AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets you set a custom short code for refund sequences on sales and purchase journals, so credit notes get their own numbering prefix instead of the default 'R' plus journal code.

This module adds a new field called Refund Short Code on accounting journals. It appears on the journal form, right after the journal's short code, but only for sales and purchase journals that already have refund sequences enabled.

When a credit note (refund) is created in such a journal, Odoo normally builds its sequence using the letter R followed by the journal code. With this module, if you have filled in the Refund Short Code, that default prefix is replaced by your own code. This lets you use a clearer or company-specific prefix for refund documents.

  • The field is only visible on sale and purchase journals with refund sequences turned on.
  • It changes how the starting sequence of a refund document is generated in account.move.
  • It does not affect regular invoices, only refunds.
  • No new menus or reports are added; everything happens on the existing journal configuration screen.

The module touches the account.journal and account.move models. It is a small configuration helper for numbering credit notes.
