sale.report_invoice_layouted is already inheriting account.report_invoice_document

I want to add columns and such to sale.report_invoice_layouted.  However, I keep getting an:

Element cannot be located in parent view

...error. On any XPATH I name.  

From what I understand from searching the forums, you can't inherit an inherited view?  So that begs the question, how can I make changes to this particular view?  Can I prevent it from being called in the first place?   Is there a way to replace it?

EDIT: 

From the docs:

  • when a view is requested by id, if its mode is not primary its closest parent with mode primary is matched

So it's basically account.report_invoice_document instead of sale.report_invoice_layouted and that's why the error.

But again, how can I add to/edit sale.report_invoice_layouted?

There is no problem with inheriting an inherited view. Did you check your xpath expression with a xpath tester?

Yes. I tried ANY xpath expression and tested them. All couldn't be located in parent view.

Post a screenshot of your view so we can review the field values and XML content?

SOLVED: I was using an xpath from the file itself, not from within the <xpath> elements of view.  

So in report_invoice_layouted.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data inherit_id="account.report_invoice_document">
    <xpath expr="//table/tbody/tr/td[@id='subtotal']" position="attributes">
        <attribute name="groups">!sale.group_show_price_total</attribute>
    </xpath>
    <xpath expr="//table/tbody/tr/td[@id='subtotal']" position="after">
        <td class="text-right" groups="sale.group_show_price_total">
            <span t-field="l.price_total" t-options="{&quot;widget&quot;: &quot;monetary&quot;, &quot;display_currency&quot;: o.currency_id}"/>
        </td>
    </xpath>
    <xpath expr="//table" position="attributes">
        <attribute name="groups">!sale.group_sale_layout</attribute>
    </xpath>
    <xpath expr="//table" position="after">
        <t groups="sale.group_sale_layout" t-foreach="o.order_lines_layouted()" t-as="page" name="lines_layouted">
            <table class="table table-condensed">

                                    <span t-field="l.price_subtotal" t-options="{&quot;widget&quot;: &quot;monetary&quot;, &quot;display_currency&quot;: o.currency_id}"/>

                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </t>
                        <t t-if="(layout_category_size &gt; 1 or page_size &gt; 1) and layout_category['subtotal']" groups="sale.group_sale_layout">
                            <tr class="text-right">
                                <td colspan="6">
                                    <strong>Subtotal: </strong>
                                    <t t-set="subtotal" t-value="sum(line.price_subtotal for line in layout_category['lines'])"/>
                                    <span t-esc="subtotal" t-options="{'widget': 'monetary', 'display_currency': o.currency_id}"/>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </t>
                    </t>
                </tbody>
            </table>
            <t t-if="page_index &lt; page_size - 1" groups="sale.group_sale_layout">
                <p style="page-break-before:always;"> </p>
            </t>
        </t>
    </xpath>
</data>
    

This:

/data[@inherit_id="account.report_invoice_document"]/xpath[4]/t[@groups="sale.group_sale_layout"]

...was throwing the error.

This 

//t[@name="lines_layouted"]

... did not.  

I didn't realize I had to start WITHIN one of the <xpath> elements.
