Accounting Invoice OCR OCA Name Sequence Bridge

Keep OCR-created vendor bills compatible with OCA account move name sequences.

Developed by 2BIT Digital GmbH — your Swiss Odoo partner for payroll, accounting, eCommerce, manufacturing and custom business solutions.

Overview

Companies using both OCR vendor bill creation and OCA move name sequencing can keep invoice naming aligned with the sequence-based flow.

The bridge delegates account move name computation to the sequence method expected by the OCA module.

Business Impact

Why You Need This Module

OCR-created bills should follow the same numbering behavior as manually created accounting documents in databases using OCA name sequences.

This bridge avoids a mismatch between the OCR module and sequence-based account move naming.

Which Problems It Solves

• Different naming behavior between OCR bills and sequence-managed accounting entries
• Manual correction of move names after OCR creation
• Compatibility gap between OCR processing and OCA account_move_name_sequence

Key Benefits For Accounting Teams

• Consistent naming for OCR-created vendor bills
• Compatibility with OCA account move sequence workflows
• Small bridge module with no additional user steps

How It Works

• Install the OCR module together with OCA account_move_name_sequence.
• The bridge overrides account move name computation to use the sequence-based method.
• Users continue creating and reviewing OCR bills through the normal OCR workflow.
