Buttons can have 3 different types specified by the attribute type :

workflow : The current workflow is triggered with the signal which is specified by the name attribute. This is the default behaviour.
object : The name attribute specifies the method of the object which will be executed.
action : The name attribute specifies the ID of the action (act_window, server, ..) which will be executed.
Since the type is not defined in your example, the button is of type workflow and triggers the sale.o

Hi Andreas, Then means than it's not possible to do progress a workflow when the next step achieve by a button isn't workflow type? Typically with the differents states of the "stock.picking" model. When my picking is "available" and I want to set state at "done" the button is "VALIDATE" (methode : do_new_transfer). So with the API and the exec_workflow isn't possible to achieve that?
