openerp：如何在日期字段上添加功能以发送通知

Question

I create a new openerp object to monitor the insurance issuance of employee dependants the python code:

class hr_emp_dependents(osv.osv):

_name = 'hr.emp.dependents'
_description = 'HR Employee Dependents Line'
_columns = {
    'emp_line': fields.many2one('hr.employee', 'Employee', readonly=False),
    'nationality':fields.many2one('res.country', 'Nationality', required=True),
    'name': fields.char('Name', size=50, readonly=False, required=True),
    'gender': fields.selection([('male', 'Male'),('female', 'Female')], 'Gender', required=True),
    'birthplace': fields.many2one('res.country', 'Birth Place', required=True),
    'relation': fields.many2one('hr.relation', 'Relation', required=True, domain="[('gender','=',gender)]"),
    'dob': fields.date('Date of Birth', required=False),
    'identification_id':fields.char('Identification No', required=False, help="Dependent's ID Information"),
    'insurance_no': fields.char('Medical Insurance No', size=10, required=False),
    'insurance_start_date': fields.date('Insurance Start Date', size=10, required=False),
    'insurance_exp_date': fields.date('Insurance Expire Date', size=10, required=False),
}

hr_emp_dependents()

I need to add function to automatically return the current date and if 'insurance_exp_date' is less by 5 than current date send notification to all users on HR/manger group how I can do that??

Answer 1

To sent notification mails, its better to create a cron job(scheduler).Go to settings/technical/scheduler/scheduler actions. In that create a new scheduler action. In the extra tab specify the function name you want to execute. Check any of the scheduler actions.
