Odoo Advanced Import Pro Guide: Import Data from CSV, Excel, XML, JSON & APIs
Setup Module + Install + Access

Complete beginner setup: add the addon to addons path, restart, update Apps list, install, confirm menu, and give user access.

Start an Import (File, URL, or API)

Pick a format, select the target screen, and load your data correctly.

Match Your Columns to Odoo Fields

Use Auto Map, then fine-tune so data lands in the right place.

Import Only the Rows You Want (Filters)

Set rules like “Status = Active” so only matching rows are imported.

Preview + Choose Create / Update

Decide whether to create new records, update existing ones, or both.

Track Progress (Pause / Resume / Stop)

Imports can run in the background. Learn how to control them safely.

Scheduled Imports (Run Automatically)

Run imports daily/weekly/monthly—or once—without manual work.
