editing mrp_repair workflow

Aldin,

There has been defined a domain on the field operation lines, you would need to remove that.

That domain says, whenever the state of repair order moves from Draft to whatever state, make it Readonly.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply Serpent Consulting Services!

I did try removing the the domain but it causes empty journal lines when I want to pay the invoices in accounting modules. The states of repair order ('draft','confirmed','ready', etc ) are actually set to read only and in the operations lines the state draft:readonly is set to false which is the opposite of what you said. So I'm wondering if there is another way to overide it.

Aldin,

You can simply redefine columns by inheriting the model.

Thanks.

Once agaiin thanks for your swift reply!

It sounds like a good idea, the problem is that i'm not sure how to do it or how you mean I shall do it (which columns to redifine, etc ). Do you have an example for me to follow? It would certainly be appreciated as and I'm on my last hours before it should be done.

Aldin,

Its the same way you inherit a model.

While you inherit the model, write the same field once again in _columns. But do not write the draft:readonly=False part in it.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.

Hi again,

Removing draft:readonly=False sets all states to readonly? as operations field also have the condition readonly=TRUE. I guess I should remove :
 readonly=True, states={'draft':[('readonly',False)]}

FROM:
'operations' : fields.one2many('mrp.repair.line', 'repair_id', 'Operation Lines', readonly=True, states={'draft':[('readonly',False)]}),

Another question is should I add _view.xml and would this work for the form view and should i change the tree view?

  <record id="model_index_view" model="ir.ui.view">
   <field name="name">Model Index</field>
   <field name="model">mrp.repair</field>
   <field name="type">form</field>
   <field name="inherit_id" ref="mrp_repair.view_repair_order_form"/>
   <field name="arch" type="xml">
         <page string="Operations" position="inside">
     <field colspan="4" mode="tree,form" name="operations" position="replace" nolabel="1" widget="one2many_list">
                        <field name="perations" />
     </page>
    </field>
   </field>
  </record>

Thanks,
Aldin

Aldin,

Yes, you caught it right. You also need to disable the property which set the field readonly=True mandatorily.(better to set readonly=False on py now)

No, you need not to change anything from XML side, because the change of readonly-ness is being handled on py side in this case.

I checked the code and the xml change is not needed here.

Hope this will surely help.

Thanks,
