When I try to install the Sale Forecast module i get a Parse error:
ParseError: "External ID not found in the system: base.menu_sales" while parsing /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/odoo/addons/sale_forecast/sale_forecast_view.xml:176, near<menuitem action="sale_forecast_action" id="sale_forecast_action_menu" name="Sale Forecast" parent="base.menu_sales" sequence="8"/>

This error occurs when i wish to install Sale Forecast https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/9.0/sale_forecast/ In my admittedly small amount of understanding and trying to find an answer on google I think the problem occurs when trying to add the menu item to the sales menu.
I can add additional information if needed.
Basic details:
We are running our own Odoo 10.0+e-20161031 (Enterprise Editie).
On a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Why do you want to install a module of 9.0 version on your 10.0 installation?
1. In my haste to install this I totally missed the versions and was in mind that we had version 9.0 because that was the version we were testing on before we installed it.
This will probably be the reason.
I presume there wont be a simple workaround to this?
2. Honestly I have no idea about the meaning of AGPL licencing, i presumed that since it is downloadable from the odoo site it is compatible with odoo itself.
Am i mistaken in thinking this is the case?
For the license discussion see https://www.odoo.com/groups/community-59/community-14235381?date_end=&date_begin=&mode=thread
Concerning the versions: no, there is no simple workaround other than porting the module yourself or waiting until it is ported by the author.
Well thanks for the information. I guess I will have to wait for an updated App then.
