Product UOM field not showing on Purchase and Quotations - OpenErp

Question

I'm using th purchase app on OpenErp.

I know this field is declared on purchase.py and called on purchase_view.xml but strangely it doesn't appears when i'm trying to add a new product quotation or purchase, don't get me wrong, the app works, but i find it amusing that this field isn't showing at all.

This is the field code on purchase.py

'product_uom': fields.many2one('product.uom', 'Product Unit of Measure', required=True),

And the call on purchase_view.xml

<field name="product_uom" groups="product.group_unidadmedida" on_change="onchange_product_unidadmedida(parent.pricelist_id,product_id,product_qty,product_uom,parent.partner_id, parent.date_order,parent.fiscal_position,date_planned,name,price_unit,context)"/>

Both on the same class purchase_order_line btw

Any hint on this?

Answer 1

Would please check you have given rights of "group_unidadmedida" to your user?

Answer 2

You need to assign this group to your logged user to see Unit of Measure in Purchase order. "Manage Multiple Units of Measure"

Go to the Settings --> Users --> Users. Open logged user record. Go to Access Rights tab and first tick the "Technical Features", save it, reload it. Again open the same user record from menu. Now you will see some more groups under "Technical Settings: separator. Tick the "Manage Multiple Units of Measure" , save it and reload it. Now again open Purchase order form and you will be able to see Product UOM inside it.
