Is it possible to change prefix of sequence number according to the state field?
I use a DV prefix for quotation ("Devis") and a BDC prefix for sale order("Bon de Commande") with EBP.
But how can I do the same with OpenERP? When the state is changed into "manual" how can I create a sale order with the right prefix?
Actually this isn't possibile. If you want do this, you must create a module that override the functin trigged when the order change status and write the number yourself.
Go to Setting->Technical->Sequence and Identifiers->Sequences
Find Sales Order
You may use sale quotation numeration app from odoo app store
Setting then select activate Developer mode
then Technical next Sequence and identifier next select sequence next select sales.order next select Edit button next change sequence number
Deactivate Developer mode
See "Sale Quotation Numeration" at https://www.openerp.com/apps/7.0/sale_quotation_number/
Sale Quotation: Sale process in draft stage just informing prices and element of communication. Sale Order: Sale process confirmed, the customer already have a compromise with us in terms of pay an invoice and receive our product or service.
Originally OpenERP manage only 1 sequence for this 2 documents, then the sales order won and lost manage the same sequence losting almost all lost quotations in terms of sequences, making so difficult understand qith a quick view if we are good or bad in terms of logistic and sale process already confirmed.
Technical Explanation:
When you create a quotation, it is numbered using the 'sale.quotation' sequence. When you confirm a quotation, its orginal number is saved in the 'origin' field and the sale order gets a new number, retrieving it from 'sale.order' sequence.
