Usage

For End Users

1. Install report_printed_flag module

2. Install extension modules that support printed flags (e.g., report_printed_flag_account)

3. Go to Settings > Reporting > Printed Flag > Configurations

4. Create a configuration for your model (Company + Model)

5. Add report rules (select report + optional domain condition)

6. Generate a configured report from a document (e.g., print an invoice)

Result:

• The printed field is automatically set to True

• A log entry is created (if enabled in configuration)

• Printed report names are computed (if enabled in configuration)

Access logs via:

Settings > Reporting > Printed Flag > Logs

For Module Developers

To add printed flag support to a custom model:

1. Create your model inheriting from report.printed.mixin:

   class MyModel(models.Model): _name = ‘my.model’ _inherit = [‘my.model’, ‘report.printed.mixin’]

2. Create QWeb PDF reports for your model (standard Odoo process)

3. Instruct users to configure which reports trigger the printed flag via the UI

That’s it! The mixin provides all field and method implementations automatically.

<button name="action_view_printed_logs"
        type="object"
        string="View Printed Logs"
        icon="fa-print"
        invisible="not printed_report_names"/>

Known issues / Roadmap

• Provide official extension modules (stock, account)

• Add support for additional report types (HTML, XLSX)

• Optimize performance for high-volume batch printing

• Improve handling of large datasets
