Hi. I'm a fresh guy
Today, I try to import Sale Orders into Openerp, however there are error.
First, I choose the necessory fields to export the CSV file. Then import this CSV file into system use Web client, however, the system refuse to import, shows:

"Error processing your first line of the file.
Field Customer is unkown!"

I just curious about this since I export the CSV from system, of course it contains the Field " Customer ", but when I import this CSV field, why it says is unknow? Sad
This is the CSV file open with EditPlus:

Customer,Date Ordered,Invoice Address,Invoice on,Order Reference,Ordering Contact,Packing Policy,Pricelist,Shipping Address,Shipping Policy,Shop
Ecole de Commerce de Liege,2010-02-21,Karine Lesbrouffe,order,SO004,Karine Lesbrouffe,direct,Public Pricelist,Karine Lesbrouffe,manual,E-Com


Thanks for your help
Very Happy

Help.Thanks

Perhaps this provided you with a way forward.

Hi,

"Error processing your first line of the file.
Field Customer is unkown!"

This kind of error occurs when the field is readonly. That's why importing of such fields generate the above error.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem as linuxmygirl on importing sales orders.
I have checked out both threads on the problem and can not get importing of sales orders to work.

I have exported sales orders with the import compatible option checked, copied my data to the export, leaving the column headers untouched.
Got the customer field is unknown error.
Changed the customer header field to partner_id and then to partner_id:id.
Again, no joy on the import.
I have confirmed that the customer I am trying to import the sales data for is listed as a partner.

As far as read only being the problem, I am not sure what that is about, as I edited the file and then saved it as a .csv file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you tried both webclient and GTK client ? I found the GTK client worked much better, without tripping up around unknown fields that were plainly correct.
