No it will not work at the moment, the system will consider that the document
already exists and ignore it, as you've noticed. This might be supported in the
future, but for the moment you will need real separate databases.

Technically, it will require more than just caring for an extra company_id
field, because the whole system for identifying documents cross-database is
relying on the uniqueness of the EDI ID everywhere. In a single multi-company
DB we cannot make a unique ID refer to 2 different records: one source (e.g.
Sale Order) and one destination (Purchase Order).
