How can I create a cron job that is executed every end of the year, and all it does is increment a field by 1. That's all

Thanks.

You can do this by creating a scheduler, go to Settings > Technical > Scheduler > Scheduled Actions

Check the existing scheduled actions to get an idea how it works.

To increment either do it by code with a read/increment/write operation, or use a sequence.

I did that, but how do I do the increment? Could you please give me an example code that shows you getting a value from a column and incrementing it.

Get the value, increment it with python and then save it again.

You can find the functions to read and write in this page https://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/developer/03_modules_2/

The relevant functions are browse() and write()

A good example is the currency_rate_update module, which runs the "run_currency_update" function once a day. Download that module and look at the code. You'll have to 1. write a python module 2. install your module 3. create a new Scheduled Action referencing your new module and the Increment function (method) you want to run. You should be 90% of the way there by referencing the currency_rate_update module (I think you really only need to reference the class Currency_rate_update, you can probably ignore the rest)
