Base Sequence Template

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/server-tools Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

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.<field>)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.

Usage

To use this module, follow these steps:

  1. 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
  2. Select the templates you want to use.
  3. Trigger the server action that opens the wizard to generate sequences for companies.
  4. In the wizard, select the target companies.
  5. 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.sequence per selected company and template with the resolved values.
