This can happen due to several reasons, and here are the possible steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Check if the Model is Defined<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that the model is correctly defined in the <code><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color\">models.py<\/mark><\/code> file of your Odoo module. The basic structure for defining a model in Odoo looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">from odoo import models, fields\n\nclass MyModel(models.Model):\n    _name = 'my.model'  # Ensure the model name is correct\n    _description = 'Description of my model'\n\n    name = fields.Char(string=\"Name\")<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure the <code><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color\">_name<\/mark><\/code> field is set properly and the module has been loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Ensure the Module is Installed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the module containing the model is not installed or not properly loaded, Odoo won&#8217;t be able to find the model. To fix this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Apps<\/strong> in Odoo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search for your custom module.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install or update the module if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Check Model Name in Code<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The model&#8217;s name used in the code should match exactly what is defined in your model. For instance, if you\u2019re using the model in XML files or other Python code, ensure the correct name is used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">&lt;record id=\"action_my_model\" model=\"ir.actions.act_window\">\n    &lt;field name=\"res_model\">my.model&lt;\/field>  &lt;!-- Make sure this matches the model name in models.py -->\n&lt;\/record><\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Module Not Loaded Properly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the module might not have loaded properly, especially if it was manually added. Try the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Restart the Odoo service<\/strong>: Odoo loads models when it starts, so restarting Odoo can sometimes fix this issue:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  <code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">sudo service odoo restart<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Update your module<\/strong>: Run the following command in your terminal to update the module:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  <code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">.\/odoo-bin -u your_module_name<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Check for Model Inheritance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your model extends another model (via inheritance), make sure the parent model exists and is loaded before your custom model. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">class InheritedModel(models.Model):\n    _inherit = 'base.model'<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that the parent model (<code><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color\">base.model<\/mark><\/code>) is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Database Issues<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a database might not be synced properly with the models defined in code. To resolve this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Update the module from the UI<\/strong>: Go to <strong>Apps<\/strong> in Odoo, search for your module, and click on the <strong>Update<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Run a database upgrade<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  <code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">.\/odoo-bin -d your_db_name -u your_module_name<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Check for Dependencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure all dependencies for the module (both in terms of Python packages and other Odoo modules) are installed. If a dependency is missing, the model might not load properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the<mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> __manifest__.py<\/mark> file to see if all required modules are listed in the <code><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color\">depends<\/mark><\/code> section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>  <code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">'depends': &#91;'base', 'mail', 'other_module'],<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. <strong>Check Odoo Logs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Odoo server logs often provide useful details when models fail to load. Check the logs to see if there are any errors related to your model:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><code><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">tail -f \/var\/log\/odoo\/odoo.log<\/mark><\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for errors related to your module or model name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>By following these steps, you should be able to locate and fix the &#8220;Model not found&#8221; issue in Odoo 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are constantly meeting with the problem like \u201cModel not found\u201d in the case of Odoo 12, then it states that Odoo is completely incapable of simply locating or loading a particular model that continuously you\u2019re trying to utilize.
