[16.0] brand_external_report_layout : can't be used in multi-company context and conflicts with other modules

[metaminux]

Module

brand_external_report_layout

Describe the bug

• the model brand.document.layout is defining company_details (and should define is_company_details_empty also, as declared in [16.0][BUG][brand_external_report_layout] is_company_details_empty missing #167 ) so it's not possible to use the same brand for different companies
• the company Qweb variable is replaced by a res.brand object in reports, so every module inheriting company to add information in reports is conflicting (for example, l10n_ca from Odoo with account_fiscal_country_id and l10n_ca_pst fields)

To Reproduce

16.0:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new database with brand_external_report_layout installed and demo data
2. Go to settings and set a specific document layout for first company (this should set the company details by default)
3. Set the company with Brand use level = optional
4. Switch company and do the same for the second company, with another layout
5. Create a brand and set its document layout (for the moment, [16.0][BUG][brand_external_report_layout] is_company_details_empty missing #167 is preventing to go further...)
6. From now on, every sale, invoice, etc. that will use this brand will have the same address (company/brand details) for both companies

Expected behavior
I think only "style" fields should be overridden by brands.

Additional context
I'll propose a PR that keeps the original company object and temporarily modify it with data from brand then go back to original after the report is generated.

There is an extra consequence of this. It is impossible to generate invoices for printing in "batch" (i.e. invoicing->customers->invoices; select a bunch of invoices; print->invoices) this triggers and error for users that are not part of group Administration/Settings because of the missing access to the resources:

Closing bugs like this is not appropriate. Please disable the bot or increase the timeout, it already closed other valid bugs.

There is no activity on this because it is awaiting an aswer from the maintaner, not because the reporter didn't do his part.

The pull request is there. Keep open and merge that instead.

[metaminux]

@diniciacci is right, bug is still there...

Original PR #180 as been superseded by #201 but we're still waiting for a merge...
@sbejaoui ?

[jeanpaulrobineau]

This module has never been tested properly!
In the manifest file you find
"assets": {
"web.report_assets_common": [
"/brand_external_report_layout/"
"static/src/legacy/scss/asset_styles_brand_report.scss"
]
But in static/ there is only a discription where is the scss file???

@sbejaoui Can you please do the necessary?

[metaminux]

@OCA/brand-maintainers We need some feedback from maintainers here... please.

[sbejaoui]

Hi,
I will check this and get back to you

[javidiez92]

Any progress on this issue?
