Configuration

There are two ways you can configure this module through the use of System Parameter product_lot_sequence.policy:

• “product”: This is the default behaviour once you install this module. It’s the same than in previous Odoo versions with this module installed, i.e. it allows to define a dedicated sequence on each product.
• “global”: This was the default behaviour from previous Odoo versions when this module was not installed, i.e it will always use the same global sequence for every product.

If any other value is used for this System Parameter, then you will get the default behaviour from odoo 15.0 which will look for the last lot number for each product and will increment it.

Usage

To use this module:

• Go to Inventory > Products
• Under the inventory tab when tracking set to lots 4 new fields will be displayed
• If a sequence is not selected, a new one using the prefix, padding and next number fields, will be created
• Go to Inventory > Lot/Serial Numbers
• Create new Lot/Serial number
• Select the product and the next number of the product sequence will be automatically proposed

Known issues / Roadmap

• There is an issue with the use of ir.sequence with the newer version of Odoo.

Mostly, when opening the detailed operations of an assigned picking for a product tracked by serial numbers, Odoo systematically calls _get_next_serial even if there is not any serial number to generate. Moreover, the widget allowing to generate the serial numbers will not call the sequence but only increment the number according to the next serial, potentially leading to a sequence that is not in sync anymore with the created serial numbers.
