Magento OpenERP Integration

Magento OpenERP Integration

This is a developer preview of Magento OpenERP connector, combining the latest stable versions of the e-commerce platform and ERP software, Magento 1.7 and OpenERP 7 respectively. This connector eradicates the earlier problems of the Magento OpenERP connector as the code is written from scratch. The Magento OpenERP connector is fully tested automatically for regressions. The developers at Openlabs have followed the policy of ‘Simple is Beautiful’ for the creation of this connector.

The Magento OpenERP connector was created out of respect for the customers of Openlabs and the users around the world, who were left stranded after the release of OpenERP version 7. The primary motive was to create a simpler, faster and clean connector unlike the previous ones. The connector was created in the time frame of one week and is available for testing free of charge.

Features of Magento OpenERP connector

• Multiple Magento instance architecture: The existing structure has been retained with each instance having multiple websites with each website comprising of different stores leading to a group of store views. The users can import these Magento instance parameters to OpenERP with the assistance of this connector.
• Import and Export: Users can import catalogues, categories and products along with customers’ information and addresses. The Magento OpenERP connector imports every order status including the cancelled orders. The other imported orders are pending, enqueued, started, done or failed. The connector also creates a contact if it did not exist earlier.
• Synchronization: The Magento OpenERP connector processes the import of orders on the basis of the order status in OpenERP, thus synchronising the information across the e-commerce and ERP platforms.
• No Duplication: One individual task is created for each record to import in OpenERP for sales order, customer, product and other categories thus reducing data redundancy.
• Fully Tested: The connector and the integration is completely scrutinized by unit test cases which check the functionality with different order and product types and other combinations. The testing ensures that the connector behavior is predictable and active development does not hinder the working features. You can see it for yourself.

The connector is still missing a few functions, which have been added to our issues list.

Contributions and suggestions to improve the connector are always welcome, courtesy to the truly 100% Open Source nature of the software.
