AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets you set up two-way stock transfers between companies in Odoo, choosing which operation types are used for outgoing and incoming moves and how quantities, packages and lot numbers are handled.

This module extends the intercompany stock features so that transfers can flow in both directions between companies, not just one way.

In the Inventory settings you get new options, per company: - Intercompany Operation Type OUT: the operation type used when your company sends stock to another company. - Intercompany Operation Type IN: the operation type used when your company receives stock from another company. - Set Qty Done: automatically copies the done quantity from the counterpart transfer. - Move Packages: keeps the same packages when moving stock between companies. - Mirror Lots/Serial Numbers: creates lots or serial numbers with the same names in the destination company.

When a transfer is validated, Odoo checks whether the operation type matches the outgoing type configured for your company and whether the other company has an incoming type set. Only then is a counterpart transfer created in the other company. The counterpart transfer uses the destination location of the incoming operation type, and its partner is set to the sending company's partner.

The module touches res.company, res.config.settings and stock.picking. Settings are company-specific, so each company can have its own configuration.
