01 — WHAT THIS MODULE DOES

Multi Company Transfer

Transfer inventory between companies in Odoo with a single action — no manual coordination required

Businesses operating multiple companies in Odoo frequently need to move inventory between warehouses of different companies. Standard Odoo does not provide a native way to handle this — users must manually create separate delivery and receipt transfers for each company, coordinate the stock movements independently, and ensure quantities match on both ends.

Multi Company Transfer solves this completely. It introduces a dedicated transfer form where you select the source company, destination company, source location, and destination location — then add the products and quantities you want to move. With a single click on CREATE, the module automatically generates both the OUT transfer for the source company and the IN transfer for the destination company simultaneously.

For example, if you need to transfer 5 units of Customizable Desk from My Company (San Francisco) to My Company (Chicago), simply fill the form, click Check Availability to confirm stock is reserved, then click CREATE. Two transfers are instantly created — one outgoing from San Francisco and one incoming for Chicago — and both are validated automatically.

Once the transfers are validated, stock is deducted from the source company warehouse and added to the destination company warehouse in real time. The product On Hand quantity updates automatically reflecting the transferred quantities accurately across both companies.

This module is ideal for multi-branch businesses, holding companies, distribution networks, franchise operations, and any Odoo setup requiring regular inter-company inventory movements with accuracy and minimal manual effort.

Key Features
Everything you need to manage inter-company stock transfers in Odoo

Single Form Transfer

Auto Transfer Creation

One click on CREATE automatically generates both the OUT transfer for source and IN transfer for destination company.

Check Availability

Verify and reserve stock from the source company warehouse before creating the transfer.

Multi Company Support

Supports transfers between any two companies configured in Odoo — with full location and warehouse flexibility.

Real-Time Stock Update

Stock is deducted from source and added to destination company automatically after transfer validation.

Security Group Access

Access is controlled via a dedicated Multi Transfer security group — only authorized users can create inter-company transfers.

See It in Action

A visual walkthrough from granting access to confirming stock has moved between companies.

Step 1
1

Assign User to Multi Transfer Security Group

Go to Settings → Users & Companies → Groups. Search for the Technical / Multi Transfer group and open it. In the Users tab, click Add a line and add the user who needs access to the Multi Company Transfer feature.

Settings → Groups → Technical / Multi Transfer → Add User

2

Access Multi Company Transfer Menu

Go to Inventory and click on the Multi Company Transfer menu in the top navigation bar. You will see the list of all existing inter-company transfers with From Company, To Company, Source Location, and Destination Location columns.

Step 2
Step 3
3

Create New Transfer & Fill Details

Click New to open a new transfer form, then fill in the From Company (source company), Source Location (source warehouse), To Company (destination company), and Destination Location (destination warehouse).

New Transfer → From Company, Source Location, To Company, Destination Location

4

Add Products & Click Check Availability

In the Stock Lines tab, click Add a line to add the product and quantity to transfer. Then click Check Availability to verify stock and reserve the quantity — the Quantity Reserved column updates to confirm.

Step 4
Step 5
5

Click CREATE — 2 Transfers Generated

Click the CREATE button. The module automatically creates two stock transfers simultaneously. The Transfer (2) button at the top confirms both transfers — one OUT for the source company and one IN for the destination company.

Click CREATE → Transfer (2) created automatically

6

Both Transfers Validated — Done

Both the IN transfer (destination company) and OUT transfer (source company) are automatically validated. Click Transfer (2) to see both — each one shows a green Done badge.

Transfer (2) list → Both IN and OUT show Done status

Step 6
Step 7
7

Transfer Record Status — Done

The Multi Company Transfer record itself moves to the Done state, highlighted in the status bar — confirming the entire inter-company movement has completed successfully.

Multi Company Transfer record → Status bar → Done

8

Stock Updated — On Hand Reduced

The product On Hand quantity is automatically updated once the transfer completes — stock is deducted from the source company and the product now reflects the correct, reduced quantity at the destination.

Product On Hand updated → reduced quantity confirmed

What does the Multi Company Transfer module do?↓
It allows you to transfer stock between two different Odoo companies in a single workflow. You select the source company, destination company, locations, products, and quantities — the module then automatically creates the corresponding outgoing and incoming stock pickings for each company via an inter-company transit location.
How does the transfer flow work between two companies?↓
The module creates two stock pickings automatically:

1. Outgoing picking — from the source company's location to the inter-company transit location.
2. Incoming picking — from the transit location to the destination company's location.

Both pickings are linked by the same transfer reference so you can track them together.
What is the inter-company transit location?↓
It is Odoo's built-in Inter-Company virtual location (stock.stock_location_inter_company) used as a staging point between the two companies. Stock moves out of Company A into this transit location, and then moves from the transit location into Company B — ensuring clean accounting separation between entities.
Can I check stock availability before creating the transfer?↓
Yes. The Check Availability button verifies that each product has sufficient stock in the source location before the transfer is created. If any product falls short of the requested quantity, you will see a clear error message with the product name — preventing the creation of transfers that cannot be fulfilled.
How do I process a return for a multi-company transfer?↓
The module includes a Return Picking feature. From the validated stock picking, you can trigger a return that creates a new picking moving goods back from Company B's location to Company A's stock location — reversing the original transfer cleanly without manual intervention.
