This module provides a wizard to generate company-specific sequences from reusable sequence templates. It is designed for multi-company environments where each company requires its own ir.sequence records but shares a common configuration pattern. The wizard allows defining sequence templates that include dynamic placeholders referencing company fields.
During generation, placeholders of the form %(company_id.)s are automatically replaced with the corresponding values from each company. Other placeholders (for example %(year)s) are preserved and evaluated later by the standard sequence engine. The module also validates that all referenced company fields exist and checks that required company values are not empty.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you define reusable sequence templates and generate one numbered sequence per company in a single step, automatically filling in company details such as name or registry number into the prefix and suffix.
This module adds a new "Sequence Templates" screen under the Sequences area of Odoo. A template stores the usual numbering settings: a name, a sequence code, standard or no-gap numbering, prefix, suffix, step and size. In the prefix and suffix you can use the normal date placeholders (year, month, day, etc.) and also company placeholders such as the company ID, company name or company registry number.
From the template list or form, a "Generate Sequences" button opens a small wizard. You pick the companies (only companies you are allowed to work on) and confirm; the module then creates one real sequence per selected company, named after the company and the template, and linked back to the template. Company placeholders are replaced with each company's own values, while date placeholders are left for Odoo's normal numbering engine.
Business rules and checks: - If a placeholder refers to a company field that does not exist, generation stops with an error. - If a selected company has an empty value for a field used in a template, generation is blocked until that field is filled in. - The wizard shows a warning that generating may duplicate or override existing sequences.
On the template form a counter button shows how many sequences were generated from it and opens that list. Only administrators can create, edit or delete templates and run the wizard; other internal users can only read templates.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 18.0Usage
Source · Odoo 18.0To use this module, follow these steps:
- Create one or more sequence templates and define the desired prefix and suffix, with company placeholders if desired. You can use placeholders like:
%(company_id.id)s%(company_id.name)s%(company_id.vat)s- Select the templates you want to use.
- Trigger the server action that opens the wizard to generate sequences for companies.
- In the wizard, select the target companies.
- Confirm to generate the sequences.
The wizard will:
- Read the required company fields used in the templates.
- Validate that those fields exist and are not empty.
- Create one
ir.sequenceper selected company and template with the resolved values.
