From web client, you have a drop-down menu in the top of the form. There you have the options Import and Export, which can import data from or export data to CSV format files. I suggest you to create an "example" record (one customer, one vendor, etc), export this record to a CSV file and then open the file with Excel.

This is the fastest way I know to get the tables structure into Excel. There you can paste your Customer, Vendor, Suppliers, etc, list, save the file (which will be saved in CSV format) and finally import into OpenERP from web client.

Check if users can import data from CSV files in Configuration module. If not, check this option to TRUE.

Hope this could help. Regards

No matching record found for external id '__export__.res_partner_45_199' in field 'Account Payable' between rows 2 and 3

please check the financial fields. when creating "master" records (mainly customers, vendors items) the financial fields must be set up, because when the user post the first invoice, openERP will save the corresponding accounting journal automatically.

Fix this bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/1194893 ), then export again. It appears like the External ID OpenERP is generating is not valid because of this bug.

Patch this bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/1194893 ) and try a new export. You should get External ID's that actually match the accounts you have instead of the ones you are getting.

ray carnes thanks but I don't know how to patch it and what to do with it:s

Ray Carnes

You need to change the file openerp/osv/orm.py - there are three changes to make, based on what is shown when you click the line "Diff: 44 lines (+6/-5) 2 files modified". You don't have to worry about the changes to openerp/tests/addons/test_impex/tests/test_export.py. Once you have edited the files, restart the server. If you have used bzr to access the source code, you can download the changes as a DIFF file and use the command "bzr patch" to apply the changes.
