Can you please show the parser section of your report?

Is this the section you mean?# -- coding: utf-8 -- import time from openerp.report import report_sxw

class warranty(report_sxw.rml_parse): def __init__(self, cr, uid, name, context): super(warranty, self).__init__(cr, uid, name, context=context) self.localcontext.update({ 'time': time, }) report_sxw.report_sxw( 'report.warranty', 'warranty', 'addons/print/report/collection_docket.rml', parser=warranty )

I am not sure about the whether the .py code is correct or not.Here warranty is the name of the module for which the report is to be made

I think you have given the name of the report as "report.warranty" in your py file of the report and in xml you have given it as "warranty.warranty.collection_docket". If you are giving the name as "warranty.warranty.collection_docket" in xml file, the name of the report in py file should be "report.warranty.warranty.collection_docket".

Is there any naming convention or specific name to be given here?

There is no naming convention. If you are giving the name of the report as say "example_report_name", the name of the report should be in "report.example_report_name". Prefix should be "report."

I tried as per your instructions but still the same error occurs. report.warranty.warranty.collection_docket

(<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>, KeyError(u'report.warranty.warranty.collection_docket',), <traceback object at 0xb3f46c0c>)

Have doubt regarding coding . report_sxw.report_sxw( 'report.warranty.warranty.collection_docket', 'warranty.warranty', 'addons/print/report/collection_docket.rml', parser=warranty ). Here what do report.warranty.warranty.collection_docket and warranty.warranty represent?

Can you please tell me where the location of the files for this report are like the location of py, xml and rml files.

Please read https://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/developer/05_reports/ . Its a document on how to create rml reports in openerp.

I have added a separate module 'print' in the addons directory and the reports.xml is in that module while collection_docket.rml and .py file are inside a folder named report in the module print.

Please check if you have added py file in __init__.py file.

Yes I have added .py file in __init__.py as import warranty_info

Can you share your module files like py file, xml file, __init__.py files and __openerp__.py file?

I have added a new module print.The folder print contains __init__.py __openerp__.py report folder & reports.xml.

I followed exactly the same steps as you mentioned and i was able to generate report. Please try updating your module.

I am still working on it any no improvement at all.Did you restarted the server or anything like that?I tried and tried and tried and still the same error (<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>, KeyError(u'report.collection_docket',), <traceback object at 0xb3b7439c>) is being displayed

yes. I restarted the server, updated the module in db..

ok.How to update the module in db

Go to settings > Modules > Installed Modules. Search for your module here. Open the record you get after searching for module. You can find your module details here. You can also find a button named "Update".

I tried that too.In openerp version that I am using,it is upgrade button.After making changes I saved tose files then updated the modules list,from the installed modules list the module has been searched out and then upgraded that module.Then refreshed and tried to print the report again but still the error remains.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88263455/print.zip. Try this module..

I tried the module and was installed successfully.But the I cant understand the changes that module made in the openerp.Where is the button placed?I didnt see any new button in any of the modules.

I find the button.It is not placed as a separate button but the module installed produced another heading in the print button in the Quotations.When the second string "Warranty Details" is clicked,the old error report.collection_docket
