There is a further layer of error with how the application works at present. Work through the following - multicompany Coy A & Coy B, brand new stock item but shared across the group.
Coy A buys 10 @ $100 and receipts. Accounting entries DR Finished Goods 1000 DR GST 150 CR Creditors 1150 SOH 10 @ 100.00 = $1000 All correct. Coy B buys 1 @ $200 and receipts Accounting entries DR Finished Goods 200 DR GST 30 CR Creditors 230 SOH = 1 @ $200 All correct within this company Now log on as parent - group position is Balance Sheet: Finished Goods 1200 GST 180 Creditors 1380 Inventory SOH = 11 @ $200 $2200 (********* no longer agrees with balance sheet) Log on as Coy 1 user and process a sale for 1 unit @ $300. Entries created: DR Debtors 345 DR Cost of Sales 200 (************* at the wrong rate!) CR GST 45 CR Finished Goods 200 (************* at the wrong rate) CR Sales 300 Coy1 SOH now 9 @ $200 which does not agree to balance sheet. The idea of having to duplicate ~20,000 products across 12 companies within a group seems to me to be fraught with issues (not to mention the workload). Is there a proposed timeline on fixing this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778170 Title: product - average and standard cost not multicompany Status in OpenERP Modules (addons): Triaged Bug description: To reproduce, create some companys say HQ with child Company A and Company B create a product which is visible in all company at Average cost Receive product in Company A. Average Cost updates correctly in Company A. but it also updates Company B and parent. For standard price just go to company B and change a standard price product and it will propagate throughout Surely in a multicompany environment we must allow for different cost prices for each company. And if using average cost it is clearly incorrect to take the average cost of another company (or the combined results) as your own average cost. As a side note we must also allow different companies to use different cost methods for the same products. Additionally it violates all sorts of security rules - a company B user should not be able to affect the accounts of Company A and these 2 fields determine the values for a very large number of journal entries.
