Answer 1

It is giving this error because you are using action before it is created, So first you have to define your action and then you can use it.

So you should try as following:

<record id="action_daily_transaction" model="ir.actions.act_window">        
    <field name="name">Daily Transaction</field>        <!-- name of action -->
    <field name="res_model">daily.transaction</field>        <!-- this action will be mapped to model specified -->
    <field name="view_type">form</field>        
    <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>        <!-- these are type of view our module will show for our daily transaction mode  -->
    <field name="search_view_id"  eval="False"/>        <!-- here we specify id of our search view -->
    <field name="context">{}</field>        
    <field name="help">Create new daily transaction.</field>    <!-- help text for our model -->
</record>

<menuitem action="action_daily_transaction" id="menu_action_daily_transaction"
parent="menu_daily_transaction_root" sequence="20"/>
