OpenERP - ValueError: No such external ID currently defined in the system: purchase.menu_purchase_form_action - openerp-7

Question

I am new to OpenERP. I am getting this error while installing or uninstalling a module in my openerp.
I am not able to find where it went wrong.
Here is the error log:
OpenERP Server Error

ValueError: No such external ID currently defined in the system: purchase.menu_purchase_form_action
Can I have any suggestions regarding this?

Answer 1

You are using Purchase module, i think in your openerp.py file has mistake, you have to add in openerp.py file 'depends':['base','purchase'], now check this it will work.

Answer 2

You may not add the entry for view.xml file in openerp.py file in purchase module
