Hello

I think you might ask the question to Odoo's forum as it looks like a general Odoo question.
But if you think it's related to an OCA module, then it's better to create an issue in the right github's repo 

You might test on runbot.odoo.com for standard odoo or on runboat that you can find in any OCA'a repo.

Best regards

Hi everyone,


I’m trying to understand why the “Send by Email” button doesn’t appear on my bills — it stays invisible regardless of their status.

I’ve checked the technical condition in the code (state != 'posted' or is_being_sent or invoice_pdf_report_id or move_type not in ('out_invoice', 'out_refund')), but I’d like to understand the functional logic — what needs to be configured in Odoo to make it visible in the standard flow?


I managed to make the “Send by Email” button visible, but I’m now facing a blocking message: “You can only generate sales documents.”

This action used to work in previous Odoo versions (it’s part of a self-billing process).


Do you have any recommendations or know if there’s a module or standard approach for handling this in Odoo 18?


Thanks in advance for your help,

Nazaire


(Odoo version: 18)
