Solution

  • This number is generated from the JavaScript file located at addons/point_of_sale/static/src/js/models.js

    In this file you can find one model names "Order", inside this model one method is there which is responsible for this sequence. Please have a look below for that method.

    generateUniqueId: function() {
       function zero_pad(num,size){
            var s = ""+num;
            while (s.length < size) {
                s = "0" + s;
            }
            return s;
        }
        return zero_pad(this.pos.pos_session.id,5) +'-'+
               zero_pad(this.pos.pos_session.login_number,3) +'-'+
               zero_pad(this.sequence_number,4);
},
