In Odoo version 13.0 and previous versions, the number of journal
|
|
entries was generated from a sequence configured on the journal.
|
|
|
|
In Odoo version 14.0, the number of journal entries can be manually set
|
|
by the user. Then, the number attributed for the next journal entries in
|
|
the same journal is computed by a complex piece of code that guesses the
|
|
format of the journal entry number from the number of the journal entry
|
|
which was manually entered by the user. It has several drawbacks:
|
|
|
|
- the available options for the sequence are limited,
|
|
- it is not possible to configure the sequence in advance before the
|
|
deployment in production,
|
|
- as it is error-prone, they added a *Resequence* wizard to re-generate
|
|
the journal entry numbers, which can be considered as illegal in many
|
|
countries,
|
|
- the [piece of
|
|
code](https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/14.0/addons/account/models/sequence_mixin.py)
|
|
that handles this is not easy to understand and quite difficult to
|
|
debug.
|
|
|
|
Using this module, you can configure what kind of documents the gap
|
|
sequence may be relaxed And even if you must use no-gap in your company
|
|
or country it will reduce the concurrency issues since the module is
|
|
using an extra table (ir_sequence) instead of locking the last record
|
|
|
|
For those like me who think that the implementation before Odoo v14.0
|
|
was much better, for the accountants who think it should not be possible
|
|
to manually enter the sequence of a customer invoice, for the auditor
|
|
who considers that resequencing journal entries is prohibited by law,
|
|
this module may be a solution to get out of the nightmare.
|
|
|
|
The field names used in this module to configure the sequence on the
|
|
journal are exactly the same as in Odoo version 13.0 and previous
|
|
versions. That way, if you migrate to Odoo version 14.0 and you install
|
|
this module immediately after the migration, you should keep the
|
|
previous behavior and the same sequences will continue to be used.
|
|
|
|
The module removes access to the *Resequence* wizard on journal entries.
