For example, to replace the native invoice report by a custom py3o report, add the following XML file in your custom module:
` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <odoo> <record id="account.account_invoices" model="ir.actions.report"> <field name="report_type">py3o</field> <field name="py3o_filetype">odt</field> <field name="module">my_custom_module_base</field> <field name="py3o_template_fallback">report/account_invoice.odt</field> </record> </odoo>`
where my_custom_module_base is the name of the custom Odoo module. In this example, the invoice ODT file is located in my_custom_module_base/report/account_invoice.odt.
It's also possible to reference a template located in a trusted path of your Odoo server. In this case you must let the module entry empty and specify the path to the template as py3o_template_fallback.
` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <odoo> <record id="account.account_invoices" model="ir.actions.report"> <field name="report_type">py3o</field> <field name="py3o_filetype">odt</field> <field name="py3o_template_fallback">/odoo/templates/py3o/report/account_invoice.odt</field> </record> </odoo>`
Moreover, you must also modify the Odoo server configuration file to declare the allowed root directory for your py3o templates. Only templates located into this directory can be loaded by py3o report.
` [options] ... [report_py3o] root_tmpl_path=/odoo/templates/py3o`
If you want an invoice in PDF format instead of ODT format, the XML file should look like:
` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <odoo> <record id="account.account_invoices" model="ir.actions.report"> <field name="report_type">py3o</field> <field name="py3o_filetype">pdf</field> <field name="module">my_custom_module_base</field> <field name="py3o_template_fallback">report/account_invoice.odt</field> </record> </odoo>`
If you want to add a new py3o PDF report (and not replace a native report), the XML file should look like this:
` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <odoo> <record id="partner_summary_report" model="ir.actions.report"> <field name="name">Partner Summary</field> <field name="model">res.partner</field> <field name="report_name">res.partner.summary</field> <field name="report_type">py3o</field> <field name="py3o_filetype">pdf</field> <field name="module">my_custom_module_base</field> <field name="py3o_template_fallback">report/partner_summary.odt</field> <!-- Add entry in "Print" drop-down list --> <field name="binding_type">report</field> <field name="binding_model_id" ref="base.model_res_partner"/> </record> </odoo>`
