Well good example for your problem is in two common odoo modules: sales orders and invoices...
Sales orders : takes next sequence number on object create ( every created order get its own sequence number) 
Invoices : on create default value for number is '/' (or draft) and only when you validate invoice it triggers wkf activity and gets the next sequence number.. .

Wise thing is to decide in wich exact moment the sequence needs to be assigned... 
As i can see, you need invoice - like beahviour, that assignes number but not until you are sure in all the data...

Check methods in those two modules and you will soon find the correct way to use sequences

may the source be with you !

Hello,

       You can override create method and call super method for the same, when it returns an id for record at successful creation of record, you can generate sequence and then update the last record with sequence id.

Thanks,

Here I define a custom module code sample you can use any of your custom field....

--------define your model  here-------

class----(--)

_columns={
            
            
              'installment_number':fields.char('ID',readonly=True),

 

-------------first override create method

 def create(self, cr, uid, vals, context=None):
        vals['installment_number'] = self.pool.get('ir.sequence').get(cr, uid,'lending.info')
        return super(lending_info, self).create(cr, uid, vals, context=context)

----------------

         }
    _defaults={
                'installment_number': lambda obj, cr, uid, context: '/',
           
              }

define .xml file for auto increment //auto_id.xml

<openerp><data noupdate="1"><!-- Sequences for loan_id --><record id="seq__loan_code_inh1" model="ir.sequence.type"><field name="name">Lending info1 ID</field><field name="code">lending.info</field></record>

 

<record id="seq_cloan_code_inh2" model="ir.sequence"><field name="name">Lending info1 ID</field><field name="code">lending.info</field><field name="prefix">LN</field><field name="padding">2</field></record></data></openerp>

 

check openerp.py,init.py also

 

Thanks

Libu
