Dummy Data for Dolibarr ERP

Keywords: Dolibarr, ERP, company data, test

This set of functions creates fake company and contact data for the open source ERP System dolibarr. Currently data can be created for instances of companies and (person) contacts within these companies.

Motivation

In order to demonstrate the capabilities of Dolibarr to prospects it's helpful to have a significant number of (dummy) contacts with different categories (customer, prospect, supplier; active / inactive...). This helps showing also the performance of a web hosted database with a large number of contacts.

Usage

Localisation

To have realistic looking data, the faker module is used. Faker can be customized to output data in country specific format and content: company and person names, civility of persons, address format, regional city names. To localize to your needs change the faker locale.

Output to file - import file format of Dolibarr

Dolibarr can input data via .csv files. From Dolibarr it's possible to output a template file. The structure of the file (entries and order of the entries in columns) can change from version to version. To easily obtain the structure use the read_structure function. data_structure = read_structure(TemplateFileName, dictionary_with_mapping)

Generate company data

1. create CompanyData object
2. call generate method

CG = GenerateCompanyData(outputfile_company, data_structure[0], count_company, test=test) company_name_and_address = CG.generate()
