Creating a new QWeb report in Odoo

As we learned in Chapter 13, Customizing Odoo for Your Business, you are often almost never better off creating a blank record, and instead are better served by duplicating an existing record that is close to what you want. For example, we duplicated the Sales Order action and menu to create our custom Sales Order - Rush options.

Let's do the same thing for a new custom Odoo report that you could then tie to an action using the skills you learned in Chapter 13, Customizing Odoo for Your Business.

Simply go to the Settings menu and pull up the Report option to list the available reports. Use the search filter to locate the Sales Order form and duplicate it.
