The problem
Odoo offers a great module named Sale Purchase that supports generating a purchase order upon validating a sales order based on enabling the Subcontract Service option on the product form.
However, automatic purchase is not supported in the multi-companies environment. In other words, when the Subcontract Service is enabled for a service product, this policy is applied for all companies that are available in the database. This is not something that everyone wants.
Example:
- Company A sells Service X to its customer with SO0001, where the Product X is configured as follows:
- Product type: Service;
- Subcontract Service: Yes;
- Vendor: Company B, which is another company in the same database.
- Upon the SO0001 confirmation in the Sales app, a Purchase Order to the vendor of Company A is automatically created (e.g. PO0001).
- In Company B, to sell Service X, a sales user needs to create another sales order (e.g. SO0002).
- When the SO0002 is confirmed, a Purchase Order of Company B to another vendor is created since the Service X of Company B is also configured with Subcontract Service. This is not something that Company B wants and is a big problem.
Solution
This module makes the automatic purchasing work independently for each company in the multi-companies environment. In other words, Company A can select the Subcontract Service on their service-typed product while Company B doesn't have to.
