AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0

Lets you assign a company to product categories so each company sees only its own categories (plus shared ones), and prevents mixing categories from different companies.

This module makes product categories company-specific. On the product category form you now see a Company field next to the parent category, and the parent category dropdown only offers categories that are shared or belong to the same company.

When you pick a category on a product, the list is filtered the same way: only shared categories or categories of the current company are selectable.

Business rules are enforced automatically: - A category and its parent category must belong to the same company, otherwise Odoo blocks the save with an error. - If a category belongs to a company, all its child categories must either belong to the same company or be shared; otherwise Odoo refuses to save and tells you which child is the problem.

A security rule limits which categories each user can see: users only see categories that are shared or belong to companies they are allowed to work in. This keeps the category list clean in multi-company setups.

The module touches the product category and product template screens and the product category access rules.
