-============
-Domain names
-============
-
-A **domain name** works as an address for your website. It makes the Internet much more accessible
-as it allows users to type a meaningful web address, such as ``www.odoo.com``, rather than its
-server's IP address with a series of numbers.
-
-You can use a custom domain name to access your Odoo database and websites:
-
- By :ref:`registering a free domain name with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-register>` (for Odoo Online
-  databases)
- By :ref:`configuring a custom domain that you already own <domain-name/existing>`.
-
-.. note::
-   Odoo Online and Odoo.sh databases, including their websites, use by default a subdomain of
-   ``odoo.com`` for both the URL and the emails (e.g., ``https://example.odoo.com``).
-
-.. important::
-   Odoo offers a :ref:`free custom domain name <domain-name/odoo-register>` to all Odoo Online
-   databases for one year. Visitors can then access your website with an address such as
-   ``www.example.com`` rather than the default ``example.odoo.com``.
-
-.. seealso::

-
-.. _domain-name/about:
-
-About domain names
-==================
-
-Having a **good domain name** is as important to your branding as the name of your business or
-organization as it is the first thing your visitors will notice. We recommend you keep them *simple,
-short, easy to remember and spell*.
-
-A **subdomain** is a domain that is a part of another domain. It often refers to the additional part
-that comes before the main domain name. Traditionally, most websites use the ``www.`` subdomain,
-but any string of letters can be used as well. You can use subdomains to direct your visitors to
-other websites than your main website or to specific pages (e.g., ``experience.odoo.com`` points to
-a specific page.)
-
-All domain names are referenced in the **Domain Name System**, or **DNS**, which works as a giant
-directory for the Internet. There are many DNS servers, so any modification to the DNS can take up
-to 72 hours to propagate worldwide on all servers.
-
-.. _domain-name/indexing:
-
-Indexing of domain names by search engines
------------------------------------------
-
-Search engines, such as Google and Bing, rely on web crawlers (:dfn:`robots that explore and analyze
-the web`) to index all websites and their related domain names. These crawlers discover new URLs
-thanks to links on known web pages. As a result, search engines should index domain names
-automatically after a while, as long as their URLs are mentioned elsewhere on the Internet.
-
-Improving the appearance and positioning of web pages on search engines is a practice named "Search
-Engine Optimization" (SEO).
-
-.. tip::
-   Adding relevant content, optimizing metadata, and building high-quality backlinks can all help
-   improve a website's search engine visibility.
-
-Some search engines provide tools for web admins, such as
-`Google Search Console <https://search.google.com/search-console>`_ and
-`Bing Webmaster Tools <https://www.bing.com/webmasters>`_, to help you analyze and improve your
-page ranking. To use these services, you must prove that you are the owner of your domain name. One
-way to verify the ownership of your domain name is by adding a DNS record. You can do this for
-:ref:`domain names registered with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-manage>` and for domain names managed by
-other providers.
-
-.. seealso::
-   - :doc:`/applications/websites/website/pages/seo`

-   - `Bing Webmaster Tools - Add and Verify site <https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/add-and-verify-site-12184f8b>`_
-
-.. _domain-name/odoo-register:
-
-Register a free domain name with Odoo
-=====================================
-
-You can register a domain name for your Odoo Online database directly from Odoo Website or your
-database manager.
-
-.. important::
-   - Your domain name is **free for one year** if you register it with Odoo!
-   - The domain name is registered with `Gandi <https://www.gandi.net/>`_, the domain name
-     registrar.
-   - You are the owner of the domain name and can use it for other purposes.
-   - Odoo manages payment and technical support for you.
-   - This offer doesn't include any mailbox. However, you can :ref:`configure your MX records
-     <domain-name/odoo-manage>` to use your own email server or solution such as Google Workspace.
-
-To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Domain Name`. Alternatively, open your `database manager
-<https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the :guilabel:`settings` button next to your
-database, then on :guilabel:`Domain names`.
-
-.. image:: domain_names/register-menu.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Clicking on Domain Names from an Odoo website
-
-Search for the domain name of your choice to check its availability, then select the one you want to
-register for your website.
-
-.. image:: domain_names/register-search.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: The search of the domain name example.com shows which associated domains are available.
-
-Next, fill in the form with your information to become the domain name owner.
-
-Your domain name is directly linked to your database, but you still have to :ref:`map your domain
-name with your website <domain-name/website-map>`.
-
-.. note::
-   - Free domain names are also available for free Odoo Online databases (if you installed one app
-     only, for example). In this case, Odoo reviews your request and your website to avoid abuse.
-     This process can take several days due to the success of the offer.
-   - This is not available for Odoo.sh databases yet.
-
-.. _domain-name/odoo-manage:
-
-Manage your domain name registered with Odoo
--------------------------------------------
-
-To manage the DNS records of your domain name registered with Odoo or to visualize the contacts
-associated with it, open your `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the
-:guilabel:`settings` button next to your database, on :guilabel:`Domain names`, and then on
-:guilabel:`Contacts` or :guilabel:`DNS`.

-
-.. note::
-   Please `submit a support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ if you need further assistance to
-   manage your domain name.
-
-.. _domain-name/existing:
-
-Configure your existing domain name
-===================================
-
-If you already own a domain name, you can use it to point to your website.
-
-To avoid any issue with the :ref:`SSL certificate validation <domain-name/ssl>`, we highly recommend
-that you proceed with the following actions in this order:
-
-#. :ref:`Add a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>` on your domain name's DNS zone.
-#. :ref:`Map your domain name with your Odoo database <domain-name/db-map>`.
-#. :ref:`Map your domain name with your Odoo website <domain-name/website-map>`.
-
-.. _domain-name/cname:
-
-Add a CNAME record
------------------
-
-A **CNAME record** is a type of DNS record that points to the domain of another website rather than
-directly to an IP address.
-
-You need a CNAME record that points to your Odoo database. The requirements are detailed in your
-database manager.
-
-.. tabs::
-
-   .. group-tab:: Odoo Online
-
-      The target address is the current address of your database, as defined at its creation (e.g.,
-      ``example.odoo.com``)
-
-   .. group-tab:: Odoo.sh
-
-      Your project's main address is defined in :menuselection:`Settings --> Project Name`.
-
-      If you want to target a specific branch (production, staging or development), go to
-      :menuselection:`Branches --> select your branch --> Settings --> Custom domains`, and click on
-      :guilabel:`How to set up my domain?`. A message indicates which address your CNAME record
-      should target.
-
-#. Open your domain name's manager dashboard.
-#. Open the **DNS zone** management page for the domain name you want to configure.
-#. Create a **CNAME record** pointing to the address of your database.
-
-While Odoo suggests creating a CNAME record for your ``www.`` subdomain (``www.example.com``), you
-can of course use any domain name of your choice, with any subdomain (e.g.,
-``anything.example.com``).
-
-.. example::
-   You own the domain name ``example.com``, and you have an Odoo Online database at the address
-   ``example.odoo.com``. You want to access your Odoo database primarily with the domain
-   ``www.example.com`` but also with the :ref:`naked domain <domain-name/naked-domain>`
-   ``example.com``.
-
-   To do so, you create a CNAME record for the ``www`` subdomain, with ``example.odoo.com`` as the
-   target. The DNS zone manager generates the following rule and adds it to your DNS zone: ``www IN
-   CNAME example.odoo.com.``
-
-   You also create a redirection from ``example.com`` to ``wwww.example.com``.
-
-   Your new DNS records are propagated to all DNS servers.
-
-.. note::
-   Here are some specific guidelines to create a CNAME record:

-   - `Google Domains <https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290350?hl=en>`_
-
-.. _domain-name/naked-domain:
-
-Naked domain
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A **naked domain** is a domain name that doesn't have any subdomain at the beginning of the address
-(e.g., ``odoo.com`` instead of ``www.odoo.com``).
-
-You may want your naked domain to redirect to your website as some visitors may not type the full
-domain name to access your website.
-
-#. Open your domain name's manager dashboard.
-#. Create a **redirection** from the naked domain (``example.com``) to your main domain name
-   (``www.example.com``).
-
-.. note::
-   Depending on your domain name registrar, this redirection may be already pre-configured.
-
-.. _domain-name/db-map:
-
-Map your domain name with your Odoo database
--------------------------------------------
-
-.. tabs::
-
-   .. group-tab:: Odoo Online
-
-      Open your `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the
-      :guilabel:`settings` button next to your database, on :guilabel:`Domain names`, and then on
-      :guilabel:`Use my own domain` at the bottom of the right column.
-
-      Type the domain name you want to add to this database, then click on :guilabel:`Verify` to
-      check if the CNAME record is correctly configured. Once done, click on :guilabel:`I confirm,
-      it's done`.

-

-      Go to :menuselection:`Branches --> select your branch --> Settings --> Custom domains`, type
-      the domain name you want to add to this database, then click on :guilabel:`Add domain`.

-
-      .. seealso::
-         - :ref:`Odoo.sh branches: settings tab <odoosh-gettingstarted-branches-tabs-settings>`
-
-.. warning::
-   Make sure to :ref:`add a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>` to your domain name's DNS **before**
-   mapping your domain name with your Odoo database.
-
-   Failing to do so may impede the validation of the :ref:`SSL certificate <domain-name/ssl>` and
-   would result in a *certificate name mismatch* error. This is often displayed by web browsers as a
-   warning such as *"Your connection is not private"*.
-
-   If this is the case and you have added the domain name to your database's settings less than five
-   days ago, wait 24 hours as the validation may still happen. Otherwise, please `submit a support
-   ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ including screenshots of your CNAME records.
-
-.. _domain-name/ssl:
-
-SSL encryption (HTTPS protocol)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-**SSL encryption** is an encryption-based Internet security protocol. It allows your visitors to
-navigate your website through a secure connection, which appears as an ``https://`` protocol at the
-beginning of your web address, rather than a non-secure ``http://`` protocol.
-
-Odoo generates a separate SSL certificate for each domain :ref:`mapped in the database manager
-<domain-name/db-map>`, using integration with `Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority and ACME protocol
-<https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/>`_.
-
-.. note::
-   - The certificate generation may take up to 24h.
-   - Several attempts to validate your certificate are made during the five days following the
-     moment you add your domain name in your database's settings.
-   - If you already use another service, you can keep using it or simply change for Odoo.
-
-.. _domain-name/web-base-url:
-
-Web base URL of a database
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.. note::
-   If you have Odoo Website, you can disregard this part and directly :ref:`map your domain name
-   with your website <domain-name/website-map>`.
-
-The **web base URL** of a database, or **root URL** affects your main website address and all the
-links sent to your customers (e.g., quotations, portal links, etc.).
-
-To configure it, access your Odoo database with your custom address, then log in as an administrator
-of your database (any user in the *Settings* group) from the login screen.
-
-.. warning::
-   Connecting to your database with the original Odoo subdomain address (e.g., ``example.odoo.com``
-   also updates the web base URL of your database. See below to prevent these automatic updates.
-
-Alternatively, you can do it manually. To do so, activate the :ref:`developer mode
-<developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> System Parameters`.
-
-Find the key called ``web.base.url`` (or create it if it does not exist) and enter the full address
-of your website as value, such as ``https://www.example.com``.
-
-.. note::
-   The URL must include the protocol ``https://`` (or ``http://``) and must not end with a slash
-   (``/``).
-
-To prevent the automatic update of the web base URL when an administrator logs in the database, you
-can create the following System Parameter:
-
- key: ``web.base.url.freeze``
- value: ``True``
-
-.. _domain-name/website-map:
-
-Map your domain name with your website
-======================================
-
-Mapping your domain name to your website isn't the same as mapping it with your database:
-

-banner in the App Switcher. Make sure you do not add extra spaces before or after
-your subscription code. If the registration is successful, it will turn green and
-will provide you with the Expiration Date of your freshly-registered database. You

-
-* Do you have a valid Enterprise subscription?
-
-  * Check if your subscription details get the tag "In Progress" on
-    your `Odoo Account
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__ or with your Account Manager
-
-* Have you already linked a database with your subscription reference?
-
-  * You can link only one database per subscription.
-    (Need a test or a development database? `Find a partner
-    <https://www.odoo.com/partners>`__)
-
-  * You can unlink the old database yourself on your `Odoo Contract
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__ with the button "Unlink database"
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_single_db.png
-       :align: center
-
-    A confirmation message will appear; make sure this is the correct database as
-    it will be deactivated shortly:
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_confirm_enterprise_edition.png
-       :align: center
-
-* Do you have the updated version of Odoo 9?
-
-  * From July 2016 onward, Odoo 9 now automatically change the uuid of a
-    duplicated database; a manual operation is no longer required.
-
-  * If it's not the case, you may have multiple databases sharing the same
-    UUID. Please check on your `Odoo Contract
-    <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`__, a short message will appear
-    specifying which database is problematic:
-
-    .. image:: on_premise/unlink_db_name_collision.png
-       :align: center
-
-    In this case, you need to change the UUID on your test databases to solve this
-    issue. You will find more information about this in :ref:`this section <duplicate_premise>`.
-
-    For your information, we identify database with UUID. Therefore, each database
-    should have a distinct UUID to ensure that registration and invoicing proceed
-    effortlessly for your and for us.
-
-* Check your network and firewall settings
-
-  * The Update notification must be able to reach Odoo's subscription
-    validation servers. In other words, make sure that the Odoo server is able
-    to open outgoing connections towards:
-
-      * services.odoo.com on port 443 (or 80)
-      * services.openerp.com on port 443 (or 80) for older deployments
-
-  * Once you activated your database, you must keep these ports open, as the
-    Update notification runs once a week.

-Odoo Enterprise subscription, you may encounter this message:

-   :alt: This database will expire in X days, you have more users than your subscription allows
-
-
-When the message appears you have 30 days before the expiration.
-The countdown is updated everyday.
-
-Solutions
-~~~~~~~~~
-
- **Add more users** on your subscription: follow the link and Validate
-  the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.
- **Deactivate users** as explained in this `documentation <documentation.html#deactivating-users>`_
-  and **Reject** the upsell quotation.
-
-Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message
-will disappear automatically after a few days, when the next verification occurs.
-We understand that it can be a bit frightening to see the countdown,
-so you can :ref:`force an Update Notification <force_ping>`  to make the message disappear
-right away.

-The database uuid is currently accessible from the menu :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical -->

+======================
+Export and import data
+======================
+
+In Odoo, it is sometimes necessary to export or import data for running reports, or for data
+modification. This document covers the export and import of data into and out of Odoo.
+
+.. important::
+   Sometimes, users run into a 'time out' error, or a record does not process, due to its size. This
+   can occur with large exports, or in cases where the import file is too large. To circumvent this
+   limitation surrounding the size of the records, process exports or imports in smaller batches.
+
+.. _export-data:
+
+Export data from Odoo
+=====================
+
+When working with a database, it is sometimes necessary to export data in a distinct file. Doing so
+can aid in reporting on activities, although, Odoo provides a precise and easy reporting tool with
+each available application.
+
+With Odoo, the values can be exported from any field in any record. To do so, activate the list view
+(:guilabel:`☰ (three horizontal lines)` icon), on the items that need to be exported, and then
+select the records that should be exported. To select a record, tick the checkbox next to the
+corresponding record. Finally, click on :guilabel:`⚙️ Action`, and then :guilabel:`Export`.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/list-view-export.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: View of the different things to enable/click to export data.
+
+When clicking on :guilabel:`Export`, an :guilabel:`Export Data` pop-over window appears, with
+several options for the data to export:
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/export-data-overview.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Overview of options to consider when exporting data in Odoo..
+
+#. With the :guilabel:`I want to update data (import-compatable export)` option ticked, the system
+   only shows the fields that can be imported. This is helpful in the case where the existing
+   records need to be updated. This works like a filter. Leaving the box unticked, gives many more
+   field options because it shows all the fields, not just the ones that can be imported.
+#. When exporting, there is the option to export in two formats: `.csv` and `.xls`. With `.csv`,
+   items are separated by a comma, while `.xls` holds information about all the worksheets in a
+   file, including both content and formatting.
+#. These are the items that can be exported. Use the :guilabel:`> (right arrow)` icon to display
+   more sub-field options. Use the :guilabel:`Search` bar to find specific fields. To use the
+   :guilabel:`Search` option more efficiently, click on all the :guilabel:`> (right arrows)` to
+   display all fields.
+#. The :guilabel:`+ (plus sign)` icon button is present to add fields to the :guilabel:`Fields to
+   export` list.
+#. The :guilabel:`↕️ (up-down arrow)` to the left of the selected fields can be used to move the
+   fields up and down, to change the order in which they are displayed in the exported file.
+   Drag-and-drop using the :guilabel:`↕️ (up-down arrow)` icon.
+#. The :guilabel:`🗑️ (trash can)` icon is used to remove fields. Click on the :guilabel:`🗑️ (trash
+   can)` icon to remove the field.
+#. For recurring reports, it is helpful to save export presets. Select all the needed fields, and
+   click on the template drop-down menu. Once there, click on :guilabel:`New template`, and give a
+   unique name to the export just created. The next time the same list needs to be exported, select
+   the related template that was previously saved from the drop-down menu.
+
+.. tip::
+   It is helpful to know the field's external identifier. For example, :guilabel:`Related Company`
+   in the export user interface is equal to *parent_id* (external identifier). This is helpful
+   because then, the only data exported is what should be modified and re-imported.
+
+.. _import-data:
+
+Import data into Odoo
+=====================
+
+Importing data into Odoo is extremely helpful during implementation, or in times where data needs to
+be updated in bulk. The following documentation covers how to import data into an Odoo database.
+
+.. warning::
+   Imports are permanent and **cannot** be undone. However, it is possible to use filters (`created
+   on` or `last modified`) to identify records changed or created by the import.
+
+.. tip::
+   Activating :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>` changes the visible import settings in the left
+   menu. Doing so reveals an :menuselection:`Advanced` menu. Included in this advanced menu are two
+   options: :guilabel:`Track history during import` and :guilabel:`Allow matching with subfields`.
+
+   .. image:: export_import_data/advanced-import.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Advanced import options when developer mode is activated.
+
+   If the model uses openchatter, the :guilabel:`Track history during import` option sets up
+   subscriptions and sends notifications during the import, but leads to a slower import.
+
+   Should the :guilabel:`Allow matching with subfields` option be selected, then all subfields
+   within a field are used to match under the :guilabel:`Odoo Field` while importing.
+
+Get started
+-----------
+
+Data can be imported on any Odoo business object using either Excel (`.xlsx`) or :abbr:`CSV
+(Comma-separated Values)` (`.csv`) formats. This includes: contacts, products, bank statements,
+journal entries, and orders.
+
+Open the view of the object to which the data should be imported/populated, and click on
+:menuselection:`⭐ Favorites --> Import records`.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/import-button.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt:  Favorites menu revealed with the import records option highlighted.
+
+After clicking :guilabel:`Import records`, Odoo reveals a separate page with templates that can be
+downloaded and populated with the company's own data. Such templates can be imported in one click,
+since the data mapping is already done. To download a template click :guilabel:`Import Template for
+Customers` at the center of the page.
+
+.. important::
+   When importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, Odoo provides :guilabel:`Formatting`
+   options. These options do **not** appear when importing the proprietary Excel file type (`.xls`,
+   `.xlsx`).
+
+   .. image:: export_import_data/formatting.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Formatting options presented when a CVS file is imported in Odoo.
+
+Make necessary adjustments to the *Formatting* options, and ensure all columns in the
+:guilabel:`Odoo field` and :guilabel:`File Column` are free of errors. Finally, click
+:guilabel:`Import` to import the data.
+
+Adapt a template
+----------------
+
+Import templates are provided in the import tool of the most common data to import (contacts,
+products, bank statements, etc.). Open them with any spreadsheet software (*Microsoft Office*,
+*OpenOffice*, *Google Drive*, etc.).
+
+Once the template is downloaded, proceed to follow these steps:
+
+- Add, remove, and sort columns to best fit the data structure.
+- It is strongly advised to **not** remove the :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) column (see why in the
+  next section).
+- Set a unique ID to every record by dragging down the ID sequencing in the :guilabel:`External ID`
+  (ID) column.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/dragdown.gif
+   :align: center
+   :alt: An animation of the mouse dragging down the ID column, so each record has a unique ID.
+
+.. note::
+   When a new column is added, Odoo may not be able to map it automatically, if its label does not
+   fit any field within Odoo. However, new columns can be mapped manually when the import is tested.
+   Search the drop-down menu for the corresponding field.
+
+   .. image:: export_import_data/field_list.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Drop-down menu expanded in the initial import screen on Odoo.
+
+   Then, use this field's label in the import file to ensure future imports are successful.
+
+.. tip::
+   Another useful way to find out the proper column names to import is to export a sample file
+   using the fields that should be imported. This way, if there is not a sample import template,
+   the names are accurate.
+
+Import from another application
+-------------------------------
+
+The :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) is a unique identifier for the line item. Feel free to use one
+from previous software to facilitate the transition to Odoo.
+
+Setting an ID is not mandatory when importing, but it helps in many cases:
+
+- Update imports: import the same file several times without creating duplicates.
+- :ref:`Import relation fields <export_import_data/relation-fields>`.
+
+To recreate relationships between different records, the unique identifier from the original
+application should be used to map it to the :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) column in Odoo.
+
+When another record is imported that links to the first one, use **XXX/ID** (XXX/External ID) for
+the original unique identifier. This record can also be found using its name.
+
+.. warning::
+   It should be noted that there will be a conflict if two or more records have the same name.
+
+The :guilabel:`External ID` (ID) can also be used to update the original import, if modified data
+needs to be re-imported later, therefore, it is a good practice to specify it whenever possible.
+
+Field missing to map column
+---------------------------
+
+Odoo heuristically tries to find the type of field for each column inside the imported file, based
+on the first ten lines of the files.
+
+For example, if there is a column only containing numbers, only the fields with the *integer* type
+are presented as options.
+
+While this behavior might be beneficial in most cases, it is also possible that it could fail, or
+the column may be mapped to a field that is not proposed by default.
+
+If this happens, check the :guilabel:`Show fields of relation fields (advanced) option`, then a
+complete list of fields becomes available for each column.
+
+.. image:: export_import_data/field_list.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Searching for the field to match the tax column.
+
+Change data import format
+-------------------------
+
+.. note::
+   Odoo can automatically detect if a column is a date, and tries to guess the date format from a
+   set of most commonly used date formats. While this process can work for many date formats, some
+   date formats are not recognizable. This can cause confusion, due to day-month inversions; it is
+   difficult to guess which part of a date format is the day, and which part is the month, in a
+   date, such as `01-03-2016`.
+
+When importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, Odoo provides :guilabel:`Formatting`
+options.
+
+To view which date format Odoo has found from the file, check the :guilabel:`Date Format` that is
+shown when clicking on options under the file selector. If this format is incorrect, change it to
+the preferred format using *ISO 8601* to define the format.
+
+.. important::
+   *ISO 8601* is an international standard, covering the worldwide exchange, along with the
+   communication of date and time-related data. For example, the date format should be `YYYY-MM-DD`.
+   So, in the case of July 24th 1981, it should be written as `1981-07-24`.
+
+.. tip::
+   When importing Excel files (`.xls`, `.xlsx`), consider using *date cells* to store dates. This
+   maintains locale date formats for display, regardless of how the date is formatted in Odoo. When
+   importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, use Odoo's :guilabel:`Formatting` section
+   to select the date format columns to import.
+
+Import numbers with currency signs
+----------------------------------
+
+Odoo fully supports numbers with parenthesis to represent negative signs, as well as numbers with
+currency signs attached to them. Odoo also automatically detects which thousand/decimal separator is
+used. If a currency symbol unknown to Odoo is used, it might not be recognized as a number, and the
+import crashes.
+
+.. note::
+   When importing a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file, the :guilabel:`Formatting` menu
+   appears on the left-hand column. Under these options, the :guilabel:`Thousands Separator` can be
+   changed.
+
+Examples of supported numbers (using 'thirty-two thousand' as the figure):
+
+- 32.000,00
+- 32000,00
+- 32,000.00
+- -32000.00
+- (32000.00)
+- $ 32.000,00
+- (32000.00 €)
+
+Example that will not work:
+
+- ABC 32.000,00
+- $ (32.000,00)
+
+.. important::
+   A :guilabel:`() (parenthesis)` around the number indicates that the number is a negative value.
+   The currency symbol **must** be placed within the parenthesis for Odoo to recognize it as a
+   negative currency value.
+
+Import preview table not displayed correctly
+--------------------------------------------
+
+By default, the import preview is set on commas as field separators, and quotation marks as text
+delimiters. If the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file does not have these settings, modify
+the :guilabel:`Formatting` options (displayed under the :guilabel:`Import` :abbr:`CSV
+(Comma-separated Values)` file bar after selecting the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file).
+
+.. important::
+   If the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file has a tabulation as a separator, Odoo does
+   **not** detect the separations. The file format options need to be modified in the spreadsheet
+   application. See the following :ref:`Change CSV file format <export_import_data/change-csv>`
+   section.
+
+.. _export_import_data/change-csv:
+
+Change CSV file format in spreadsheet application
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+When editing and saving :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files in spreadsheet applications, the
+computer's regional settings are applied for the separator and delimiter. Odoo suggests using
+*OpenOffice* or *LibreOffice*, as both applications allow modifications of all three options (from
+*LibreOffice* application, go to :menuselection:`'Save As' dialog box --> Check the box 'Edit filter
+settings' --> Save`).
+
+Microsoft Excel can modify the encoding when saving (:menuselection:`'Save As' dialog box -->
+'Tools' drop-down menu --> Encoding tab`).
+
+Difference between Database ID and External ID
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Some fields define a relationship with another object. For example, the country of a contact is a
+link to a record of the 'Country' object. When such fields are imported, Odoo has to recreate links
+between the different records. To help import such fields, Odoo provides three mechanisms.
+
+.. important::
+   **Only one** mechanism should be used per field that is imported.
+
+For example, to reference the country of a contact, Odoo proposes three different fields to import:
+
+- :guilabel:`Country`: the name or code of the country
+- :guilabel:`Country/Database ID`: the unique Odoo ID for a record, defined by the ID PostgreSQL
+  column
+- :guilabel:`Country/External ID`: the ID of this record referenced in another application (or the
+  `.XML` file that imported it)
+
+For the country of Belgium, for example, use one of these three ways to import:
+
+- :guilabel:`Country`: `Belgium`
+- :guilabel:`Country/Database ID`: `21`
+- :guilabel:`Country/External ID`: `base.be`
+
+According to the company's need, use one of these three ways to reference records in relations. Here
+is an example when one or the other should be used, according to the need:
+
+- Use :guilabel:`Country`: this is the easiest way when data comes from :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated
+  Values)` files that have been created manually.
+- Use :guilabel:`Country/Database ID`: this should rarely be used. It is mostly used by developers
+  as the main advantage is to never have conflicts (there may be several records with the same name,
+  but they always have a unique Database ID)
+- Use :guilabel:`Country/External ID`: use *External ID* when importing data from a third-party
+  application.
+
+When *External IDs* are used, import :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files with the
+:guilabel:`External ID` (ID) column defining the *External ID* of each record that is imported.
+Then, a reference can be made to that record with columns, like `Field/External ID`. The following
+two :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files provide an example for products and their categories.
+
+- :download:`CSV file for categories
+  <export_import_data/External_id_3rd_party_application_product_categories.csv>`
+- :download:`CSV file for Products
+  <export_import_data/External_id_3rd_party_application_products.csv>`
+
+.. _export_import_data/relation-fields:
+
+Import relation fields
+----------------------
+
+An Odoo object is always related to many other objects (e.g. a product is linked to product
+categories, attributes, vendors, etc.). To import those relations, the records of the related object
+need to be imported first, from their own list menu.
+
+This can be achieved by using either the name of the related record, or its ID, depending on the
+circumstances. The ID is expected when two records have the same name. In such a case add `/ ID`
+at the end of the column title (e.g. for product attributes: `Product Attributes / Attribute / ID`).
+
+Options for multiple matches on fields
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If, for example, there are two product categories with the child name `Sellable` (e.g. `Misc.
+Products/Sellable` & `Other Products/Sellable`), the validation is halted, but the data may still be
+imported. However, Odoo recommends that the data is not imported because it will all be linked to
+the first `Sellable` category found in the *Product Category* list (`Misc. Products/Sellable`).
+Odoo, instead, recommends modifying one of the duplicate's values, or the product category
+hierarchy.
+
+However, if the company does not wish to change the configuration of product categories, Odoo
+recommends making use of the *External ID* for this field, 'Category'.
+
+Import many2many relationship fields
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The tags should be separated by a comma, without any spacing. For example, if a customer needs to be
+linked to both tags: `Manufacturer` and `Retailer` then 'Manufacturer,Retailer' needs to be encoded
+in the same column of the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file.
+
+- :download:`CSV file for Manufacturer, Retailer <export_import_data/m2m_customers_tags.csv>`
+
+Import one2many relationships
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If a company wants to import a sales order with several order lines, a specific row **must** be
+reserved in the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file for each order line. The first order line
+is imported on the same row as the information relative to order. Any additional lines need an
+additional row that does not have any information in the fields relative to the order.
+
+As an example, here is a :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file of some quotations that can be
+imported, based on demo data:
+
+- :download:`File for some Quotations
+  <export_import_data/purchase.order_functional_error_line_cant_adpat.csv>`
+
+The following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file shows how to import purchase orders with
+their respective purchase order lines:
+
+- :download:`Purchase orders with their respective purchase order lines
+  <export_import_data/o2m_purchase_order_lines.csv>`
+
+The following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file shows how to import customers and their
+respective contacts:
+
+- :download:`Customers and their respective contacts
+  <export_import_data/o2m_customers_contacts.csv>`
+
+Import records several times
+----------------------------
+
+If an imported file contains one of the columns: :guilabel:`External ID` or :guilabel:`Database ID`,
+records that have already been imported are modified, instead of being created. This is extremely
+useful as it allows users to import the same :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file several
+times, while having made some changes in between two imports.
+
+Odoo takes care of creating or modifying each record, depending if it is new or not.
+
+This feature allows a company to use the *Import/Export tool* in Odoo to modify a batch of records
+in a spreadsheet application.
+
+Value not provided for a specific field
+---------------------------------------
+
+If all fields are not set in the CSV file, Odoo assigns the default value for every non-defined
+field. But, if fields are set with empty values in the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file,
+Odoo sets the empty value in the field, instead of assigning the default value.
+
+Export/import different tables from an SQL application to Odoo
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If data needs to be imported from different tables, relations need to be recreated between records
+belonging to different tables. For instance, if companies and people are imported, the link between
+each person and the company they work for needs to be recreated.
+
+To manage relations between tables, use the `External ID` facilities of Odoo. The `External ID` of a
+record is the unique identifier of this record in another application. The `External ID` must be
+unique across all records of all objects. It is a good practice to prefix this `External ID` with
+the name of the application or table. (like, 'company_1', 'person_1' - instead of '1')
+
+As an example, suppose there is an SQL database with two tables that are to be imported: companies
+and people. Each person belongs to one company, so the link between a person and the company they
+work for must be recreated.
+
+Test this example, with a :download:`sample of a PostgreSQL database
+<export_import_data/database_import_test.sql>`.
+
+First, export all companies and their *External ID*. In PSQL, write the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   > copy (select 'company_'||id as "External ID",company_name as "Name",'True' as "Is a Company" from companies) TO '/tmp/company.csv' with CSV HEADER;
+
+This SQL command creates the following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   External ID,Name,Is a Company
+   company_1,Bigees,True
+   company_2,Organi,True
+   company_3,Boum,True
+
+To create the :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file for people linked to companies, use the
+following SQL command in PSQL:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    > copy (select 'person_'||id as "External ID",person_name as "Name",'False' as "Is a Company",'company_'||company_id as "Related Company/External ID" from persons) TO '/tmp/person.csv' with CSV
+
+It produces the following :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` file:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+   External ID,Name,Is a Company,Related Company/External ID
+   person_1,Fabien,False,company_1

+
+In this file, Fabien and Laurence are working for the Bigees company (`company_1`), and Eric is
+working for the Organi company. The relation between people and companies is done using the
+*External ID* of the companies. The *External ID* is prefixed by the name of the table to avoid a
+conflict of ID between people and companies (`person_1` and `company_1`, who shared the same ID 1 in
+the original database).
+
+The two files produced are ready to be imported in Odoo without any modifications. After having
+imported these two :abbr:`CSV (Comma-separated Values)` files, there are four contacts and three
+companies (the first two contacts are linked to the first company). Keep in mind to first import
+the companies, and then the people.

+
+In-app purchases (IAP) are optional services that enhance Odoo databases. Each service provides its
+own specific features and functionality. A full list of services is available on the `Odoo IAP
+Catalog <https://iap.odoo.com/iap/all-in-app-services>`_.

+   :alt: The IAP catalog with various services available on IAP.Odoo.com.
+
+.. example::
+   The :guilabel:`SMS` service sends text messages to contacts directly from the database, and the
+   :guilabel:`Documents Digitization` service digitizes scanned or PDF vendor bills, expenses, and
+   resumes with optical character recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence (AI).
+
+|IAP| services do **not** need to be configured or set up before use. Odoo users can simply click on
+the service in the app to activate it. However, each service requires its own prepaid credits, and
+when they run out, users **must** :ref:`buy more <iap/buying_credits>` in order to keep using it.

+.. note::
+   Users with an Enterprise version of Odoo Online get free credits to test IAP features.

+
+Use IAP services
+----------------
+
+|IAP| services are automatically integrated with Odoo, and do **not** require users to configure any
+settings. To use a service, simply interact with it wherever it appears in the database.
+
+.. example::
+   The following flow focuses on the *SMS* |IAP| service being used from a contact's record.
+
+   This can be done by clicking the :guilabel:`📱 (phone) SMS` icon within the database.
+
+   .. image:: in_app_purchase/sms-icon.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: The SMS icon on a typical contact information form located within an Odoo database.
+
+   One way to utilize the *SMS* |IAP| service with Odoo is showcased in the following steps:
+
+   #. Navigate to the :menuselection:`Contacts application`, and click on a contact with a mobile
+      phone number entered in either the :guilabel:`Phone` or :guilabel:`Mobile` field of the
+      contact form.
+   #. Hover the mouse over the :guilabel:`Phone` or :guilabel:`Mobile` field, and a :guilabel:`📱
+      (phone) SMS` icon appears to the right.
+   #. Click the :guilabel:`📱 (phone) SMS` icon, and a :guilabel:`Send SMS Text Message` pop-up
+      window appears.
+   #. Type a message in the :guilabel:`Message` field of the :guilabel:`Send SMS Text Message`
+      pop-up window. Then, click the :guilabel:`Send SMS` button. Odoo then sends the message, via
+      SMS, to the contact, and logs what was sent in the *chatter* of the contact's form.
+
+   Upon sending the SMS message, the prepaid credits for the *SMS* |IAP| service are automatically
+   deducted from the existing credits. If there are not enough credits to send the message, Odoo
+   prompts the user to purchase more.
+
+.. seealso::
+   For more information on how to use various |IAP| services, and for more in-depth instructions
+   related to SMS functionality in Odoo, review the documentation below:
+
+   - :doc:`Lead mining </applications/sales/crm/acquire_leads/lead_mining>`

+
+.. _in_app_purchase/credits:
+
+IAP credits
+===========
+
+Every time an |IAP| service is used, the prepaid credits for that service are spent. Odoo prompts
+the purchase of more credits when there are not enough credits left to continue using a service.
+Email alerts can also be set up for when :ref:`credits are low <in_app_purchase/low-credits>`.
+
+Credits are purchased in *Packs* from the `Odoo IAP Catalog
+<https://iap.odoo.com/iap/all-in-app-services>`_, and pricing is specific to each service.
+
+.. example::
+   The `SMS service <https://iap.odoo.com/iap/in-app-services/1>`_ has four packs available, in
+   denominations of:
+
+   - :guilabel:`Starter Pack`: 10 credits
+   - :guilabel:`Standard Pack`: 100 credits
+   - :guilabel:`Advanced Pack`: 500 credits
+   - :guilabel:`Expert Pack`: 1,000 credits
+
+   .. image:: in_app_purchase/packs.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Four different packs of credits for the SMS IAP service.
+
+   The number of credits consumed depends on the length of the SMS and the country of destination.
