we can add sequence in odoo 14 by following the example bellow 

 

now let us say that we have objects by the name "shilal.object" and we want to 

create sequence field for this objects as "S_O000001" , so to do that 

1/ add char field in this model as 

 

sequence  = fields.Char(string="Sequence")

 

 

2/add the function that will generate the value for this field as bellow

 

@api.model
    def create(self, vals):
       if vals.get('sequence', 'New') == 'New':
           vals['sequence'] = self.env['ir.sequence'].next_by_code(
               'shilal.object') or 'New'
       result = super(ShilalObject, self).create(vals)
       return result

3/ create the xml code for this sequence as bellow

<record id="shilal_object_sequence" model="ir.sequence"> // define sequence record
          <field name="name">Shilal Object Sequence</field> // define sequence name
          <field name="prefix">s_O </field>

object_a_id = fields.Many2one('object.a', string="Object A")

 

- model "object.a" has two form view with ids "object_a_form_view_1" and "object_a_form_view_2" and "object_a_form_view_1" id the default view and we want to show the other view from object_a_id field , so we can do it by add the field in the xml file as bellow

many2one field domain from function

 ODOO

 odoo 14

 

in this blog we will explain how we can define domain for Many2one field in odoo 14 , so let us start 

 

First we have "object.a" model which is contain Many2many in which we will add many users , as bellow

user_ids = fields.Many2many('res.users', string="Users")

Second we have "object.b" model , which we have user_id field that contain the current user , and object_a_id which is Many2one field from object "A" , as bellow

user_id = fields.Many2one('res.users', string='Created By', default=lambda self: self.env.user, readonly=True)

object_a_id = fields.Many2one('object.a', string="A")

and we need to make domain over object_a_id field to show only the records from object A that the current user is involved in the user_ids field 

....

To make the domain we have to add function as bellow  

    @api.onchange('some_field_in_B_object')
    def _get_object_b_ids(self):
        """
        function to get the A records for the current user
        """
        object_a_ids = self.env['object.a'].search([])
        ids_lis = []
        domain = [('id','=', -1)]

        for rec in object_a_ids:
            for line in rec.user_ids:
                if self.user_id == line:
                    ids_lis.append(rec.id)
        res = {}
        res['domain'] = {'object_a_id': [('id', 'in', ids_lis)]}
        return res
