AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets you give each brand its own external report layout — logo, colours, fonts, header, footer and paper format — so printed documents and PDFs follow the brand instead of the company.

This module extends the brand concept so that every brand can carry its own document styling for outgoing reports.

On a brand record you get new fields: a brand logo, a document template, a report header and footer, a paper format, a font, primary and secondary colours, brand details text, and a background choice (blank or custom image). A button on the brand form opens a "Configure Document Layout" wizard where you pick the layout and see a live preview of an invoice.

When a document (for example an invoice) is linked to a brand that has a document template, the report automatically uses that brand's layout and styling instead of the company's. The module overrides the standard external layouts (boxed, striped, bold, bubble, wave, folder, standard) so the brand's colours, font and background are applied to headers, articles and footers.

Styles are stored as a generated stylesheet that is refreshed automatically whenever a brand's layout, font or colours change. The wizard also suggests colours taken from the uploaded logo when none are set.

Access to the layout wizard is limited to system administrators. The module touches res.brand and adds a new brand.document.layout wizard model.
