Add settings to generate .txt files

[simahawk]

I'm not sure to understand this work. What is the final goal? Can you provide a real use case?
In addition, can't you use an exchange template to generate TXT?

Hola @simahawk I'll tell you about this job.

Objective:
To allow, through configurations, the generation or import of a .txt file (This is the type defined initially, but it can be extended to generate other types of documents).

Real-world example: GENERATE FILE
A client needs to generate .txt files with the transfers to send via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). For example:

They need the following .txt document:

CABALMOUT12345 20260225N
LIN202602251 8414354411344

Details:

Line 1:
CAB (1 - 3 - 3):

Description: Line identifier.

Expression: ‘CAB’
ALMOUT12345 (4 - 20 - 24):

Description: Delivery note number

Expression: sanitize_value(record.name)
20260225 (24 - 8 - 32):

Description: Delivery note date

Expression: record.date_done.strftime('%Y%m%d') if record.date_done else ""
N (32 - 1 - 33):

Description: Order type

Expression: # N = Goods shipment notification (Normal, default)
# D = Return
'N'

Configuration:

Line 2:
LIN (1 - 3 - 4):

Description: Line identifier

Expression: ‘LIN’
1 (4 - 8 - 12):

Description: Delivery note date

Expression: record.picking_id.date_done.strftime('%Y%m%d') if record.picking_id.date_done else ""
1 (12 - 4 - 16):

Description: Line number

Expression: num_line or record.id
8414354411344 (16 - 13 - 29):

Description: Barcode of product X

Expression: record.product_id.barcode or ""

Configuration:

Notes:

1. The numeric range within the parentheses: Start - Size - End
2. record: corresponds to the current object being iterated according to the selected model.

Luego de realizar todas la configuraciones se puede realizar un test (Test generare file) el cual evalúa todas las expresiones sin generar el archivo final.

Cuando s verifica que todo esta correcto se procede a ejecutar la generación del fichero mediante el botón Generate file, el cual se muestra cuando se habilita la configuración (Enabled)

I'm still testing some scenarios with real clients to cover the most generic aspects, and in more specific cases the methods can be extended and adjusted according to the needs of each project.
