Importing QoH in Odoo 8 - import

Question

Documentation for the new version of Odoo (OpenERP) is nearly non-existent. Apparently, the process for importing Quantity on Hand for products has changed, and I can't find anything that describes the new method. Anyone know how to import current stock levels into Odoo 8? In version 7, you created an inventory count record, then imported all your product quantities using the reference field from the manually created count record. This doesn't seem to work in v8.

It's finally solved, simply follow the step
Step – 1 ;
1-> select product in warehouse module (open in list view).
2-> select the product which you want to update the inventory .
3-> click on more button and export column
i-> product name and any other one if you needed .
you have file with name of product.temlate.csv .
4-> Add a column qty and enter the quantity of product .
Step – 2;
1-> select inventory adjustment in warehouse module .
2-> if you already have any created inventory then go to 3rd point if not then create a inventory and feel the detail . and select all product option in Inventory of - :
3-> now again click on inventory adjustment and select the inventory.
4-> click on more and export the following column
Inventories/location
Inventories/product
Invevtories/product Unit of Measure .
Now you have one more file with name stock.inventory.csv
Step -3 ->
1-> now add two column on stock.inventory.csv
First one is name and second is line_ids/product_qty.
2-> delete the value of column line_ids/product_id/id of stock.inventory.csv file .
now copy the values of id column from product.template.csv and paste into the line_ids/product_id/id column of stock.inventory.csv .
3-> now copy the values of qty column from product.template.csv and paste into the line_ids/product_qty column of stock.inventory.csv .

AFTER IMPORTING DONT FORGET START INVENTORY

Answer 2

I found that I had to do the import as before, but afterwards, I had to change the state to 'confirm' in the database manually, something like:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "UPDATE stock_inventory SET state = 'confirm' WHERE name like 'Inventory1234'" database_name
Otherwise, when I would press Start Inventory, the quantities would be lost.

Answer 3

What I figured out is that you have to have all of your stock locations set up first, so that you can import the quantity on hand per location in Odoo 8. Set up your location hierarchy, then export the IDs. Merge these with the product variant (product.template, not product.product) IDs. I used FileMaker Pro to do this. Next, create your inventory adjustment record and export the name and ID fields. Use these on the first line only of your CSV file that contains the product quantity/location records to import.
If it helps, these are the column headers that I used in the import screen:
"Inventories / Location / External ID"
"Inventories / Checked Quantity"
"Inventories / Product Unit of Measure"
"Inventories / Product / Database ID"
"Inventories / Product Name"
Hopefully, that will help someone out. My notes are a couple months old, so I hope they are correct!
