How to add a button? Either in the submenu [More v]or next to [Create] or Import.

NB: I check to import it in the section __openerp__.py data.

You need to take care of the things below by adding a new menu to the "Advanced" menu.

• view register form
• view action type
• register ir_values ​​(where do you want to display the menu)
• view_id

( .xml ):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
    <data>
        <record id="view_create_delivery_button" model="ir.ui.view">
            <field name="name">Create Delivery</field>
            <field name="model">sale.order.line</field>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
                <form string="Create Delivery" version="7.0">

                    <!-- Design Form or put your field here -->                
                    <footer>
                        <!-- Add button on footer of pop-up window -->
                    </footer>
               </form>
            </field>
        </record>

        <record id="action_create_delivery_button" model="ir.actions.act_window">
            <field name="name">Create Delivery</field>
            <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
            <field name="res_model">sale.order.line</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">form</field>
            <field name="view_id" ref="view_create_delivery_button"/>
            <field name="target">new</field>
            <field name="multi">True</field>
        </record>

        <record model="ir.values" id="ir_values_create_delivery_button">
            <field name="model_id" ref="sale.model_sale_order_line" />
            <field name="name">Create Delivery</field>
            <field name="key2">client_action_multi</field>
            <field name="value" eval="'ir.actions.act_window,' + str(ref('action_create_delivery_button'))" />
            <field name="key">action</field>
            <field name="model">sale.order.line</field>
        </record>
    </data>
</openerp>
