Hi Nicolas,

The concept sounds interesting, but I'm having a bit of difficulty
understanding the design from your explanation. Perhaps a JIRA with a
PoC patch might help put it in perspective. But overall I like the
general idea of allowing overridden PDF templates.

Hi all,

Currently, I work on a pdf invoice creation for a personal project 
and I
wish go for this time to improve the printable document 
configuration (like
order pdf, invoice pdf, shipment pdf, and soon) related to the
organizational party that at its origin.

To realize it I started a POC where a add a new entity 
PartyAcctgPrefTplDoc
(maybe you have a better name) that associate an organizational party
(PartyAcctgPreference), a documentType (invoiceType, orderType...) 
and a
content.
The content return the screen to use (as blog concept) and the standard
document screen return the given screen or call the default screen 
is empty.

With this improvement, you can create your own pdf template document 
in your
custom plugin with associate data and use it without any framework
modification.

More, if you have a specific case to rendering different document 
following
functional case, you can implement it on your screen.

Also, we can have a standard choice to rendering your document from a
content, manageable from PartyContent association.

The life isn't pretty ? (french expression, if you not understant, just
ignore it :)

Feel free if you have some remarks, I will create an issue for each 
document
type manageable by this concept to detail more this idea.

For example :
    Content data
  ---------------------

     <DataResource dataResourceId="MY_TPL_SALES_INV"
dataResourceTypeId="URL_RESOURCE" dataResourceName="My templage sales
invoice" mimeTypeId="application/pdf"
objectInfo="component://myplugin/widget/AccountingPrintScreens.xml#MyBeautyfullInvoicePDF"/> 


     <Content contentId="MY_TPL_SALES_INV" contentTypeId="DOCUMENT"
dataResourceId="MY_TPL_SALES_INV" contentName="My Beautyfull 
template sales
invoice with flowers"/>

     <ContentPurposeType contentPusposeTypeId="INVOICE_TEMPLATE"
description="Content dedicate to rendering invoices"/>

     <PartyAcctgPrefTplDoc partyId="Company" 
invoiceTypeId="SALES_INVOICE"
contentId="MY_TPL_SALES_INV" fromDate="2000-01-01 00:00:00" />

  ----------------------

   Standard screen 
(application/accounting/widget/AccountinPrintScreens.xml)
  -------------------------
    <screen name="InvoicePDF">...
      <actions><script
location="component://accounting/groovyScripts/invoice/GetInvoiceTemplateScreen.groovy"/></actions> 

      <widgets>
           <include-screen name="${screenName}"
location="${screenLocation}"/>
      </widgets>
     </screen>

     <screen name="DefaultInvoicePDF">
         <section>.....
  ------------------------

GetInvoiceTemplateScreen.groovy return DefaultInvoicePDF screen if 
didn't
found any configuration for the invoice.partyIdFrom (for sales) or
invoice.partyId (for purchase)

Cheers,

Nicolas
