I am trying to use an automated action and a python expression to print a report which features a package's barcode when that package is initially created. I have my report setup with the barcode and other information I need. I have tried several ways to get this to work including:

  • Using report_action() to print the report
  • Using action = { ... } to print the report

I have not been able to find information on printing with an automated action and odoo studio and would appreciate any assistance, thanks.

If you need automated printing then you most likely need third party addon. Someting like thet: https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/15.0/printnode_base/

If you want to just open the pdf then you can create report action and then print it from the browser.

  • How would you go about creating a report action. I have tried doing something like env.ref('stock.action_report_quant_package_barcode_small').report_action(record) and it doesn't give me any error but it also doesn't download the report. I have also tried action = { 'type': 'ir.actions.report', 'name': 'Package Barcode with Content copy(1)', 'model': 'stock.quant.package', 'report_type': 'qweb-pdf', 'report_name': 'stock.action_report_quant_package_barcode_small', } but I run into the same issues where no errors are thrown, but nothing happens – Brendan Cariota Aug 16 '22 at 22:03
