This is a technical module. The goal is to allow others module to define new variables/codes to use during the sequence generation.
So this module is not useful alone. You have to create your own module to add some values into your sequences.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Technical add-on that lets other modules insert their own custom codes into sequence prefixes and suffixes. It is not useful on its own; developers must extend it to supply the values.
This module does not add any screen, menu or button. It changes how Odoo builds the prefix and suffix of sequence numbers (the text placed before or after the running number, for example on invoices, sales orders or any other document that uses a sequence).
Normally Odoo only understands a fixed set of placeholders such as the year or the month. This module opens the door for other modules to provide extra placeholders, written between curly brackets, for example {company_code} or Sequence-{variable1}. When a sequence is generated, the module replaces those placeholders with the values supplied by the installed extension modules.
- It extends the
ir.sequencemodel, the model that stores numbering rules. - It adds a hook that other modules can fill in with their own values.
- It applies the replacement to both the prefix and the suffix of the generated number.
- If a placeholder has no matching value, the numbering is stopped and the user sees an error message asking to check the prefix and suffix against the available values.
Because the module alone provides no values, nothing changes in Odoo until a companion module is installed. The error message is shown as a user-facing warning, and the problem is also written to the server log for administrators.

Source · Odoo 13.0To use this module, you need to:
- depend on this module
- Inherit the
ir.sequenceto fill your custom values
Example:
class IrSequence(models.Model):
_inherit = "ir.sequence"
def _get_special_values(self, date=None, date_range=None):
values = super()._get_special_values(date=date, date_range=date_range)
company_code = self.env.company.special_code
values.update({"company_code": company_code or ""})
return values`You can also update the documentation (on the bottom of ir.sequence form view) to describe variables that your add and the purpose of them.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
<record model="ir.ui.view" id="ir_sequence_form_view">
<field name="name">ir.sequence.form (in custom_module)</field>
<field name="model">ir.sequence</field>
<field name="inherit_id" ref="base.sequence_view"/>
<field name="priority" eval="90"/>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<xpath expr="//page[1]" position="inside">
<group col="3" name="custom_legend">
<group string="Company" name="custom_legend_company">
<span colspan="2">Specific company code: {company_code}</span>
</group>
</group>
</xpath>
</field>
