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 create done 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.
