Often customers provide product (or other type) of data in the form of flat-files. These files carry dynamic data, such as stock and price, which need to be made available in Odoo, for driving live ERP processes.
A background script embedded into Scheduled Actions reads the flat-files (from an In-Box folder) and imports them into the Odoo database using Odoo’s native XML/JSON-RPC API.
