I have created a custom module in magento 2 and its layout file is located in 

app/code/Learning/RewriteSales/view/adminhtml/layout/sales_order_view.xml

but the system loads the layout from 

vendor/magento/module-sales/view/adminhtml/layout/sales_order_view.xml

instead of my custom layout file.

How can i override this vendor layout file with my custom layout file?

the complete code of sales_order_view.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0"?> <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <referenceBlock name="order_info"> <action method="setTemplate"> <argument name="template" translate="true" xsi:type="string">Learning_RewriteSales::order/view/info.phtml</argument> </action> </referenceBlock> <referenceBlock name="order_info"> <block class="Learning\RewriteSales\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View\Custom" name="sales_order_view_custom" template="order/view/custom.phtml" /> </referenceBlock> <referenceBlock name="order_item"> <action method="setTemplate"> <argument name="template" translate="true" xsi:type="string">Learning_RewriteSales::order/view/items.phtml</argument> </action> <arguments> <argument name="columns" xsi:type="array"> <item name="product" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Producthhhh</item> <item name="status" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Item Status</item> <item name="price-original" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Original Price</item> <item name="price" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Price</item> <item name="ordered-qty" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Qty</item> <item name="subtotal" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Subtotal</item> <item name="tax-amount" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Tax Amount</item> <item name="tax-percent" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Tax Percent</item> <item name="discont" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Discount Amount</item> <item name="total" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Row Total</item> <item name="image" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Image</item> </argument> </arguments> </referenceBlock> <referenceBlock name="order_item"> <block class="Learning\RewriteSales\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View\Items\Renderer\DefaultRenderer" name="sales_order_view_items_renderer_defaultrenderer" template="order/view/items/renderer/default.phtml" /> <arguments> <argument name="columns" xsi:type="array"> <item name="product" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-product</item> <item name="status" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-status</item> <item name="price-original" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-price-original</item> <item name="price" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-price</item> <item name="qty" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-ordered-qty</item> <item name="subtotal" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-subtotal</item> <item name="tax-amount" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-tax-amount</item> <item name="tax-percent" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-tax-percent</item> <item name="discont" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-discont</item> <item name="total" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-total</item> <item name="image" xsi:type="string" translate="false">col-image</item> </argument> </arguments> </referenceBlock> </body>

but the module does not take this layout.

inside module.xml file, you have to declare dependency of core module,

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd"> <module name="Vendor_Modulename" setup_version="1.0.0" active="true"> <sequence> <module name="Magento_Sales"/> </sequence> </module> </config>

You have override your xml file at right place,

app/code/Learning/RewriteSales/view/adminhtml/layout/sales_order_view.xml

Inside your file, you have to just keep only required code to work your custom layout file inside body tag of xml file.

Demo for set different template file,

<?xml version="1.0"?> <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <referenceBlock name="column_name"> <action method="setTemplate"> <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Modulename::mycustomfile.phtml</argument> </action> </referenceBlock> </body> </page>

You have to first check if any log error are generated for this layout.

You have to just clear cache and remove var folder.

if you are overriding layout xml of any core module you should mention sequence in module.xml like this :

<module name="vendorname_modulename" setup_version="1.0.0"> <sequence> <module name="Magento_Sales"/> </sequence> </module>
