Print Policy Mixin

Print Policy Mixin

Description

Print Policy Mixin is a core mixin module in the @simetri-sinergi-id/ssi-mixin technology suite for Odoo 15. It provides a standardised, configurable print-document framework that adds a Print button to any Odoo model via an abstract mixin — without requiring changes to the base model’s views.

The module ships three main components:

• mixin.print_document — abstract mixin that automatically injects a Print button into the form-view header and list-view header when _automatically_insert_print_button = True is set on the subclass.

• print_document_type — a named document type (scoped to a specific model) that groups the reports available for printing; its code is generated from a sequence.

• ir.actions.report extension — adds print_document_type_ids to link reports to types, a print_python_code condition evaluated at print time, and a print_multi flag for batch printing.

Key Features

• Auto-Injected Print Button: One flag enables the Print button on both form and list views with zero view changes.

• Document Type Grouping: Group multiple reports per model under named types for a clean UI.

• Python-Based Print Policy: Control report visibility per record with a Python expression evaluated at runtime.

• Batch / Multi-Record Printing: Flag reports for batch printing from the list view.

• Group-Based Access: Optionally restrict individual reports to specific user groups.

• Mixin Design: Inherit mixin.print_document in any model — no structural changes required.

• Open Source: AGPL-3.0 license with community-driven improvements.

Use Cases / Context

Use this mixin whenever you need a flexible, policy-driven print button on a custom Odoo model:

• Sales Quotations: Offer different quote layouts depending on the customer type via Python conditions.

• HR Contracts: Print contract PDFs with different templates per contract type.

• Invoices / Delivery Orders: Group invoice and packing-slip reports under separate document types.

• Batch Operations: Allow warehouse staff to print multiple delivery slips in one click from the list view.

• Custom Transactional Models: Any model that needs contextual, role-based report selection.

Simply inherit mixin.print_document, set _automatically_insert_print_button = True, and configure Print Document Types via the menu.

Installation & Usage

After installation:

1. Go to Reporting → Print Document Types to create types and link reports.

2. In your custom model, inherit the mixin:

   class MyModel(models.Model):
       _name = "my.model"
       _inherit = ["mixin.print_document", "my.model"]
       _automatically_insert_print_button = True

3. The Print button will appear automatically in the form header and list header. Users select a document type and report via the wizard.

FAQ

• Standalone? No — it is a mixin foundation. Install it as a dependency of your custom module.

• Odoo Version? Odoo 15.0.

• Can I control which users see which reports? Yes — use print_python_code on the report or restrict via Odoo groups.

• Batch printing from list view? Yes — enable print_multi on the report action.

• Contribute? Fork, branch, and submit a pull request on GitHub.
