Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to Modify Odoo 18 Community Document Layout of Invoices as appeared on the image below to look like that of standard POS paper size: 50mm/80mm.
How can I go about that?
Thanks in anticipation!

Hello,
If you want to customize the layout then Settings -> General Settings-> Companies -> Edit Layout.
Or if you want to add fields inside this layout then go with this- "view_base_document_layout"

@Codesphere Tech
Do you have Idea about the exact code? I know where to drop that.
Thanks!

Codesphere Tech

It depends what you want to customize.. tell me what you want to change?

Chijioke Kanu

I just want it to appear in one tiny column so as to use a POS printer for printing the pages.
Thanks!

Codesphere Tech

You can create a paper format for your custom size and then select here in Paper Format.

Thanks for your reply, article on the link seems to be for paper size but not actually recoding them to be in a single column using the Qweb format.

I think the code above is generating the invoice, how to exactly customize the above to render a single column to fit my tiny paper size is the problem.

Codesphere Tech

Can you provide an example that what you want to update in this layout?

Chijioke Kanu
Author

Thanks for your assistance.
The image below demonstrate exactly what I want to achieve.
http://account.servercrib.com/preview_external_report.png

Codesphere Tech

First you need to create custom paper format with 50 * 80 size.. then you need to set this paper format in document layout and also you need customize report layout based on your needs.. If you want then I will share the screenshot here for paper format.

Chijioke Kanu

I have set the paper size as I said before, what I need is to customize the report layout based on the last image I shared. Thanks!

Codesphere Tech

Yes, But I can't provide the code for your custom report, It is solved by the set paper format with size and rest of things you have to manage by yourself.

Piers Dickens

Thanks for all the guidance so far! I understand that setting the custom paper format is necessary, but my main challenge is adjusting the QWeb report layout itself to render everything in a single narrow column for the POS printer.

If anyone has experience restructuring the <div> and <t> elements in web.external_layout_standard for a very narrow width like 50mm, some tips or examples would be really helpful. Even suggestions on which elements to remove or stack differently would save a lot of trial and error.

Appreciate any insights!
