Scheduled actions in Odoo

To create a scheduled action in Odoo, navigate to Settings > Scheduled Actions. Here, you'll find a list of existing actions. Click on any action to view its details.

As depicted in the screenshot, each action corresponds to a specific model and method within that model. You can customize the execution time, frequency, and other settings for each action.

To create your own action, follow these steps:

1. In your custom module, create a new file named cron.xml within the data folder.

2. Add the following XML code to the cron.xml file:

   <record id="custom_cron_job" model="ir.cron">
<field name="name">Custom Cron Job</field>
<field name="model_id" ref="custom_module.model_remote_warehouse"/>
<field name="interval_number">1</field>
<field name="interval_type">days</field>
<field name="numbercall">-1</field>
<field name="active" eval="True"/>
<field name="code">model_remote_warehouse.update_remote_products_report()</field>
</record>


In this XML code:

• <field name="model_id" ref="custom_module.model_remote_warehouse"/> specifies the full model name and method to be executed, such as 'custom_module'.name_of_the_method. In our example, the method update_remote_products_report() is defined in the remote_products.py model file.

This setup ensures that the specified method will be executed each time the scheduled action runs, allowing you to perform custom tasks as needed.
