My openerp.py file

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
{
    'name': "Daily Transaction Manager",

    'summary': """
        Used For Managing entrys of our daily transactions.""",

    'description': """
        Used For Managing entrys of our daily transactions
    """,

    'author': "Peniel Technology LLC",
    'website': "http://www.penieltech.com.com",

    # Categories can be used to filter modules in modules listing
    # Check https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/master/openerp/addons/base/module/module_data.xml
    # for the full list
    'category': 'manager',
    'version': '1.0',

    # any module necessary for this one to work correctly
    'depends': [],

    # always loaded
    'data': [
        # 'security/ir.model.access.csv',
        'daily_transaction_view.xml',

    ],
    # only loaded in demonstration mode
    'demo': [],
    'installable': True,
    'auto_install':False,
}

My init.py file :-

import daily_transaction

My daily_transaction.py File

from openerp import fields,osv


class daily_transaction(osv.osv):
    _name= "daily_transaction"
    _description= "Daily Transaction"

    _coloums = {
        'subject': fields.char('Subject',size=128,required=True),
        'date' : fields.date('Date',required=True),
        'note' : fields.text('Notes'),
        'amount' : fields.float('Amount',required=True),
        'type' : fields.selection([
            ('transport','Transport'),
            ('household','Household'),
            ('personal','Personal'),
            ], 'Type',required=True),

    }

My daily_transaction_view.xml is like:-

        </tree> 

    </field>

try to delete the Version="9.0" on form view. Btw, i recommend you to use Api 8 and not old api if you are doing a new module — dccdany
– dccdany, Commented Feb 25, 2016 at 12:12
Yes, it is. Ok, try with good tabulation since record is in the same level as data please, and edit your question with new code btw — dccdany
– dccdany, Commented Feb 25, 2016 at 12:39
No, its just old (search for odoo new api/old api). The error is for another thing in your .xml file, so please try what i said before untill we fix it :) — dccdany

I got the same error when using a wrong "value" attribute for field:

<field value="myvalue" name="myfield"/>

and I did fix it with:

<field name="myfield">myvalue</field>

Check that all your elements are properly closed.

It seems that the validation error message is not properly shown.

What @yucer answered worked for me, in Odoo v10 I was getting Element odoo has extra content: template, line 3 and the problem was the parameter of a XML tag, in my case I had written inherit instead of inherit_id.

there is a spelling mistake in .py file and form view .....

_coloums --> _columns

.py file --> 

_columns = 
{ 'subject': fields.char('Subject',size=128,required=True),
    'date' : fields.date('Date',required=True),
    'note' : fields.text('Notes'),
    'amount' : fields.float('Amount',required=True),
    'type' : fields.selection([
        ('transport','Transport'),
        ('household','Household'),
        ('personal','Personal'),
        ], 'Type',required=True),
}

<!--Form -->

<record id="view_daily_transaction_form" **module**="ir.ui.view"> 
<record id="view_daily_transaction_form" **model**="ir.ui.view">

I hope this Answer is helpful for you.. Thank you

In daily_transaction.py File,

_name= "daily_transaction"

It should be like ,

_name= "daily.transaction"

If you change any code in .xml file , Save that file and you must restart the server and Upgrade your module so that your edited file is loaded again on the server.

You can upgrade your module by command line as below:

./odoo.py -d db_name -u module_name

Only after upgrading your module the changes will take place.

Most of the time, the problem is caused by misspelling at somewhere, such as the attribute names in the XML tags or tag value is between opening and closing tags but not a field value. Anyway, check it carefully, the errors do not show exactly where the misspelling is.

In your daily_transaction_view.xml line number 3 there is one <data> element.

Odoo is not expecting that in your XML. Remove and try to upgrade your module. It should work.

You made a spelling mistake in the XML file.

It should be model not module:

<record id="view_daily_transaction_form" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">daily.transaction.form.view</field>
    <field name="model">daily.transaction</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form string="Daily Transaction" >
            <group>
                <field name="name"/>
                <field name="date"/>
                <field name="type"/>
                <field name="amount"/>
                <field name="note"/>
            </group>    
        </form> 
    </field>    
</record>
