I want to add few fields to hr_employee and new tables in the database related to employee.

Employee create form is not reflected with the new fields even though added in the database.

If you want to add a field to hr.employee, then you have 2 choices:

  1. Add a field in menu "Settings -> Technical -> Database Structure -> Models". Therefore your user must have the access right Technical Features. Afterwards you have to add the new field in the desired views. The easiest way to do this is to activate the Developer mode (see here), go to the view you want to change and e.g. choose Edit TreeView in the drop-down box.
  2. Create a new Module (see OpenERP Developer documentation)

You should never insert a new field directly in the database!

Hi,
Once you add a field, you have to add it corresponding model and if you need to display it in the user interface, it has to be added to the corresponding view also.

* inherit and add field to the model, which will add a field in the db table
* inherit the view and place the field
