AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

When sending an invoice or credit note by email, you can tick existing attachments already stored on that document so they are included in the email, instead of uploading them again.

This module extends the invoice/credit note sending wizard in Odoo's Accounting app. When you use the send-by-email action on an account.move, the wizard now shows a list of checkboxes with the attachments that are already linked to that document.

  • You simply tick the attachments you want to send along with the invoice; no need to upload the same file again.
  • The list only shows files attached to the document you are sending, so you cannot accidentally pick files from other records.
  • The checkbox list is only displayed when the wizard is opened for a document, so it stays hidden in other situations.
  • The selected attachments are added to the email's extra attachments, together with the ones Odoo normally includes.

It touches the account.move.send.wizard screen and the ir.attachment records linked to account.move documents. No new menus, reports or scheduled actions are added; the change is limited to the sending wizard.
