Hello guys, As part of the native multi-companies support, in OpenERP v6, the sale.order object now has a company_id field. The trouble is that this is somewhat redundant with the existing mandatory shop_id field which also determine a company_id field (a shop belongs to a company).
Isn't that redundant? If not which one is supposed to be predominant (supposing they can be different then) for the picking? For the invoice company_id? Supposing the redundancy is assumed (then in theory it sucks), wouldn't we need a constraint then for the two company_id field point to the same company id? Wouldn't it be possible to define a related field through the shop_id instead to remove the redundancy? My understanding is that OpenERP is generalizing the company_id field in a tacit contract so that access rules on companies can be generalized. However, I'm not sure if it's done properly for the sale.order object currently. I'm asking that while I try to provide a proper patch for https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626861 (even worse: the company for the subsequent picking/invoice is taken from the currently logged user in context no matter what the two other company_id fields are; similar issues may exist at other places) as I'm testing the v6 multi-companies features for a customer.
