This module sets the default company taxes for all the existing companies when a product is created. It also adds a button in product view to set all the taxes from other companies matching them by tax code. If a default tax is propagated, it will be propagated as the default tax in all companies, even if they are from different countries.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Keeps product sales and purchase taxes consistent across all companies. When a product is created, its taxes are automatically copied to every company, and a button lets you re-align taxes after changes.

This module helps companies that run several Odoo companies keep the same sales and purchase taxes on their products.

  • When a new product is created, the module automatically fills in the sales taxes and purchase taxes for every other company, matching them by tax name.
  • On the product form, a "Propagate Taxes" button appears when the product has different taxes across companies. Pressing it re-aligns the taxes of all companies with the taxes used in the current company.
  • The same action is available from the product list view, so you can update several products at once.
  • A computed indicator, "Has divergent cross-company taxes", tells you whether a product's taxes differ between companies. It only applies to products shared by all companies (no specific company set).
  • The button is only visible to accounting users.

The module works on product.template and product.product and adds a button to the product form inherited from the accounting module. It does not create new menus or reports.
