EDI Purchase Order Import

Confirms a purchase order as soon as an inbound EDI or email document creates it, and tells a chosen group that it arrived.

Why

import_from_email's processor (edi.input.process.template) is deliberately model-agnostic: it creates whatever record its template targets and stops there. For a purchase order that leaves an unconfirmed RFQ waiting for someone to notice it, but an inbound order confirmation already represents a done deal with the vendor.

What it adds

• edi.input.process.template.process() is extended: when the record an exchange creates is a purchase.order, it calls _edi_confirm_and_notify() on it. Any other kind of record is left as the generic processor made it.

• purchase.order._edi_confirm_and_notify() confirms the order if it is still a draft, then posts a message on it that notifies every user of the chosen group, so it appears in their inbox.

• Notify Group on Imported Purchase Orders, a setting in Settings > Purchase, kept in the edi_purchase_order_import.notify_group_id system parameter.

Configuration

Installing the module sets the group to Purchase: Administrator, which is also the fallback when the parameter is empty or names a group that no longer exists. Exchange types and templates are configured as import_from_email describes; this module needs nothing further.

Tests

This module has no automated tests.
