技术咨询：如何修改accounting->Reports->PDF Reports中的Partner Ledger菜单项名称？

Hey there! Let's walk through two reliable ways to rename the Partner Ledger menu item located under Accounting > Reports > PDF Reports > Partner Ledger in your Odoo instance. I'll start with the recommended maintainable approach, then cover a quick tweak for testing or temporary changes.

Method 1: Custom Module (Recommended for Production) #

This method ensures your changes won't get overwritten when you update Odoo or the Accounting module. Here's how to do it:

• First, either use an existing custom module or create a new basic one (if you don't have one already).
• In your module's views directory, create a new XML file (e.g., custom_menu_renames.xml).
• Add the following code, replacing Your Desired Menu Name with the new name you want:

  <odoo>
      <!-- Inherit and rename the Partner Ledger menu -->
      <record id="custom_rename_partner_ledger_menu" model="ir.ui.menu">
          <field name="name">Your Desired Menu Name</field>
          <field name="inherit_id" ref="account.menu_action_report_partner_ledger"/>
      </record>
  </odoo>
  

  Note: If the ref value doesn't work, activate Developer Mode, navigate to the Partner Ledger menu, and check its External ID to use here.
• Update your module's __manifest__.py file to include this XML in the data list:

  'data': [
      # ... other existing files
      'views/custom_menu_renames.xml',
  ],
  

• Upgrade your custom module from the Apps menu, then refresh your browser to see the updated menu name.

Method 2: Quick Developer Mode Tweak (Temporary/Testing) #

If you need a fast change and don't mind losing it during module updates, use this:

• Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings > Developer Tools > Activate Developer Mode.
• Navigate to Settings > Technical > User Interface > Menus.
• Use the search bar to find the "Partner Ledger" menu record.
• Click the Edit button, modify the Name field to your preferred text, then save.
• Refresh your page—your new menu name will be visible immediately.

Important Note #

Always prefer the custom module method for production environments. Direct database changes (like the second method) are overwritten when you update Odoo or the Accounting app.
