external identifiers

string identifier stored in ir.model.data, can be used to refer to a record regardless of its database identifier during data imports or export/import roundtrips.

External identifiers are in the form module.id (e.g. account.invoice_graph). From within a module, the module. prefix can be left out. Sometimes referred to as “xml id” or xml_id as XML-based AutoCAD : F.A.Q. make extensive use of them.
