To do so, Odoo can use the **SHA-256 algorithm** to create a unique fingerprint for each posted
entry. This fingerprint is called a hash. The hash is generated by taking an entry's essential data
(the values of the `date`, `journal_id`, `company_id`, `debit`, `credit`, `account_id`, and
(the values of the `name`, `date`, `journal_id`, `company_id`, `debit`, `credit`, `account_id`, and

outputs a fixed size (256-bit) string of characters. The hash function is deterministic (:dfn:`the

For sale journals, the entry is automatically locked once it is sent. You can also click on the
button :guilabel:`Lock` on the invoice to lock it without sending it. For sale, purchase, and
general journals, the locking is always done manually using the same button.
To compute the hash of an entry, Odoo retrieves the predecessor entries of the chain (i.e., the
entries with the same sequence prefix) and hashes them in a continuous way from the last hashed
entry to the new entry to hash.

a hash (V) or not (X). The coverage column tells you when a journal's posted entries started being
locked.
