Odoo [Errno 98] Address already in use

Sometimes you may encounter an error in development or production [Errno 98] Address already in use.
This error is due to openerp-service or some other service already use port defined in your Odoo config.
You could try to change the port 8069 to any other port  and restart the server but that’s not the right way.

Just apply the command

sudo ps aux | grep openerp

which will show you the port on which openerp server is in running state.
Then kill the specific process.

sudo kill -9 id

For example sudo kill -9 999

Restart odoo server and that’s it.

 

Odoo thousands separator

How to define Odoo thousands separator?

Accountants are used to the thousands separator e.g. 100000.00 EUR is represented as 100,000.00.
The setup of the thousands separator is located under:
Settings > Translations > Languages.

Odoo thousands separator

For each language, you can set a different separator format.

3 options modify the format of a number:

Separator format: number of digits between separators

Some new features that have been under developement latetly will be in
enterprise such as electronic signature, integration with shipping providers.
