Hello Aneesh,


Give menu action to the button.


Ex:-

<button name="%(sale.action_order)d" string="test" type="action" class="oe_highlight" />


When we click on this button, Sale order menu will open.


Or Try This :-

<button name="action_view_menu" string="test" type="object" class="oe_highlight" />


In Py :-

     @api.multi

     def action_view_menu(self):

         action = self.env.ref('sale.action_order)

         result = action.read()[0]

         return result


Hope this works for you.


Thanks,

When you click on the button, it refers to action of sale order and open the sale order.

We know that with a menu an action is associated and based on that 'action' system performs the task. So for your requirement we can call it other way round and on button click we can return the appropriate action.

For example, you can search in odoo code here:

addons -> event -> models -> event.py : method name : action_event_registration_report

Here it tries to search for an 'action' and return the 'action'.

OR

You can create the button of type 'action'


Hope this helps !!.
