Are you aiming to import the whole of accounting history from the audit file? Or just the chart of accounts

Hi Thomas,

It would be a complete migration from for example Exact Online or Afas including full history on transaction detail level.

Interesting idea! Currently it would probably be possible to do this manually by using regular tools to convert (part of) the XML to CSV, and then importing that, but it's of course a lot of manual work.

I agree, so that is why I thought of the Audit file import. This should incentivise migrating to Oodoo a lot, especially if it would be user friendly.

I do wonder who would ever create a module for this. As partners/integrators it's not that bad business-wise to just import manually and bill the hours.

For us, the amount of onboarding we do, put against the number of customers truly requiring a full financial import, compared to the amount of time needed to create this makes it a no-go. Would be nice if someone could ever sponsor it of course.

Incentivising migration to Odoo also works as lowering thresholds in a not-so-nice way for people who care about what we do here: a nice module with which one then simply fills an otherwise stock Enterprise installation with records, and no further synergies wrt OCA.
