Weighing deferred label printing

This module is aimed to speed up the label printing process by returning the control of the user's screen and triggering the printing in a background process. If something goes wrong, the user is informed with a notification that can be used to retry the process.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0

This module makes weighing label printing run in the background so the screen is released immediately. If printing fails, the user gets a notification with a retry/download option.

When you record a weight in the weighing wizard and the option to print a label is enabled, the label printing is sent to a background process instead of blocking your screen. The wizard closes right away, and the label is printed after the transaction is committed.

  • The behaviour is controlled by a system setting called stock_weighing_threaded_print.print_in_new_thread. When it is active, printing is deferred; when it is off, printing works as before.
  • If the background print succeeds, you receive a success notification saying the label was printed.
  • If it fails, you get a warning notification titled "Direct print issue" listing the affected operations. The notification includes a button to download the label instead, so you can still get the document.
  • The module extends stock.move.line and the weighing.wizard to add this deferred printing logic.
  • It relies on the base_report_to_printer module to send the report to the printer and on web_notify to show the success or warning messages.

No new menus or screens are added; the change happens inside the existing weighing workflow and label printing actions.
