is there a way for me to import an xml file in a similiar fashion to the way i can import products from an external database to increase the inventory count... you may have seen my previous question about how to mass import pictures... I have figured that out with a script that combines the functionality of imagemajicks convert function, used through a system call from gawk, multiplied over the various picture sizes, and a simple text file that enumerated what each picture's associated productid was in a line delimited fashion...
I like running a simple text file through a script to automate these ofbiz functions as a much simpler way to do batch processing of jobs that already are a bit of a task, but having to go into each item and recieve inventory... well.... i refurb printers and everyone that i strip apart yields about 20-40 parts... multiply that over approximately 20 printers a pallet... you get the idea i would ideally have a line delimited or csv delimited file that can be processed by gawk into an xml file that i can do the load-extdata call from ant with could i just create a ShipmentReceipt.xml and load that... it just seems like that is a marking of the transaction and not the transaction
