When loading the general accounting plan, it creates the accounts with 6 digits and I want to change them to 10 digits.

Is correct Jose Anton I want to change the lenght of the accounts code e.g. 570000 to 5700000000.

Josep Anton Belchi Riera

Juan Ricardo:

I suggest you to think carefully about this. Do you really need to expand the lenght of your accounts?

Remember that is adviced not to create sub-accounts for every single partner like customers and vendors.

There is no limit to the length of an Account Code in versions 12, 13 and 14 of Odoo.

Simply use your own numbering conventions:


I do agree with Josep Anton Belchi Riera - be careful about adding dimensions to your Chart - locations, cost centers, projects, customers, etc - this information is best managed via Analytic Accounting.

Go to Settings --> Technical --> Sequences & Identifiers --> Sequences : You can change the "Sequence size" or any other param of any sequence.

You should also change your question to something like: How can I change the "sequence size" of .......

In my opinion, he is not asking for this.

He wants to change the lenght of the accounts code e.g. 570000 to 5700000000.
