The Problem

In Odoo, all bound reports appear in the print menu regardless of whether they make sense for the current record. A "Draft Invoice" report shows up on paid invoices. A "Product Label" report appears on services. Users get confused, mistakes happen.

There is no built-in way in Odoo 17 to restrict report visibility based on record state, type, or any other field. Until now.

The Solution

This module adds a Filter Domain field to every report action. When set, the report only appears in the print menu if the current record matches the domain. If no domain is set, the report behaves exactly as before — zero disruption.

How It Works

When a user opens the print menu on a record, the module calls the server to check which reports pass their configured domain against the current record(s). Only matching reports are rendered in the menu — the rest are silently hidden.

• Go to Technical → Actions → Reports
  Open any report you want to filter.
• Set the Filter Domain
  Use the visual domain builder to define when this report should be visible. Example: only show on confirmed sales orders.
• Save and test
  Open a record that matches — the report appears. Open one that doesn't — it's gone. Clean and automatic.

Domain Examples

Only show report on confirmed sales orders:

[('state', '=', 'sale')]

Only for products of type "product" (storable/consumable, not service):

[('detailed_type', 'in', ['product', 'consu'])]

Only for invoices that are paid:

[('payment_state', '=', 'paid')]

Reference the current user:

[('user_id', '=', user.id)]

Compatibility

Designed and tested for Odoo 17 Community Edition. Does not modify any core views or models beyond adding a single optional field to ir.actions.report.
