Hi Prashanth Kumar,

Settings -> Technical -> Sequences and Identifiers -> Sequences

In the search bar, type "Purchase" Select the first one.


You can add prefix and suffixes.

Prefix: Fixed or date/ time-based prefix characters (Basic Odoo feature does not provide the project name and location)
Suffix: Fixed or date/ time-based suffix characters after the character.
Sequence Size: The total number of numerals in the number (padding) ie: 001 or 000001

Step: The increment used for the next number in the sequence

Next Number: The next number used for the numeric part of the sequence

Use subsequences per date_range: Allow to add the Data/time range.


UPDATED:-

you can override the CREATE function of the purchase order. and add the location and project name etc in the reference.

    @api.model
    def create(self, vals):
        if vals.get('name', 'New') == 'New':
            vals['name'] = self.env['ir.sequence'].next_by_code('purchase.order') or '/'
# Inherit this fuction and add project name and location and company name as a string before the sequence.
# then change the new PO reference to the vals['name']. last return the vals, you can recreate the complete reference.
        return super(PurchaseOrder, self).create(vals)

Thank you

Thanks Nikhil for the response,

The above configuration i did but my requirement is that to fetch the information automatically , The example i mentioned can be defined as prefix , but if the purchasing is done from different location and for different projects what should i do , and more over the customized PO is applicable for all the projects, i want this format for a single project and the location. .... is there any way that we can fetch the project name info and Location info from the fields in coding

Thanks in Advance

do this in py

    @api.model
    def create(self, vals):
        if vals.get('name', 'New') == 'New':
            if location == "location_1":
                vals['name'] = self.env['ir.sequence'].next_by_code('purchase.order')
            if location == 'location_2'
                vals['name'] = self.env['ir.sequence'].next_by_code('purchase.order.location') 

        return super(PurchaseOrder, self).create(vals)

class purchaseorderlocation(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'purchase.order'
    _name = purchase.order.location

    seq = fields.Char('')

put this purchase/data/purchase_data.xml
<record id="sequence_PO" model="ir.sequence">
    <field name="name">purchase order</field>
    <field name="code">purchase.order.location</field>
    <field name="prefix">PO or Purchase order</field> #prefix of the doc
    <field name="padding">5</field>
    <field name="number_next">1</field>
    <field name="number_increment">1</field>
</record>

Thanks Rakesh,

But After editing all the above on Purchse.py it is showing "The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application"

Can explain what might be the problem...... an moreover unable to login to the home screen. This i installed locally.

Thanks in advance.
