Hello,

(I use ODOO v10)

I am getting an error while trying to add custom fields into hr.employee model. Below is the code -

My XML file -

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

<odoo>

<data>

<field name="name">employee.extn</field>

<field name="model">hr.employee</field>

</xpath>

</xpath>

</xpath>

</field>

</record>

</data>

</odoo>

My .py file -

from odoo import models, fields, api, _

class EmpExtension{models.Model):

_name = "hr.employee"

_inherit = "hr.employee"

address_perm_id = fields.Many2one("res.partner", string="Permanent Address", store=True, help="Select or Enter the Permanent Address of employee")

contract_type = fields.Selection([("Regular", "Daily Wager")], string="Contract Type", store=True, help="Is this employee a Regular employee or contracted Daily Wager?")

wedding_date = fields.Date(string="Wedding Date", store=True, help="Enter wedding date of employee")

joining_date = fields.Date(string="Date of Joining", store=True, help="Enter date on which employee joined this organization.")

joining_desig = fields.Char(string="Joining Designation", store=True, help="Enter Joining Designation of this employee.")

joining_salary = fields.Float(string="Joining Salary", required=True, store=True, help="Enter the consolidated salary paid / offered to employee at the time of joining the organization.")

current_salary = fields.Float(string="Current Salary", required=True, store=True, help="Enter the current consolidated salary paid to employee.")

attendance_type = fields.Char(string="Attendance Type", required=True, store=True, help="Choose how the attendance of this employee will be recorded. It could be Biometric, Card Swipe or Manual.")

I get error as below -

Make sure you restarted the server first before upgrading the module.

Also make sure that py file is added in __init__.py file.

Hi Sudhir, replying to your revert as "answer" for I have insufficient Karma to comment.

Thanks for writing in and or your suggestion. Yes, I tried with the options you suggested. But, no gain.

My __init__.py is as -

import emp_extension

Name of the .py file is emp_extension.py

I later realized that while installing this module does not create the fields that it intends to. So, the error I guess. Can anyone suggest about that? I am unable to figure out.

Make sure you have imported 'models' folder in __init__.py if you are using models folder.
