The number the tax authority gave the invoice
A legal number alongside Odoo's sequence, tracked - and a manager-only action that promotes it to the invoice's number.

At a Glance
The facts of Legal Invoice Number, version 0.1.2, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Two screens.
On the invoice
Recorded as its own field, tracked, and independent of Odoo's sequence until you decide otherwise.
Across the invoices
Nothing changes in how invoices are made, posted or paid.
What You Get
A Legal Number on invoices and receipts, tracked
An Old Number kept when the legal number is promoted
The payment reference updated with it, so the customer pays against the right number
The action restricted to accounting managers
A chatter note recording the change on every invoice it touches
Odoo's own sequence left intact

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
An e-invoicing integration issues it; this records it.
Renumbering a posted invoice is an accounting decision, not an automation.
Journal entries, payments and reports keep their own references.
A replacement is a new document, as the law usually requires.
