I have a situation where three companies need to share the same products. Each company has it's own procurement method for the product and it's own stock levels. I would like to avoid having to maintain three separate, almost identical, product lists.
An example:
For a product [A]
- Company 1 makes [A] from raw material
- Company 2 buys [A] from Company 1 and uses it in manufacture.
The product is always the 'same' product (so should have same ID) but it can be used differently in different companies.
I have looked at product_multi_company, however this seems to be only for the prices.
How do I go about configuring this?
(OE v7, Ubuntu 12.04)
I'm also interested on see how this scenario can be ported to OpenERP, I'm confronting same issues here and I don't know what else to try.
+1 .. also interested.

Hello all. If anyone has implemented this, I'd be curious to read the solution. I don't really need it for myself but I'm just curious so don't go out of your way if you're too busy to post. I'm sure it has to be a custom module especially since the Supply Method is a single entity and you can't have buy and manufacture on the same product. I would try to make the supply method field a many2one option so I can set both By and Manufacture, then when creating the SO from company 2 I would use the buy method and when manufacturing with Company 1 I would (obviously) use the manufacture method.
