Thanks to all of you for your answers. I understand that the INSTAT XML file standard hasn't been adopted accross EU countries.
So my conclusion is that it will be quite difficult to have a lot of common code, because we will obviously have many differences between countries. We could try to split the code between generic modules and country-specific modules. But, if you look at it, what would the generic (i.e. non-country-specific) module contain ? It would contain : - the intrastat field on res_country - the object report_intrastat_code - the country_id and intrastat_id fields on product_template and that's all. And only the first one would be needed for service-only companies ; the product-companies would need them all. So that would mean having 2 generic modules : - report_intrastat_base, with only the intrastat field on res_country, - report_intrastat_product_base with the object report_intrastat_code and country_id + intrastat_id on product_template. These 2 generic modules would be very small with just a few lines of code in each. I don't think it makes much sense. So, instead of doing that, I propose that we develop country-specific modules and we try to keep, in each of them, the same name for the basic fields and object, i.e. the names that are used in the current report_intrastat module of the addons. That way, a user which first tried to use the "report_intrastat" module from the addons would just need to uninstall it and install the country-specific module(s), and he would keep the data that he already entered. Do you agree with my proposal ? If yes, then I will rename my work on put it somewhere in the extra-addons. I think I will have 3 modules : - report_intrastat_base_fr (which would conflict with report_intrastat) - report_intrastat_product_fr (depends on report_intrastat_base_fr) - report_intrastat_service_fr (depends on report_intrastat_base_fr) Regards, -- Alexis _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
