Hi,

In Odoo’s Chart of Accounts (COA), the account codes (series) don’t always follow a strict numeric sequence like 1, 2, 3, … because they are designed around accounting standards (often IFRS or a country-specific localization template).

For example:

    1xxx = Assets

    2xxx = Liabilities

    3xxx = Equity

    4xxx = Income

    5xxx = Cost of Sales

    6xxx = Operating Expenses

    7xxx = Other Revenues/Expenses

    9xxx = Off-balance accounts

The 8xxx series is sometimes intentionally left unused or reserved depending on the localization. In some accounting standards, it’s used for special accounts like internal reporting, depreciation adjustments, or management/statistical accounts, but in Odoo’s default templates it’s often skipped to keep things clean.

- If you see that series 8 is skipped, it’s not a bug.

It’s by design, based on the accounting template Odoo provides for your country’s localization.

Hope it helps

Hello Michelle,

  The absence of series code# 8 in your Chart of Accounts (COA) could be due to a variety of reasons, including but not limited to regional or sector-specific accounting practices, or simply a customization in your Odoo setup. Here's how you can address this:

  1. Verify your accounting package: Ensure that the accounting package you've installed is intended for your region and industry. Different packages may have variations in account numbering.

  2. Check for customizations: If your Odoo setup has been customized, it's possible that the series code# 8 was intentionally omitted or used for a specific purpose not visible in the general COA view.

  3. Add or modify accounts manually: If you need the series code# 8 for your operations, you can manually add or modify accounts in the COA. Go to Accounting > Configuration > Chart of Accounts, and use the "Create" button to add a new account or select an existing account to modify its code.
