You can only resequence items from the same journal

Error message

You can only resequence items from the same journal

What it means

account.resequence.wizard.default_get refuses to resequence entries coming from more than one journal (len(active_move_ids.journal_id) > 1). Resequencing renumbers entries within a journal's sequence; mixing journals would make the resulting numbering ambiguous, so the wizard blocks it immediately.

Solutions

1. Filter the entries list by a single journal before launching Resequence.
2. Run the wizard once per journal: split the selection on move.journal_id.
3. In code, pre-group: for journal, moves in groupby(moves, key=lambda m: m.journal_id) and call the wizard per group.

Example fix

# before
self.env['account.resequence.wizard'].with_context(
    active_model='account.move', active_ids=moves.ids,  # multi-journal
).create({})

# after
from itertools import groupby
for journal, grouped in groupby(moves.sorted('journal_id'), key=lambda m: m.journal_id):
    self.env['account.resequence.wizard'].with_context(
        active_model='account.move',
        active_ids=self.env['account.move'].concat(*grouped).ids,
    ).create({})

if len(moves.journal_id) > 1:
    moves = moves.filtered(lambda m: m.journal_id == moves[0].journal_id)  # or split per journal

When it happens

Trigger: Selecting account.move records from two different journals (e.g. two customer invoices journals, or an invoice journal and a bank journal) and running the 'Resequence' action; the check uses the journals of all active_ids passed in context.

Common situations: Multi-journal list views where the journal column isn't visible; users selecting by date range across journals; automation passing unfiltered move ids to the wizard.
