Hi to all. 


I'm making some fields hidden or not available to users than can access the settings menu. I can make it work inheriting the module's res.config.settings view and setting the fields or sections I do not want to show to that users invisible, or assigning it to another specific group; it's working ok for the res.config.settings, base_setup and invoicing modules. 


However, when I try to do the same with POS, any field, block, setting, or any other part of the view raises an error stating i.e. "Field "pos_auto_validate_terminal_payment" does not exist in model "res.config.settings""

Below the inherited view code in full: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
    <data>
        <record id="pos_res_config_settings_view_form_inherited" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">my_module.pos_res_config_settings_view_form</field>
            <field name="model">res.config.settings</field>
            <field name="inherit_id" ref="point_of_sale.res_config_settings_view_form"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <xpath expr="//field[@name='pos_auto_validate_terminal_payment']" position="attributes">
                    <attribute name="invisible">1</attribute>
                </xpath>
            </field>
        </record>
    </data>
</odoo>

Below an extract of the log of the module update intent:

I tried with many other fields, and happens the same. When I try with some block, or settings sections, raises the same error, reflecting it on the first field of the block or sections. 

Any help or advice on how to approach the error is appreciated.

Hi,

Declare a dependency on point_of_sale in your manifest

You must explicitly declare a dependency on point_of_sale in your module's __manifest__.py. This ensures your module loads after point_of_sale, which will ensure the fields from PoS are already injected into res.config.settings.

Update your __manifest__.py:

{

    'name': 'My Module',

    'version': '1.0',

    'depends': [

        'base',

        'point_of_sale',  # Add this line!

    ],

    'data': [

        'views/point_of_sale.res_config_settings_view_form.xml',

    ],

}

Without this dependency, your module might load before point_of_sale, and the fields added by PoS into res.config.settings will not exist yet, leading to the error.


i hope it is helpfull

Hi,


Try the following.


- Add 'point_of_sale' in the module dependencies (__manifest__.py file).

      'depends': ['base', 'point_of_sale']


- Instead of modifying individual fields, you can hide the entire POS settings block with a condition like:

      <xpath expr="//div[hasclass('pos_settings_block')]" position="attributes">

  <attribute name="groups">your_security_group</attribute>

</xpath>


Hope it helps
