I am trying to add an extra field to Odoo invoicing app after installing my custom app.
I didn't get any error while loading the server, and I can see from the developer mode's Edit View Form that my view is inherited. However, I cannot see the new field showing up in the invoice form.
models.py:
class einvoice_tw(models.Model):
_inherit = 'account.invoice'
_name = 'einvoice_tw.einvoice_tw'
_description = 'Taiwan E-Invoice'
e_invoice_number = fields.Char(string='E-Invoice No.', required=True)
is_used = fields.Boolean(string='Used', deafult=False, required=True, readonly=True)
the view's xml (I tried both field and xpath to find the element, but no difference, no error, no field shown):
<record id="view_einvoice_tw_inherited" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">E-Invoice Inherited</field>
<field name="model">einvoice_tw.einvoice_tw</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="account.invoice_form"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//field[@name='date_invoice']" position="before">
<!--<field name="date_invoice" position="before">-->
<field string="E-Invoice" name="e_invoice_number"/>
</xpath>
<!--</field>-->
</field>
</record>

Hi,
From the python file, remove the new name given for the model, just _inherit = 'account.invoice' is necessary and from the xml file change the model name to account.invoice .
See the example shown here: How To Inherit And Add Field to Existing Views In Odoo
Thanks
Hi Niyas, thank you for your help. But I would like two add the extra field from the model of my custom module. If I remove the name variable of my custom model, how can I reference it to my module’s form view? If I create a new class like the tutorial, how is the new field linked to the same field of my main model?
