggests

when you have an odoo working and a magento working both standalone there is no way to match customers and products to sync both together

in french (better for me) si on a magento qui fonctionne et odoo qui fonctionnent chacun de leur coté il est impossible de les mettre en rapport tous les clients et tous les produits son dupliqués dans odoo. Impossible de mettre un stock a jour dans ce cas là, ni de reprendre un historique client.

comme je ne suis pas développeur juste utilisateur un peu averti je ne peux pas créer un PR Philippe

[guewen]

Matching partners is not an easy task. Partners with the same email are matched though. You can use the deduplicate tool afterwards.

Matching products by the sku is something that was not done in the first place because the sku on odoo is not unique, so you can have several products with the same sku (not the common case but still). Though if someone makes a PR for that I will accept it, taking the first product found with the same SKU.

This is interesting also for any implementation where Odoo and Magento products were not initially synchronized, and there's the same information in both systems.
