AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets you change the company on a draft journal entry or invoice. The company field becomes editable while the document is still in draft, and related journals and lines are updated automatically.

This module makes the company field on accounting documents editable, but only while the document is still in draft. Once the document is posted, the company can no longer be changed.

When you pick a different company on a draft entry, Odoo automatically switches the journal to a suitable journal belonging to that company. For invoices and similar documents, the lines are also updated to the new company, and the accounts and taxes on those lines are recalculated so they match the new company. For other types of entries, the lines are cleared instead.

The list of companies you can choose from is limited to the companies you are currently allowed to work with, so you cannot move a document to a company you do not have access to. Payment terms and partner bank details are also recalculated using the new company's settings.

The change is available directly on the standard accounting document form, on the company field. This affects journal entries and invoices (account.move).
