This is usually how i declare a view in openerp 6.1 and so far has worked correctly...
But i started a project with openerp 7.0 and this view appears as undefined in the debug mode and can't seem to see why.
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="stock_location_department_view">
    <field name="name">stock.location.form</field>
    <field name="model">stock.location</field>
    <field name="inherit" ref="stock.view_location_form" />
    <field name="type">form</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <field name="company_id" position="after">
            <field name="department_id"/>
        </field>
    </field>
</record>
 
                        
what is the error you are getting ? can you please log it here
That's the weird thing, it doesn't give me an error, it just doesn't show the field department_id. The view appears in the debug, but where it should say Form or Tree, it justs says undefined.
Actually, now that i look better at the code... shouldn't it be <field name="inherit_id" ???? I think that may be it.
