Why is my custom invoice report only being printed in the draft state and not in invoice state?

Hi everybody

I've set up a second report for invoices. I want an alternative report option in the print dropdown so I created a second report in the account module.

I've added a report in account_report.xml under /addons/account/ like this:

        <report 
            id="account_invoices"
            model="account.invoice"
            string="Invoices"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="account.report_invoice"
            file="account.report_invoice"
            attachment_use="True"
            attachment="(object.state in ('open','paid')) and ('INV'+(object.number or '').replace('/','')+'.pdf')"
        />

    <!--Custom report link->
        <report 
            id="account_aangetekend"
            model="account.invoice"
            string="Aangetekende zending"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="account.report_aangetekend"
            file="account.report_aangetekend"
        />

Then I added an XML file, named report_aangetekend.xml with 95% the same code as the 'normal' report (coming from report_invoice.xml). I've only changed the names and added one field.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
<data>
<template id="report_aangetekend_document">
    <t t-call="report.external_layout">
        <div class="page">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-xs-5 col-xs-offset-7">
                    <address t-field="o.partner_id"
                        t-field-options='{"widget": "contact", "fields": ["address", "name"], "no_marker": true}' />
                    <span t-field="o.partner_id.vat"/>
                </div>
            </div>
<p>TEST</p>
<!--Lots of other, irrelevant code here-->
</div>
</t>
</template>

<template id="report_aangetekend">
    <t t-call="report.html_container">
        <t t-foreach="doc_ids" t-as="doc_id">
            <t t-raw="translate_doc(doc_id, doc_model, 'partner_id.lang', 'account.report_aangetekend_document')"/>
        </t>
    </t>
</template>
</data>
</openerp>

The report works, is showing up and I can print it. There is however a strange effect.
If I now create a new invoice (in draft modus) and choose the two different print options I'll get two different report prints, so far so good, as you can see here.


If I now make a second invoice, validate this and then print out the two different reports I'll get the same report twice. Both coming from the file report_invoice.xml (addons/account/views/). As you can see here:


Is there a reason why my custom report is not being printed in validated state but it is in draft? Do I have to define something more elsewhere or what am I missing?

With kind regards
Yenthe

Probably your report is printed from an attachment in both cases. If standard invoice state is ('open','paid') the attachment is generated, in state 'draft' no attachment.

@zbik that is correct, at the moment I have both set to attachment_use="True" but even if I only set one or none I still don't get the wished result. Could you give me some more details about what is wrong/how to fix it?

Zbik

Do you have removed the old attachment? In my opinion, if attachment_use="False", should work.

@zbik even if I set both attachment_use="False" there is no difference. When the invoice is validated both versions will print the original sadly. Any more ideas / solutions?

Zbik

Erase attachment="(object.state in ('open','paid')) and ('INV'+(object.number or '').replace('/','')+'.pdf')". Your code xml (deleted all attachment lines) normally working on my tmp system. I think this is an Odoo error with attachment_use="False", if attachment='xxx' not empty.

I've found the solution and it was very simple. I just had to set both records to attachment_use="True" and had to give them both a different name.
I have no idea why the two different names fixed it though. Those two files are added as an attachment and that seems to do the trick.

Final code:

        <report 
            id="account_invoices"
            model="account.invoice"
            string="Invoices"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="account.report_invoice"
        attachment_use="True"
            attachment="(object.state in ('open','paid')) and ('INV'+(object.number or '').replace('/','')+'.pdf')"
            file="account.report_invoice"
        />

    <!--Custom-->
        <report 
            id="account_aangetekend"
            model="account.invoice"
            string="Aangetekende zending"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="account.report_aangetekend"
            attachment_use="True"
           <!--This one has to have a different name then the other one. The magic happens here.-->
            attachment="(object.state in ('open','paid')) and ('INV2'+(object.number or '').replace('/','')+'.pdf')"
            file="account.report_aangetekend"
        />

If you don't want any files attached under attachments there is a second solution:

        <report 
            id="account_invoices"
            model="account.invoice"
            string="Invoices"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="account.report_invoice"
        attachment_use="True"
            attachment="(object.state in ('open','paid')) and ('INV'+(object.number or '').replace('/','')+'.pdf')"
            file="account.report_invoice"
        />

    <!--Custom-->
        <report 
            id="account_aangetekend"
            model="account.invoice"
            string="Aangetekende zending"
            report_type="qweb-pdf"
            name="account.report_aangetekend"
           <!--No attachment -->
            attachment_use="False"
            file="account.report_aangetekend"
        />
