Multiple customers on Purchase Orders
Hello,
I am dealing with a scenario where 2 sister companies share parts of their operations and make purchase orders together with split ratio between them. The way they do it is 3-party agreements, where there are 2 customers and 1 supplier and for purchase orders there are instructions for suppliers on how to split the invoicing (i.e. the supplier sends 2 separate invoices - each to individual company according to the split ratio).
Anyone faced anything similar? I am thinking of using 2 companies to model it and tinkering with visibility in each according to split. Because where there is a split, they want to see the document in both. Where there is not (it belongs to single company), should ony be visible there. However how to model in a best way that there should be 2 customers (maybe more for future extensions) on each document?
Any advice is highly welcome. Thank you very much.
Best regards

Re: Multiple customers on Purchase Orders
Thanks Holger,
the idea of "consortium" instead of trying to put multiple customers into PO is a good one and also naturally extendable beyond more than 2 companies.
Best regards
Radovan

I have a customer with a similar requirement the other way around, where multiple suppliers invoice the same customer: https://github.com/tosccolors/vertical-professional-services/tree/16.0/ ps_partner_multi_relation They solved this by defining a partner relation "consortium", and every time an invoice for a consortium partner is posted, this invoice is split by the weights ("distribution key") on the consortium relation and new invoices are created for the involved partners. This concept should extend quite naturally to the purchase side, where you split the supplier invoices and deliveries according to the distribution key on the partner relation. -- Your partner for the hard Odoo problems https://hunki-enterprises.com
