Thanks for your response. But that's not what I want.

My question might be vague. I want to manually give the Quote number or edit the one automatically generated. I'm not looking for changing Sequence prefix/suffix changes here.

And yes, I can duplicate and the duplicated one can be considered as Sales Order. That solves half of the issue. :) Thanks.

ok. For that u need to make a very small change in python code.

U can do this in 2ways-> 1. using Openerp GUI developer mode

or 2. go to your openerp addons->sale->sale.py-> class sale.order ->columns-> now edit your code-> 'name': fields.char('Order Reference', size=64, required=True)

that its!!! Now u can manually provide your refernce number at any stage of sale order flow.

Great. Thanks a lot Shashank. I'll need more help and you seem to be the exact person I would want to ask. :)

sure. Anytime.

Hi, thank you for this shashank verma !

Is there a way to display an error message if there is another Sales Order already named like this?
