Common Pitfalls
- Invoice Validation Issues: Invoice validation may fail with "false" response even when data is correct. Check that all required fields are populated and invoice lines are properly linked before validation.
- Manual Line Creation Required: After creating invoice, manual addition of invoice lines via
account.move.line model is often necessary before validation.
- Product ID Dependencies: Ensure product exists in system before creating invoice lines. Use
ODOO model product.product search to verify product availability.
