Hello,

can we expect EDI to work within a Multicompany Environment or Intercompany (esp. Accounting) Features anytime soon?
We really have many Leads who require this!

Is it on the Roadmap of OpenERP or will it either way have to be implemented by a Partner?

with kind regards,
conexus

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).
