Hello guys i know how to create a new menu item at the top level through the backend , however what i also want to do is put or inherit  a already made menu items such as customers and qoutations under that menu through the backend .

For Example :

-> my newly created item

   -> Customers (sales or Accounting)

   -> Qoutations

   -> Contracts

   -> Customer Invoice

Is this possible guys ?

I don't know how to do that :) But I wouldn't spend any time trying to find out how to do that. As far as I know, the menus are saved in the database, so updating to a new version of the source won't affect them. (within the same stable release at least)

Mathias Colpaert

You can of course copy the menus from the other modules, and leave the existing ones be? You could do this in the backend.

Ahh yes thats exactly want i want to do , not alter the currents one but just make an alternative route , so through backend could i just copy the code , and make the parent the custom menu i make ?

Mathias Colpaert

Yes, but don't forget to give a new ID when you copy!

  • Go to settings -> User interface -> Menu items
  • search for the menu you want, (eg Quotations). Click Edit
  • Change the parent menu to your menu
  • Save!

ORIGINAL MENU @ sale_view.xml
<menuitem action="action_orders" id="menu_sale_order" parent="base.menu_sales" sequence="5" groups="base.group_sale_salesman,base.group_sale_manager"/>

 

YOUR CUSTOM VIEW using XML
Create your main menu with id="new_parent_menu_id"
<menuitem id="sale.menu_sale_order" parent="new_parent_menu_id" />
(OR)
<record id="sale.menu_sale_order" model="ir.ui.menu">
    <field name="parent_id">new_parent_menu_id</field>
</record>
