I need to automate the request to the API of a warehouse company and update the stock of my inventory module with the response. I'm new to Odoo and as far as I researched the easiest way to implement anything in Odoo is using some existing module, but I don't know exactly what the appropriate module for this case is (if there is any). Also, I watched some tutorials where people programmed entire API modules and I think that would be more than I need. I would appreciate any help!


To be sure you fully understand the explanation, this would be an example of what I want to achieve:

1. The stock of product X in my inventory is 5.

2. The automated request to Warehouse company's API triggers.

3. The response indicates that product X inventory is actually 3.

4. My inventory gets updated to show product X stock is 3.

I recently had a similar requirement and was able to solve it with these steps:

  • Create a new stock.quant​ model with the following data:
    • ​product_id​: Associated product.product
    • ​location_id​: Warehouse ID
    • ​inventory_quantity​: Stock at hand
  • After creating the new entry, it will not immediately be applied. You will need to call the action action_apply_inventory​ and pass the ID of the new stock.quant​ model.

Maybe someone has a better solution, but this is the only viable solution I have found so far. However, it should thoroughly be tested to see if it has any side implications in your use case.

For what version of Odoo? I tried to do this on v17, but after I create a `stock.quant` entry and try to call the `action_apply_inventory` action on it, it says

"Record does not exist or has been deleted."

The record does exist, though. What I noticed is that after a couple of hours, it is automatically deleted.

I am interested in how you called the action with the API.  All of my attempts have not gotten anywhere.  I can update the quant with the appropriate numbers but can't get it to actual update the count in the system.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
