Hey,

i follow a odoo Moduldevelopment Tutorial, but on installation i go this error:

ParseError: "External ID not found in the system: daily_transaction.action_daily_transaction" while parsing /opt/odoo/custom/addons/daily_transaction/daily_transaction_view.xml:9, near <menuitem action="action_daily_transaction" id="menu_action_daily_transaction" parent="menu_daily_transaction_root" sequence="20"/>

why is that so?

Here is my daily_transaction_view.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
<data>

<menuitem name="Daily Transaction" id="base.daily_transaction_root" sequence="60"/>

<menuitem id="menu_daily_transaction_root" name="Daily Transaction" parent="base.daily_transaction_root" sequence="1" />

<menuitem action="action_daily_transaction" id="menu_action_daily_transaction" parent="menu_daily_transaction_root" sequence="20"/>

<record id="view_daily_transaction_tree" model="ir.ui.view"> 
   <field name="name">daily.transaction.tree</field>
   <field name="model">daily.transaction</field>
   <field name="arch" type="xml">
       
       <tree string="Daily Transaction">
           
           <field name="name"/>
           <field name="date"/>
           <field name="type"/>
           <field name="amount"/>
       </tree>
   </field>
</record>

<record id="view_daily_transaction_form" model="ir.ui.view">
   <field name="name">daily.transaction.form.view</field>
   <field name="model">daily.transaction</field>
   <field name="arch" type="xml">
       
       <form string="Daily Transaction" version="7.0">
           <group>
               <field name="name"/>
               <field name="date" />
               <field name="type" />
               <field name="amount" />
               <field name="note" />
           </group>
       </form>
   </field>
</record>

<record id="action_daily_transaction" model="ir.actions.act_window">
   <field name="name">Daily Transaction</field> 
   <field name="res_model">daily.transaction</field> 
   <field name="view_type">form</field>
   <field name="view_mode">tree.form</field> 
   <field name="search_view_id" eval="False"/> 
   <field name="context">{}</field>
   <field name="help">Create New daily transaction.</field> 
</record>
</data>
</openerp>

Dear

Please try move

<record id="action_daily_transaction" model="ir.actions.act_window"> ...
Go up
<menuitem action="action_daily_transaction" id="menu_action_daily_transaction" parent="menu_daily_transaction_root" sequence="20"/> ...
Because the content in *.xml run sequentially,
I think it will work.

Hi,

just change the order of the definitions.
Put the menuitems at the bottom of the file (before </data></openerp> though) and that will do it.

OpenERP or Odoo for that matter, parse the xml files in a bottom-down fashion and at the moment that you are declaring the menuitem with id=menu_action_daily_transaction the action does not exists, it is defined later on the same file.

Hope I made myself clear!

I had a similar issue when adding buttons to a header on a form view. Try declaring the report like this: class="btn-info" name="%(report_id)d" type="action" string="Download Report". If the report is in another module you need to declare the model also like this: name="%(module_name.report_id)d"

I was also getting this error.
I was creating another menu in my module, so I copy-paste the entire code.
But I forget to update the record id. After changing it, my code was executed.

The same error could appear if you call a undefined view in a view_id field.

Yes the order does matter, I had a similar issue I had to move definitions before/above before referring to them.

face same error in while creating a group for security i give id to my main menu like groups="module_name.group_id"

but it still show the external id not found
