auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0Adds an Operating Unit to purchase requisitions (tenders) so each requisition and its lines belong to one operating unit, and only users with access to that unit can see them.
This module links purchase requisitions (also called tenders) to Operating Units, which are used to separate business activity by branch or division.
- On a purchase requisition you get a new Operating Unit field, shown next to the Company. It is filled in automatically with the operating unit of the logged-in user and can be changed while the requisition is still in draft.
- A Picking Type field is added and is required. It only accepts incoming picking types, and it is pre-filled with an incoming picking type whose warehouse belongs to the same operating unit as the user.
- Two checks block saving: the company of the requisition must match the company of the operating unit, and the warehouse of the selected picking type must belong to the same operating unit as the requisition. If you change the operating unit and no incoming warehouse exists for it, an error is shown.
- Requisition lines automatically inherit the operating unit of their requisition.
- Access rules restrict reading requisitions and requisition lines to those with no operating unit or with an operating unit the user is allowed to use.
- When a purchase order is created from a requisition, the operating unit is copied onto the purchase order.
- In the requisition list and form you can see the operating unit, and in the search filters you can group requisitions by operating unit.
