Overview

The Monta-Odoo Integration module is designed to connect Odoo 18.0 with the Monta Warehouse Management System (WMS). It helps businesses automate their logistics processes by synchronizing sales orders, inbound forecasts, expected delivery dates, and stock data between Odoo and Monta in real time.

This integration is particularly useful for businesses operating warehouses and fulfillment centers in the Netherlands that rely on Monta for their logistics management. By using this module, you can eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors, and ensure both systems always stay up to date.

Main Features

1. Sales Order Synchronization
   The module automatically sends all sales order details from Odoo to Monta. This includes product information, SKUs, prices, and shipping or billing addresses. Once the order is received in Monta, any updates such as delivery schedules, shipment tracking, or order status changes are sent back to Odoo. This ensures that Odoo always reflects the most accurate order and shipping information.
   Each order in Odoo is linked to its corresponding Monta order reference for easy traceability.

2. Inbound Forecast and Vendor Synchronization
   When a purchase order or inbound order is created in Odoo, the details are automatically transmitted to Monta. This allows Monta to forecast incoming goods and prepare warehouse operations in advance.
   To make this process smooth, it is important that all vendors in Odoo are also registered in Monta. This ensures that every inbound order, along with its products, quantities, and expected delivery dates, is synchronized correctly. Any changes made in Odoo to delivery schedules will automatically update in Monta as well.

3. Stock Level Synchronization
   The module continuously synchronizes stock quantities between Monta and Odoo. Any changes in stock levels in Monta are reflected in Odoo, keeping both systems aligned. It also supports synchronization of minimum stock levels, allowing you to maintain accurate stock records and avoid shortages or overstocking.

4. Automated and Manual Synchronization
   A cron job runs every 30 minutes to automatically update orders, inbound forecasts, and stock data between Odoo and Monta. This automation keeps your systems synchronized without requiring manual work.
   If needed, you can also manually trigger synchronization from within Odoo using provided buttons or menu options.

5. Order Overview Page
   The module includes a dedicated page in Odoo where you can view all the order details received from Monta. This makes it easy to monitor which orders have been imported and verify that the synchronization is working properly.

Configuration

After installing the Monta-Odoo Integration module, you will need to configure your Monta API credentials inside Odoo.

To configure:

1. Go to Odoo Settings.

2. Navigate to Technical → System Parameters.

3. Add the following parameters:

   • monta_username

   • monta_password

   • monta_base_url

   • monta_timeout

   • monta.inbound_enable
     set value 1

4. Save your credentials.

Once this setup is complete, the module will automatically start synchronizing data according to the defined cron schedule. You can also initiate manual synchronization at any time.

Key Requirements

• All products must exist in both Odoo and Monta with the same SKU values. This ensures that products are correctly matched during synchronization.

• All vendors in Odoo must be present in Monta for inbound forecasts to sync properly.
