Hi,

I configured an Odoo 8 instance, using my company actual domain, and actual email user logins/passwords…

Config A…
1. Entered an enquiry@mycompanyname.com as company email via "Configure your company data" in General Settings.
2. Applied my company's actual domain name as the Alias Domain in General Settings.
3. Restarted the instance after the steps above.
4. Created an outgoing SMTP using smtp.gmail.com. Deleted the localhost entry. There was only one outgoing mail server entry
5. Created 2 users' incoming mail servers entries, using users' actual company email accounts that exist in company mail server.
6. Applied the actual users' email addresses as Messaging Alias in the respective User Preference.
7. I did not delete mail.catchall.alias entry in system parameters.

With this config, I was able to successfully
a. Send Reset Password Instruction to users' company email accounts
b. Send a new email to the the 3rd gmail account from a user within Odoo.
c. Receive emails from a 3rd gmail account, to the 2 users' message inboxes within Odoo
d. Reply the emails sent by 3rd gmail account from user's message inboxes.

However, whenever I made just this change…
Config B…
1. Replaced the out outgoing mail server from smtp.gmail.com to one of the users' valid company email accounts tested in Config A above, then
a. Failed: Send Reset Password Instruction to users' company email accounts
b. Failed: Send a new email to the the 3rd gmail account from a user within Odoo
c. Passed: Receive emails from a 3rd gmail account, to the 2 users' message inboxes within Odoo
d. Failed: the emails sent by 3rd gmail account from user's message inboxes failed.
2. The file attached is an error message when I attempted to Send Reset Password Instruction. All other action did not have any pop up messages. Only shown as a liner record showing Delivery Failed in General Settings->Email:Emails

When I reverted back to smtp.gmail.com, then everything worked again.

My desire is to have external party sees my company domain in messages sent out from Odoo messaging, instead of seeing the gmail.com account address. I was using company smtp server thinking that I could achieve this desire. May I know if there is anyone who could help, what can I do to achieve the stated desire.

Thank you in advance.

I would like to add Skype field to partner form to store Skype Name of our partners. I follow the instruction but I don't know what type of field to choose. Should it be char or text?

Dear all,

I want to add extra cost other than the product cost, such as transportation, freight, loading, or even customs.
I want to add these costs together, and then distributed to the products or POs i choosed, in order to recalculate the price in the PO itself, and update it in inventory.
I tried to use Landed Cost but i couldn't perform such calculation, I also tried to perform it using Purchase Cost Distribution but when click on Update i got that error:

Integrity Error

The operation cannot be completed, probably due to the following:
- deletion: you may be trying to delete a record while other records still reference it
- creation/update: a mandatory field is not correctly set

[object with reference: journal_id - journal.id]

Can any one help me with this please.
Thanks

# The current user may not have access rights for sale orders
try:
for partner in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context):
setOfInvoices = self.env['account.invoice'].search([('id', "in", partner.invoice_ids)])
total = 0
for invoice in setOfInvoices:
total += invoice.amount
res[partner.id] = total
except:
pass
return res

_columns = {
'sum_payments': fields.function(_get_sum_pay, string='# SUM', type='float'),

Kindly let me know the procedure to make Employee Advance Request ?
I can't see the analytic account option in that form. In many cases, when the staff ask for Advance Request, s/he needs to mentioned the Analytic Account to make sure that there is still budget available on it and the supervisor approve and finance pay.

After the staff return, where s/he has to put/input the actual transactions ?
How to settle the cash advance if the actual expense is over / under the cash advance request.
