Description
By default, Odoo restricts product visibility to either a single company or all companies in a multi-company environment. This module introduces a more flexible approach, allowing users to select which companies can access each product. With this customization, businesses can:
- Assign products to specific companies instead of a blanket "all or one" approach.
- Prevent unintended product exposure to companies that don't need access.
- Enable a company-specific catalog, ensuring a more relevant product selection per company.
- Improve control over multi-company operations, optimizing business workflows.
Installation Notes

â¹ï¸ Note: The module now handles both company assignments and pricing automatically:
- Products with specific company assignments will have prices set for those companies only
- Products without company assignments will have the same price applied to all companies
- Existing prices are preserved and intelligently distributed based on company visibility
- No manual intervention needed during price migration
â Automatic Features:
- Company assignments are preserved and migrated
- Price fields are intelligently converted with company-specific handling
- Smart price distribution based on product visibility settings
- Dynamic currency updates when switching between companies
- Safe rollback in case of installation issues
Usage Guide
How to Select Multiple Companies
Navigate to your products and easily assign them to multiple companies. You can select two, three, or more companies as needed. The product's price will be automatically handled based on the company assignments:
- If you assign specific companies: The price will be set for those companies only
- If you don't assign any companies: The same price will be applied to all companies
- Each company can have its own currency, which is automatically handled
Known Issues & Future Improvements
- Barcode App Company Selection: There is a known issue where the barcode app's frontend uses its own cache to select the company instead of the Odoo company selector. As a workaround, add all products to the first company and give all users access to the first company in the list, so the barcode app can access all products. This bug will be addressed in future upgrades to this module by modifying the barcode logic.
