Hi all!

I'm new in Odoo and as far as I've been studying, I'm able to extend existing models via the GUI in developer mode (by creating fields and extending views) or via the development of a new model that inherits a existing one.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method and which one would you recommend for adding many fields and creating a new PDF report.

Thank you!

Diego

Hi,

Rather than creating or editing from the user interface it is better to create a new custom module which adds this functionality. Once you applied lot of changes inside a database from the user interface, and later if you need the same in another database or if you need to move it to the other database, it will be not too easy. 


Actually customizing from ui or from the custom module depends on the persons knowledge level, if you are skilled in coding, do it as a module.


Hope this videos will be helpful for you.
