Odoo uses the same number sequence for quotes and sales orders (i.e. a quote is created with a number, then that number is also used when a sales order is created).

As we send out more quotes than we receive sales orders, I'd like to have separate sequences for quotes and sales orders. 

For example, a quote could be numbered 61221, 61222, 61223, etc. but say only one of those gets turned into a sales order. I don't want there to be gaps in the sales order numbers, so I'd like the one that gets turned into a sales order to be 84357. The next sales order would be 84358 (regardless of which quote it came from).

I know I can go into Settings > Technical > Sequences & Identifiers > Sequences, but the only one there is Sales Order. There is no sequence listed for quotes. Is it possible to have completely separate sequences for quotes and sales orders?

Hi,

You may have to do some customization in the system to make it possible. Also seems there are apps in the odoo store, which providing this functionality.


If you are customizing yourself, you may need to do as follows

* create a new field to which quotation number can be generated

* create a new sequence for quotation number generation
* and stop the logic of generating existing number on creation of the record

* and it should be on confirming the quotation.


Thanks

Thank you. I will try the customization recommendations you made.

I am using the Enterprise version of Odoo, which I was told does not allow the use of apps from the Odoo Store.

Did you solve it? If so, could you please elaborate on how it was customized to make it work as you described?
