Hello Martin, You may try our module to import CSV data into OpenERP - ea_import - http://apps.openerp.com/?filter={%22order_by%22%3A+%22click_counter+desc%22}&text_search=ea_import
There is also a module called ea_import_examples with some predefined templates and csv file examples. This is a fairly powerful tool that requires knowledge of the OpenERP database. Some video tutorials are here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTR4h_Y-_I8 Good luck! On 23 July 2012 00:05, W.
