I was trying to create a new report for a module, but when I try to update the module odoo returns the next error:

    raise ValueError('External ID not found in the system: %s' % xmlid)
odoo.tools.convert.ParseError: "External ID not found in the system: modulo_nota_remision.paperformat_nota_remision" while parsing /home/***/odoo/addons/name_of_module/views/report_nota_remision.xml:17, near
<record id="syo_inventario_nota_remision" model="ir.actions.report">
            <field name="name">Nota Remision</field>
            <field name="model">syo_inventario.logistica</field>
            <field name="report_type">qweb-pdf</field>
            <field name="report_name">name_of_module.report_nota_remision</field>
            <field name="menu">True</field>
            <field name="paperformat_id" ref="name_of_module.paperformat_nota_remision"/>
        </record>

I've checked:

- The name of the paperformat "paperformat_nota_remision" is the same to which references in the xml, "name_of_module.paperformat_nota_remision"

- The xml of the paperformat is included in the manifest:

    'data': [
        'views/report_nota_remision.xml',
        'views/paperformat_nota_remision.xml',
    ],

-The report_name in the xml is references correctly to the python model, "name_of_module.report_nota_remision" and in the python _name is "report.name_of_module.report_nota_remision"

@Ibrahim Boudmir Thank you very much, that was the specific problem I was facing, 'views/report_nota_remision.xml' needed of 'view/paperformat_nota_remision.xml' so when it was trying to use it that view wasn't loaded yet!

Can you make your comment an answer to mark your comment as my question's solution?

if syo_inventario_nota_remision is declared in report_nota_remission, then you need data as follow:

'data': [

'views/paperformat_nota_remision.xml',

'views/report_nota_remision.xml',

],

As @Ibrahim Boudmir said the problem was the order of the views in 'data' of the manifest, it should be:

'data': [

'views/paperformat_nota_remision.xml',

'views/report_nota_remision.xml',

],
