<p>The py3o reporting engine is a reporting engine for Odoo based on <a class="reference external" href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">Libreoffice</a>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>the report is created with Libreoffice (ODT or ODS),</li>
<li>the report is stored on the server in OpenDocument format (.odt or .ods file)</li>
<li>the report is sent to the user in OpenDocument format or in any output format supported by Libreoffice (PDF, HTML, DOC, DOCX, Docbook, XLS, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p>The key advantages of a Libreoffice based reporting engine are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>no need to be a developer to create or modify a report: the report is created and modified with Libreoffice. So this reporting engine has a full WYSIWYG report development tool!</li>
<li>For a PDF report in A4/Letter format, its easier to develop it with a tool such as Libreoffice that is designed to create A4/Letter documents than to develop it in HTML/CSS, also some print peculiarities (backgrounds, margin boxes) are not very well supported by the HTML/CSS based solutions.</li>
<li>If you want your users to be able to modify the document after its generation by Odoo, just configure the document with ODT output (or DOC or DOCX) and the user will be able to modify the document with Libreoffice (or Word) after its generation by Odoo.</li>
<li>Easy development of spreadsheet reports in ODS format (XLS output possible).</li>
</ul>
<p>This module <em>report_py3o</em> is the base module for the Py3o reporting engine. If used alone, it will spawn a libreoffice process for each ODT to PDF (or ODT to DOCX, ..) document conversion. This is slow and can become a problem if you have a lot of reports to convert from ODT to another format. In this case, you should consider the additionnal module <em>report_py3o_fusion_server</em> which is designed to work with a libreoffice daemon. With <em>report_py3o_fusion_server</em>, the technical environnement is more complex to setup because you have to install additionnal software components and run 2 daemons, but you have much better performances and you can configure the libreoffice PDF export options in Odoo (allows to generate PDF forms, PDF/A documents, password-protected PDFs, watermarked PDFs, etc.).</p>
<p>This reporting engine is an alternative to <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/aeroo-community/aeroo_reports">Aeroo</a>: these two reporting engines have similar features but their implementation is entirely different. You cannot use aeroo templates as drop in replacement though, youll have to change a few details.</p>

<div class="section" id="installation">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Installation</a></h1>
<p>Install the required python libs:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
pip install py3o.template
pip install py3o.formats
</pre>
<p>To allow the conversion of ODT or ODS reports to other formats (PDF, DOC, DOCX, etc.), install libreoffice:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
apt-get --no-install-recommends install libreoffice
</pre>
</div>
<div class="section" id="configuration">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Configuration</a></h1>
<p>For example, to replace the native invoice report by a custom py3o report, add the following XML file in your custom module:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;odoo&gt;
&lt;record id=&quot;account.account_invoices&quot; model=&quot;ir.actions.report&quot;&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;report_type&quot;&gt;py3o&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_filetype&quot;&gt;odt&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;module&quot;&gt;my_custom_module_base&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_template_fallback&quot;&gt;report/account_invoice.odt&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;/record&gt;
&lt;/odoo&gt;
</pre>
<p>where <em>my_custom_module_base</em> is the name of the custom Odoo module. In this example, the invoice ODT file is located in <em>my_custom_module_base/report/account_invoice.odt</em>.</p>
<p>Its also possible to reference a template located in a trusted path of your
Odoo server. In this case you must let the <em>module</em> entry empty and specify
the path to the template as <em>py3o_template_fallback</em>.</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;odoo&gt;
&lt;record id=&quot;account.account_invoices&quot; model=&quot;ir.actions.report&quot;&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;report_type&quot;&gt;py3o&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_filetype&quot;&gt;odt&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_template_fallback&quot;&gt;/odoo/templates/py3o/report/account_invoice.odt&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;/record&gt;
&lt;/odoo&gt;
</pre>
<p>Moreover, you must also modify the Odoo server configuration file to declare
the allowed root directory for your py3o templates. Only templates located
into this directory can be loaded by py3o report.</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
[options]
...
[report_py3o]
root_tmpl_path=/odoo/templates/py3o
</pre>
<p>If you want an invoice in PDF format instead of ODT format, the XML file should look like:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;odoo&gt;
&lt;record id=&quot;account.account_invoices&quot; model=&quot;ir.actions.report&quot;&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;report_type&quot;&gt;py3o&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_filetype&quot;&gt;pdf&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;module&quot;&gt;my_custom_module_base&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_template_fallback&quot;&gt;report/account_invoice.odt&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;/record&gt;
&lt;/odoo&gt;
</pre>
<p>If you want to add a new py3o PDF report (and not replace a native report), the XML file should look like this:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
&lt;odoo&gt;
&lt;record id=&quot;partner_summary_report&quot; model=&quot;ir.actions.report&quot;&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;name&quot;&gt;Partner Summary&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;model&quot;&gt;res.partner&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;report_name&quot;&gt;res.partner.summary&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;report_type&quot;&gt;py3o&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_filetype&quot;&gt;pdf&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;module&quot;&gt;my_custom_module_base&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;py3o_template_fallback&quot;&gt;report/partner_summary.odt&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;!-- Add entry in &quot;Print&quot; drop-down list --&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;binding_type&quot;&gt;report&lt;/field&gt;
&lt;field name=&quot;binding_model_id&quot; ref=&quot;base.model_res_partner&quot;/&gt;
