Only Tax invoice with OpenERP

Today , concern about how to create any invoice with only tax amount.

In real business sometimes its needed to create invoice where there is no any products but only vat or any tax.

Ex. Suppose in shipping company which contain an invoice line relating to import VAT. That means that the VAT amount is not a fixed percentage of the invoice.

So, how we can enter supplier invoice ?

Here are some steps that may be useful to you.

1. Set up Tax through(Accounting > Configuration > Tax).
    And in it just set tax type to "Python code"
    And set as follow(in result just assign price_unit direct no need to multiply).

Python Code

# price_unit
# product: product.product object or None
# partner: res.partner object or None

result = price_unit

Python Code (reverse)

# price_unit
# product: product.product object or False

result = price_unit

And just tick "Tax included in price" (so it consider as the tax already included in price).

2. Now, its time to create a new product named like "VAT" service type.

    Under the Accounting tab in product add supplier Taxes to be the created tax.

3. Now, create a supplier invoice and in it select created product VAT, and you can edit unit price and set it as per requirement. 

  So, you can see the whole amount treat as tax and you can validate invoice.

Why we have to go through this process ?? Because in OpenERP will not allow you to create any invoice without invoice line.

Hope this will help to you.

Dynamically view in OpenERP

Creating Views Dynamically in OpenERP


Create dynamic view in OpenERP

Sometimes, its needed to add or remove or edit some properties of fields in dynamic mode. Normally, we can manage view from xml.

So, in OpenERP there is fields_view_get() method in which we can divert view or do some operation.

Another thing some times its needed to redirect depending on state or else.

Example : 

Case 1 : We have two form view parent and child, now from the tree view on the basis of state we have to call either parent or child.
       
          def fields_view_get(self, cr, uid, view_id=None, view_type=False, context=None, toolbar=False, submenu=False):      
              if view_type == 'form':
                  if state == 'A' :
                      view_id = self.pool.get('ir.ui.view').search(cr,uid,[('name', '=', 'parent.form')])
                  elif state == 'B':
                      view_id = self.pool.get('ir.ui.view').search(cr,uid,[('name', '=', 'child.form')])
              res = super(my_module,self).fields_view_get(cr, uid, view_id=view_id, view_type=view_type, context=context, toolbar=toolbar, submenu=submenu)


Case 2 : We have to change some fields using fields_view_get()

     def fields_view_get(self, cr, uid, view_id=None, view_type='form', context=None, toolbar=False, submenu=False):
        if context is None:
            context = {}
        res = super(account_invoice_line,self).fields_view_get(cr, uid, view_id=view_id, view_type=view_type, context=context, toolbar=toolbar, submenu=submenu)
        if context.get('type', False):
            doc = etree.XML(res['arch'])
            for node in doc.xpath("//field[@name='product_id']"):
                if context['type'] in ('in_invoice', 'in_refund'):
                    node.set('domain', "[('purchase_ok', '=', True)]")
                else:
                    node.set('domain', "[('sale_ok', '=', True)]")
            res['arch'] = etree.tostring(doc)
        return res

Work with analytic Distribution in OpenERP

Analytic Distribution

Analytic Distribution is mainly used for spreading/dividing your expense/income in various analytic account (i.e. cost account) in OpenERP.

Work with analytic Distribution in OpenERP

There are various application of analytic distribution in real business case.

Let's take one business case in which a company wants to distribute it's income between various departments:

A IT company provide consultancy services for the software solution.

The company is interested to divide it's income real-time between it's main three departments 

1. Analysis and Design 2. Coding and testing 3. Deployment.

It also wants that when customer invoice is created for particular client PROJECT, the invoice amount will be divide in these three departments as below:

1. Analysis and Design: 50%
2. Coding and testing : 30%
3. Deployment : 20%

You can easily configure this requirement in OpenERP using Analytic Distribution.

Just create three analytic account (Analysis and Design a/c, Coding and testing a/c, Deployment a/c). Make sure that the parent account of these accounts is the client project's analytic account.

Now configure Analytic Distribution by adding these three analytic accounts with their respective part in percentage.
Add this analytic distribution at the time of encoding customer invoice line.

Now validate that invoice and check the "Analytic Chart of Account" in order to check the effect of Analytic Distribution.

Unable to create lead from email

Hello All,

I think you all are facing problem of lead/helpdesk. As its not created automatically mail.

You have configured your mail server correctly action to create lead correctly set but still all
mail are not fectched or all mails are not create lead/helpdesk right ?

Some mails create messages instead of new lead ?

So, there may be chances you have configured mail server thats silently broken.

So, avoid this kind of stuff you can just check your mail server and check your aliases both are same , means here i give you example.

in your mail server : nayi.pinakin@gmail.com for fetching incoming mail.

now in your users if there is similar 'nayi.pinakin' than its create problem.

So, check your aliases and be sure there is fetch mail server and user are not same.
