Hi all, 

thanks for your answers. I know understand the logic where the field on the invoice came. I have select din_5008 template, so that the header field are loaded in view "l10n_din5008.external_layout_din5008". There are the following lines which determine fields for the header of the report like invoice or sales order report:

Now my question is, how I can extend the template_data collection for each report, if I want use the din_5008?

Best regards

Hi,

We can inherit the report_invoice_document and add the corresponding changes to the file.

<template id="report_invoice_customized" inherit_id="account.report_invoice_document">
      <xpath expr="//tr[hasclass('is-subtotal')]" position="after">
       <tr>
           <td>Discount</td>
           <td class="text-right">
               <span t-field="o.amount_discount"/>
           </td>
       </tr>
   </xpath>
</template>

for example, hereafter the subtotal row added a new row for Discount similarly, we can load the header, footer, etc.

Regards

Hi,

The best and recommend way to customize the report is by creating an inherited template, if you modify the template directly as you have mentioned in the question, the applied changes can be overwritten/lost on the future upgrade of the module.

So the best way to achieve the same is to apply the changes from an inherited template or via odoo studio.

In your case, the changes are not reflected after modifying the layout, you have to check and see few things:

1. Is this part of template modified from any other templates ?
2. Is reload from attachment is ticked in the report ? If yes, it will be printed from the attachment, instead of generating new one

To customize report from ui using the inheritance, see this:  Customize PDF Reports From User Interface In Odoo
