Hello,
starting off with a fresh installation of trytond V 6.8.1 there are only 21 report types listed in the menu you mentioned above:
How many reports should there be listed initially? And how would I add the report for e.g. pretty-printing a report for a BOM or a report for a production of an order?
Kind regards,
Anton G. Mückl

It depends on which modules that you activated. In these screenshot, you can see all the reports for the modules you have installed.

So after creating a new report you will need to create a keyword to link in which model the report will be shown. You can take a look over the tutorial section on [how to create a report](https://docs.tryton.org/projects/server/en/latest/tutorial/module/report.html) or search any example like the [invoice report](https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton/-/blob/1f8db27068f4ae9ea321325f422258e2e5707ead/modules/account_invoice/invoice.xml#L295).
The problem I see is that I don’t think you can access through the menu the ir.action.keyword view. So I don’t see possible for a user to create a report only using the UI.
I don’t see a problem to introduce a keyword entry on the menu, so maybe we are missing that. But anyone feel free to correct me if this is somehow not a good option.
Last option (but generally not recomended) could be to tweak a bit the sao and pass the name of the model to access it’s view:
[https://demo6.8.tryton.org/#demo6.8/model/ **ir.action.keyword** /](https://demo6.8.tryton.org/#demo6.8/model/ir.action.keyword/)

The keywords are accessible from the “Administration / User Interface / Actions” entry.

thank you very much for pointing me to the tutorial. I managed to work it through and got a better understanding of the overall concept - albeit there is still a lot to figure out…
