Hello everybody,

Restoring the onboarding panel

I am using the Invoicing application. Out of the box it has an onboarding panel, which users can close. I did close it after a while and realized that I'd like to have it back.

Would you be able to tell me how to reactivate it?

Customizing invoice layouts

When this onboarding panel is accessible, it has four entries, of which the third one is Invoice Layout. This entry has a button called Customize.

Clicking it opens the Configure your document layout overlay.

This overlay contains a list of 5 predefined layouts, with the last one (DIN 5008) being selected be default.

This layout looks pretty good, but, among other things, I would like to adjust the following elements:

• the logo picture (I'd like another one, that is better suited for printouts)
  
• the logo size and alignment
• the table header (Description, Quantity, Unit Price, Taxes, Amount); I need the German version
  
• remove the Taxes column (I do not pay VAT)
  
• remove the Please use the following communication for your payment line
  
• remove the Payment terms line
  

After the table I would like to add Payment already made in cash line.

By the way, I have several Odoo instances. All of them have the location set to Germany and some have the language set to German and others have the language set to English. The table headers shows in English in all of them.


I did notice in Settings > General Settings > Companies two links providing access to the source code of the DIN 5008 layout.

Opening the source code, though, shows the following message:

Be aware that editing the architecture of a standard view is not advised, since the changes will be overwritten during future module updates.

We recommend applying modifications to standard views through inherited views or customization with Odoo Studio. 

If I am not mistaken, the Odoo Studio is not part of the Community Edition.

I am assuming I should create a new layout based on this one, then select my new layout (much like OOP inheritance). Is this correct?

If yes, can this be done in the Community Edition, that is, without the Odoo Studio? If yes, how?

Thank you.
