FAQs [back]

Is this app compatible with Odoo Enterprise as well as Community?
Yes, the app works perfectly well with Odoo Enterprise (On-premise tested) as well as Community. Odoo Online (Cloud) does not allow installation of third-party apps and hence this app cannot be installed on Odoo Online.

I need an extra feature in this app (e.g. new business logic for addon services that are not yet supported). Please note that most of the addon service configurations do not need any coding. How can I request it?
Please contact us to request customization.

Do I get free upgrades and configuration advices if I purchase the app?
Yes, you can download new versions of this app from Odoo's App store. Also free configuration advices are included in the price. See Odoo Apps FAQ for more information. Please contact us to request customization.

Is it possible to manage local carriers with this app?
Yes, this app can manage local carriers. You just need to add them as neutral carriers in nShift. Contacting is done in email messages (not EDI messages). Please contact nShift support for more information.

Automated tests
The purpose of automated tests is to verify that Odoo data is copied to proper fields of JSON message and general validity of message. Two tests are implemented: one for test checkbox selected and another for test checkbox left empty.

What automated tests actually do?

• Automated tests create all necessary data for generating nShift messages e.g. warehouse, customer, sale orders, delivery order, delivery method, delivery method addons.
• Tests generate JSON message.
• JSON message is compared to message from real customer case.
