You can inherit the customer menu in your module and change it parent to your new submenue,

such as:

<menuitem name="Menu name"

            id="module.menu_id"

            parent="your_sub_menu" />

 

Example :

<menuitem name="Customers"

            id="base.menu_base_partner"

            parent="MySubMenu"

        />

You can change any xml view by naming id to model_name.id:

here you need to change it as:

<menuitem id="sales_team.menu_partner_form" parent="your_parent_menu_id" action="base.action_partner_form" sequence="3"/>

You can also achieve the same if you create a new menu item and give the action base.action_partner_form and hide the current customers if needed.

You may do on interface or code level:

If code, you should fully redefine the meny unit xml in your app. E.g. for a pipeline in crm,   

<menuitem   id="crm.menu_crm_opportunities" action="crm.action_your_pipeline" parent="NEW_PAPRENT" sequence="4"/>

If on interface: go to Settings > Technical > User Interface > Menu Items > Find required and change the field 'Parent Menu' to yours. Be cautious: if you update the original app (e.g. Crm for a pipeline), parent would be changed back. Thus, it is better to use script modifications.

Actuallly the best way to do this is by replacing the parent of the original view by your new id.

Example: Open a folder --> create a file.xml, __manifest__.py, __ini__.py

In your file.xml add the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<odoo>

    <data>

        <!--<record id ="property_sales_menu" model ="ir.ui.view">  -->

            <menuitem id="property_sales_menu_root"                 action="sales_team.crm_team_salesteams_act" sequence="5" name="Property Sales"/>

              <menuitem id="property_sales_menu_sub" parent ="property_sales_menu_root" sequence="1" name="Property Sales"/>
