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?

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.
