This module provides a wizard to post many Journal Entries in batch. it uses the queue system introduced by the OpenERP Connector to handle a big quantity of moves in batch.
The module account_default_draft_move introduces a workflow where the Journal Entries are always entered in OpenERP in draft state, and the posting happens later, for example at the end of the period. The core account module provides a wizard to post all the moves in the period, but that is problematic when there are many moves.
The posting of a move takes some time, and doing that synchronously, in one transaction is problematic.
In this module, we leverage the power of the queue system of the OpenERP Connector, that can be very well used without other concepts like Backends and Bindings.
This approach provides many advantages, similar to the ones we get using that connector for e-commerce:
- Asynchronous: the operation is done in background, and users can continue to work.
- Dedicated workers: the queued jobs are performed by specific workers (processes). This is good for a long task, since the main workers are busy handling HTTP requests and can be killed if operations take too long, for example.
- Multiple transactions: this is an operation that doesn't need to be atomic, and if a line out of 100,000 fails, it is possible to catch it, see the error message, and fix the situation. Meanwhile, all other jobs can proceed.
