Hi,
Using the self.env.ref you can get the database id of the record.

For example, if the module name is sales_extended and record id is hd_general, then the external id of the record will be sales_extended.hd_general

Now you have to pass this external id to the self.env.ref : self.env.ref('sales_extended.hd_general') which will give the record set of the record, then using .id you can get the database id of the record

self.env.ref('sales_extended.hd_general', raise_if_not_found=False)

Along with it you can pass raise_if_not_found=False not to race the error, when the record is deleted from the db


Thanks

Hi,

You can get the database ID by using the record ID as follows:-

id = self.env.ref('module_name.hd_general').id

instead of module_name add your module_name in which the data file is added


Hope it helps
