Invoice Numbers not be created?

invoice validate sequence

12 Replies

Nicholas Coad

I have a multi-company environment. For whatever reason, invoice sequence numbers are not be created. I have no idea why. It worked for my first 2 trials, but now I'm getting an error on validating invoices "Constraint Error Invoice Number must be unique per Company!"

The reason why it's not unique is because the invoice number its trying to use is just a slash "/".

I am using a user that is specific to that company. All my Warehouses, Locations, Accounts and Journals are specific to that company as well.

I have the same problem. I am using VersiÃ³n 7.0-20130510-231240. I tried to cancel and re-validate an invoice which had a mistake and when revalidating I got the "Constraint Error Invoice Number must be unique per Company!" error. After that I am unable to make even a new invoice without getting the error. The next sequence number is ok and I have even tried with a far ahead number so I am sure there is no invoice with that number.

My solution was to review every single accounting type setting by comparing it to a functional company. Fix any errors and then go into the database and manually delete the records without proper invoice numbers. It started working at that point.

Art

I'm having the same problem when I try to validate vendor bills in the accounting module. I'm not sure I understand the way you solve your problem. Could you please provide more details on it?

Art

Does anybody have this error in Odoo 10? It won't validate vendor bill because of this error. Even if I don't put the invoice number I still get this error.

Yogesh

Hi, that error says combination of (number, company_id, journal_id, type) should be unique.
Odoo automatically creates sequence for each new journal, later on posting entries in journal this sequence is read from this field, select correct sequence on journal of invoice should fix this. Probably would require to delete or edit name of move_id(Journal Entry) to get it working.

explanar

For me in Odoo V8 the error occured after having accidentially typed in "0" at the tax field of an invoice row and confirmed it by [Enter].

This made the system generate a VAT-Type named "0" without further configuration.

After this accidential happening, the error occurs at every invoice-confirmation.
Even after deleting the wrong VAT-Type "0" the error is still alive.

After a reboot of the Odoo-hosting machine / ubuntu 14.04-64 still no change:

No real help, but does this same behaviour occur for another user with the same company?

If somehow the user does not have access to ir.sequence, this issue might occur.

Do you have any custom modules installed, that is, either own made or downloaded from internet?

Nicholas Coad

Autorius

Hello, I do have a few custom modules, but none have anything to do with the invoicing system which is stock. My modules are separate and self-contained with an exception to an addition to the Product module (additional attributes, nothing fancy).

Nicholas Coad

Autorius

The weird thing is that it used to work, so its something that I managed to break in the configuration, probably something in the accounting, but I cannot find it...

patrick

Was the setup originally multi company? Maybe if you specify the starting number for the invoices, it might work (Settings -> Sequences -> Sequences -> Debiteuren (or Debtors??) -> Edit -> change the value behind 'Next Number'

Nicholas Coad

Autorius

Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm still stuck. Please take a look at the following images. Yes, it was originally set up as multicompany from day one.
