# General sequence in account journals

This module extends the functionality of account to support sequenced entry numbers and to allow you to renumber them if needed, on demand.

It adds a new field called Entry number. This is independent from the Number that Odoo adds by default, and has different purpose.

# Installation

After installing this module, no entry numbers will be generated because that could have a very negative impact in installations that already had a lot of account moves.

If you need to add numbers to preexisting account moves, please use the renumbering wizard as explained in the Usage section.

# Configuration

To configure journal sequences:

1. Have full accounting permissions.
2. Go to Invoicing > Configuration > Accounting > Journals.
3. Select or create the journal you want to configure.
4. Use Account entry number sequence to configure a sequence.

Note that:

- Various journals can share the same sequence.
- All journals get a shared default sequence, per company.
- Entry numbers must be unique per company. So, if you use different sequences per journal, make sure they don’t produce colliding results.

# Usage

To see journal entry numbers:

1. Go to Invoicing > Accounting > Miscellaneous > Journal Entries.
2. Notice the new field Entry Number. Only posted moves get an entry number.

Note that:

- You can use that new field in quick searches.
- You can see it also in Invoicing > Accounting > Miscellaneous > Journal Items.

To renumber journal entries:

1. Have full accounting permissions.
2. Have Accounting / Invoicing / Billing Administrator permissions.
3. Go to Invoicing > Accounting > Actions > Renumber journal entries.
4. Configure those parameters.
5. Click on Renumber.

Note that:

- You will only be able to select sequences related to journals.
- A sequence usually affects various journals, if not all.
