POS/Inventory for a Variety Store - odoo

I'm trying to implement ODOO for a variety store (like 99 Cents, Dollar, etc).
Now, I found out many items do not have UPC.
What's the best way to give input for the items?
What would it work to sell these items on the pos (not upc, not barcode)?
We're talking about thousand of differents items?
Have somebody a document or videos support me? Tutorial or guide

If you want you can assign them local use barcodes. UPC has range for that.

What's the most efficient method to overlay data on top of a PDF?

I need to created hundreds of PDFs each day. Each PDF will be the same blank purchase order, on top of which will be pasted various data points such as offer prices, dates, buyer names, seller names, etc. This will have the effect of creating hundreds of purchase orders each day, automatically.
I am thinking the best way to do this would be to take the data and paste it on top of the PDF using x/y coordinates.
I am looking for this community's thoughts on which technology would be best to use to put the data on top of / in the PDF. What are your thoughts? What questions can I answer for you that might give you further clarification?
I'm new to this forum, so apologies in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong place. If you have suggestions about where I should post this or what tags I should add, I would appreciate that as well!

Can I assign products to collections using csv in shopify?

I created a new store in shopify. I was able to import the products and add the collections by hand. Is is possible to assign products to collections using csv? I have around 3500 products. Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't think you can. Due to the way collections can be built (manually or based on criteria), they skip that altogether.
It is possible to create collections with the Shopify API, but again, due to the nature of how they work under the hood, it is not easy to allocate a large number of products to a collection without some real fine-grained control, making an App or script tough to write.
You best bet might be to write some scripts to at least populate your most basic collections with products, and then create the missing ones with your Shop admin.

Sitefinity 8.2: Related Data for product variants

I've tried asking this on the main Sitefinity forums but had no luck as such.
I have a given scenario and I am wondering how this could be structured in the Sitefinity eCommerce module.
I essentially have two product types, a full product and spare part. As expected spare parts relate to full products and some spare parts can relate to different full products.
I have modeled this structure in Sitefinity fine using a Related Data property on the full product with the ability to select multiple spare parts per product.
My issue arises when I create variants of the full product and the main variant attribute is essentially the design print on the full product. I need to be able to associate a spare part to a specific variant, an example being a replacement cover that has the specific design print on so can only ever be associated with a variant of a full product. So in effect I just need a Related Data property against the variant rather than the product itself if that makes sense.
Is this possible out of the box in Sitefinity? If not, can I structure my product / spare parts in manner that I can query spare parts on a variant basis? Or do I need to model this outside of Sitefinity?
Thanks.
PS I am fairly new to Sitefinity development so if there is anything I could have missed please let me know.

Big Commerce, Top\Featured\New Products on category page

Hi there working with bigcommerce Im looking to get the following style of break down on each category page
Essentially making a category version of;
%%Panel.HomeFeaturedProducts%%
%%Panel.SideTopSellers%%
%%Panel.HomeNewProducts%%
Ive gone ahead and attempted this however they seem to be pulling in from global values, and there dose not seem to me much option to break these down or limit the category, has anyone done this previously and if so how?
developerscott is correct in those panels not offering contextually unique data. I'd recommend looking into Unbxd. It has a 30 day trial so you can either investigate their programmatic solution or use it in place of making your own.

How to compare price datafeeds from different API?

I am working on integrating affiliate sales into few existing sites. We are using a few merchants who work via different networks (cj, shareasale, linkshare, Amazon).
Now my observation is that all these networks provide data feeds in different formats. But that's not a big problem. My main concern is actually merchants using different titles on same products. I don't want to run into these situations:
1) two listings of the SAME product from N merchants (if titles are just a bit different)
2) one listing of N different products from merchants (if we don't use strict comparison algorithm)
We want to automate everything as much as possible, want to avoid operators scanning listings under question all the time.
How is this problem typically handled?
I believe a common solution here is to use some universal identifier (UPC code, ISBN code for books, etc). If you can't do that, it becomes a difficult problem, and you probably won't get it 100% right. This may be a silly (and expensive) idea, but perhaps consider using Amazon Mechanical Turk API to have people do it for you (at least the difficult cases which your algorithm can't get right).
All affiliate network feeds have one thing in common: they all list products by a SKU / MPN number that is unique for that product, regardless of affiliate network or distribution channel. That's your unique identifier to key off of when matching different product catalogs across networks.
