Read more...Overview
This module extends the functionality of Odoo's ResCompany and BaseDocumentLayout models to enable greater control over company representative roles, font sizes, and country indicators in DIN 5008 document layouts. Once installed, the customizing parameters will be available in the base document layout wizard.
A new view for the base.document.layout model is introduced to customize the layout and appearance of documents (such as reports or invoices). This customization is tied to the DIN 5008 layout standard (a formal German standard for business letter formatting).
The BaseDocumentLayout model inherits from the standard base.document.layout, adding additional fields that can be configured for document styling, that are conditionally visible when the DIN 5008 layout is selected.
The layout includes a preview of the representatives and their roles within the company. This preview shows a list of representatives (partners) associated with their respective roles e.g., managing director, partner).
The module also modifies the form views to allow easy configuration of these settings. For instance, it introduces a "Representatives and Roles" page in the company form to manage the representatives and their roles.
Functionality
Customizable Font Sizes:
Two fields for font sizes are added to the res.company model to control the font size for the sender's address and footer in DIN5008 documents. This ensures separate handling in multi company environment.
Font size options are predefined as a selection of common pixel sizes (e.g., 8px, 9px, 10px, etc.), and users can choose the appropriate size for both the sender address and footer sections in order to optimize the display.
Country Indicator Settings:
The country indicator field allows the company to choose how the country information should be displayed on documents: as the country code, country name, or no indication at all.
Company Representative Roles:
The module introduces a representative_role_ids field to the res.company model, allowing the specification of various representative roles (such as owner, managing director, etc.) for a company.
The ResCompanyRepresentative model defines these roles, linking them to partners (employees or individuals) and storing their role within the company.
To create "Representative Roles" in Odoo, follow these steps:
- Enable debug mode
- In Debug Mode, go to the Settings menu
- Under Technical, find the section for Company Configuration
- Inside the Company Configuration section, select Representative Roles
- To create a new role, click on the Create button, enter the desired information and save the record. You can also edit or delete existing roles directly from the list by selecting them and making the necessary changes
Predefined report footer:
Visibility of legal information:
This module adds additional fields, to control the visibility of company legal information in reports.
- Show Representatives: Determines whether the company's representatives should be displayed.
- Show VAT-ID: Determines whether the company's VAT ID should be displayed.
- Show Company Registry: Determines whether the company's registry number should be displayed.
- Show tax number: Determines whether the company's tax number should be displayed. This field is only available if l10n_de is installed. The module can check whether the German tax number (Steuernummer) is available.
