Create Schedule action in Odoo

Create Schedule Action in Odoo

STEP 1 : Create a model and action in the custom module

The following code will help you to create a model and action in the custom module:

class StockPicking(models.Model):

_inherit = 'stock.picking'

def unreserve_stock(self):

records = self.env['stock.picking'].sudo().search([('state', '=', 'assigned')])

for rec in records:

rec.do_unreserve()

STEP 2 : Define the view for the custom module

STEP 3 : Create scheduled actions

Using the following code you can create a scheduled action:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
    <data noupdate="1">

<record id="stock_picking_scheduler_action" model="ir.cron">

<field name="name">Un-Reserve Stock</field>

<field name="model_id" ref="model_stock_picking"/>

<field name="state">code</field>

<field name="code">model.unreserve_stock()</field>

<field name="user_id" ref="base.user_root"/>

<field name="interval_number">1</field>

<field name="interval_type">days</field>

<field name="numbercall">-1</field>

<field eval="False" name="doall" />

</record>

</data>
</odoo>

Let me explain the above xml code in detail :

<data noupdate="1">

This indicates that all code within this tag shouldn’t be updated when we update your module.

<record id="stock_picking_scheduler_action" model="ir.cron">

id is the identifier and must be unique, ir.cron is the model which is used to handle all the cron jobs therefore, specify it after model

<field name="name">Un-Reserve Stock</field>

This is what users can view from the UI. So let’s take care to specify a meaningful name for the field.

<field name="model_id" ref="model_stock_picking"/>

Indicates on which model the automated action should be called.

<field name="code">model.unreserve_stock()</field>

Here you need to specify the method name to be called.

<field name="user_id" ref="base.user_root"/>

This user id is referring to a specific user, in most cases, this will be base.user_root.

<field name=”interval_number”>1</field>

Always a number and here we specify the number of times the scheduler is to be called based on the “interval_type”. In this example, the cron job is called daily

<field name=”interval_type”>days</field>

The possible values are : minutes, hours, days, weeks, months.

<field name="numbercall">-1</field>

Scheduled actions are called based on the number specified here. When you want it to run forever you simply put ‘-1’.

<field eval="False" name="doall" />

It’s a boolean field. If True : missed occurrences should be executed when the server restarts.
