Panel plugin for Mouser to create a shopping cart from a PO

[SergeoLacruz]

Hi,
I created a plugin that allows to transfer an InvenTree PO into a mouser shopping cart. The plugin is ready to be used. Anyhow there are things I'd like to impove in the near future. Some Ideas are at the end of the docs. Has anyone an idea how to come from the purchaseorderdetailview to the supplier in an easy way?
If you like have a look and send feedback. the code is here:

@SergeoLacruz I really like what you have done here! In future I would like to provide some of this functionality in a generic fashion - there is some stuff in the works here.

It should be quite straight-forward to determine the supplier ID from the PurchaseOrderDetail page:

SETTINGS = {
    ...,
    {
        'MOUSER_PK': {
            'name': 'Mouser Supplier ID',
            'description': 'Primary key of the Mouser supplier',
            'model': 'company.company',
        }
    }
}

def get_custom_panels(self, view, request):
    panels = []

    # Extract ID for Mouser supplier
    mouser_pk = int(self.get_setting('MOUSER_PK'))

    # Only display this panel for orders from "Mouser"
    if isinstance(view, PurchaseOrderDetail):
        order = instance.get_object()
        if order.supplier.pk == mouser_pk:
            panels.append({
                'title': 'Mouser Actions',
                'icon': 'fa-user',
                'content_template': 'supplier_panel/mouser.html', 
            })

    return panels

Where does instance come from?

[SchrodingersGat]

Oops that should be view.get_object

Very nice plugin, keep up the great work!!

[SergeoLacruz]

Thanks for the hint. That's really easy. I pushed an update :-)

[wolflu05]

This is a really cool idea for a plugin. But I'm not sure what the scope of your plugin is. Are you planning to extend this to other suppliers as well as your generic title indicates? (Btw, your description contains a spelling mistake - chopping cart)

[SergeoLacruz]

Fixwd. Thanks.
Yes. As Digikey managed to approve my account after six weeks of discussions about a too long email address...
This will be the next. I have seen that something already exists.
But first we need again something that adds supplier parts more or less automatically.
Will take time.

You're E-Mail address is too long 😃?

I have seen that something already exist

What do you mean by this?

Due to adding the supplier parts, #3791 would be handy. I'm also waiting for it until I add all of my components 😃 - I use reichelt as a supplier for most of my components, but unfortunately they don't have a real official api.

By the way, I saw you sometimes reply using a new comment. Gh discussions can have comments and each comment can have sub comments. If you specifically reply to a comment, it's easier to see what belongs together.

Digikey can be... interesting sometimes when needing tech support. Their purchasing dep. is top-notch though.

Looks very nice Michael!

I did some additions to the plugin. The error handling of Mouser requests is improved. You can see now if there are problems with a spesicif part in our PO e.g. SKU not available.
There is also Digikey integration now including their token based authorization system. This is still experimental and has not been fully tested. As Digikey does not have a shopping cart API I use the MyLists API which is more complex . There ares still issues with that.

[SergeoLacruz]

I finished the Digikey integration and added the doku for it. Setting it up is a bit more complicated. It works at least in my environment. If anybody likes to try it, you are welcome.
