The Phloem cloud — nothing to install

Puts your Odoo products, part numbers and bills of materials in Trace, so Hamming can cite the part and BOM a unit was built to.

#What Phloem reads

• Products — each product (not each variant) as a part: name, internal reference as part number, category and weight
• Bills of materials — each as an assembly: the product it builds, and every component with quantity and unit (needs the Manufacturing app)
• OdooPLM — if installed, the engineering code becomes the part number and the engineering revision the revision, and the engineering state is kept

Phloem never writes to Odoo.

#What you need

• An Odoo database Phloem can reach over the internet.
• A login and an API key. Create the key in Odoo under Preferences → Account Security → New API Key (a password also works). Phloem reads what that user can read; it need not be an administrator.
• For bills of materials, a user allowed to read them. Without that, products still sync.

#Connect

1. In the console, open Connectors, choose Add connector, then Odoo.
2. Enter Odoo URL (e.g. https://acme.odoo.com), Database, Login and API key.
3. Save. The test shows the Odoo version and how many products it can see.

#Notes

• Without OdooPLM, a part's revision is the time it was last edited in Odoo, not an engineering revision.
• An archived product or bill leaves Trace at the next sync. One deleted outright leaves at the next full sync.
• A weight of zero in Odoo counts as not entered.
• Keep in Trace and Sync now are on the connector's page.
