Odoo Journal Sequence

Restore and Manage Separate Journal Sequences in Odoo

The Odoo Journal Sequence module enables businesses to create and manage separate numbering sequences for journals, invoices, credit notes, and accounting entries. While Odoo versions up to Odoo 13 allowed users to configure journal-specific sequences, this functionality was deprecated starting from Odoo 14.

This module restores the familiar journal sequence management feature, allowing users to create, modify, and maintain separate sequences for different journals according to business, accounting, and compliance requirements.

Whether you need dedicated invoice numbering, journal entry sequences, or refund sequences, this module gives you complete control over document numbering within Odoo Accounting.
