+Create Mouser shopping cart from purchase order
+ +This is a plugin for InvenTree, which translates a purchase order +into a Mouser shopping cart. After using this plugin you can directly order the shopping +cart on the Mouser WEB page. You need to have a Mouser account and a Mouser API key. +The shopping cart will be created in your Mouser account.
+ +Prerequisites
+ +For this plugin to work you need to have Mouser as as supplier in your InvenTree data. +Suppliers parts must be added to all the parts that you like to buy at Mouser. All Mouser supplier +parts need to have the proper SKU. It needs to match the Mouser part number exactly.
+ +For access to the Mouser API you need a Mouser account and a shopping cart API key. +You can get this on the Mouser WEB page. Do not mess up with the Mouser search API +key. This is different. If the key is properly set up you can find it on the Mouser +WEB page here:
+ +
Installation
+ +pip install git+https://github.com/SergeoLacruz/inventree-supplier-panel
+Configuration
+Mouser Supplier ID
+Place here the primary key of the supplier Mouser in your system. You can select from a list of +your suppliers.
+ +Supplier API key
+Place here you Mouser key for manipulating shopping carts.
+ +Supplier shopping cart key
+Each shopping cart on the Mouser page has a designated key. You can have several shopping carts +in our account. Each cart has a separate key. The plugin puts your PO into the cart with this key. +If you do not have a shopping cart key, leave the field empty. The plugin will create a cart +and save the key in the field.
+ +Proxies
+In case you need to authorise a proxy server between your InvenTree server and the internet +put the required setting here. The argument for the request is {‘Proxy CON’ : ‘Proxy URL’} for +example:
+ +{ 'https' : 'https://user:password@ipaddress:port' }
+If you do not need this just leave Proxy CON empty.
+ +What it does
+ +The plugin creates a new panel which is visible on the purchase order details view. +This is called Mouser actions. On the panel there are three things:
+ +-
+
- a button that starts the transfer of your PO to Mouser +
- a status bar that shows error messages +
- a table that contains the created Mouser shopping cart. +
The button initiates the transfer. It takes each element of your PO, takes the SKU of +the Mouser supplier part and adds it into your shopping cart. When finished it downloads +the shopping cart from the Mouser WEB page and puts the data into the table. Here you see +the actual stock at mouser and an OK bubble when the stock is large enough for you order. +You also find the actual price as well as the total amount of your order.
+ +All items that have been in the cart before get deleted. The cart always contains only the parts +in your PO. SergelLacruz
+ +The plugin also transfers your IPNs (internal part numbers). Mouser reserves a field +for such numbers. They show up in your shopping cart as well as on the invoice and even +on the labels that they put onto the bags and reels.
+ +Finally the prices that come with the Mouser shopping cart will be copied back into your +InvenTree purchase order line items. So you can always see what you payed for the part when +you ordered it. This does not modify the price breaks of the supplier part. These are stored +with the supplier part. Here we just modify the purchase order.
+ +The panel is only displayed when the supplier of the current purchase order is Mouser. +In addition the current user must have change, add or delete access to purchase orders.
+ +Issues
+Mouser messed up
+It can happen that the Mouser shopping cart API gets messed up and no item are added into +your cart. Just delete the cart in that case and delete the key in the plugin setting. +A new key will be created and usually works.
+ +API keys are global
+The API keys and especially the proxy password are user specific and shall not be given to +others. Up to now there are no user specific settings in InvenTree. So these keys are global +and visible to, at least every admin. All users who use the plugin will have the same +keys. We use a team key to solve this.
+ +Other suppliers
+Actually this works only for Mouser. Other suppliers like Digikey, Farnell or Buerklin +might follow.
