I want to make an OpenERP-module which install my configuration. I'am able to add records to the database tables using XML-files in the datasection of __openererp___. However I want to change the "Your Company" record in the res_company table instead of add an new one to it. How can this be accomplisched using a XML-file ?

To update the record of company using the demo data you need to write a record in xml file like,
<record id="base.main_company" model="res.company">
<field name="name">Your New Company</field>
<field name="partner_id" ref="main_partner"/>
<field name="rml_header1">Your New Company Tagline</field>
<field name="currency_id" ref="base.EUR"/>
</record>
it will change the default company information while installing your customer module.
It seems that this technique does not work anymore in version 8.0. It seems that when you have a noupdate=1 in the module creating the data originally, it means "no update AND NO OVERRIDE".
@Trobz, Jean-Charles Drubay Did you find a way in v8 ? My question here: https://www.odoo.com/fr_FR/forum/help-1/question/how-to-override-your-company-data-through-a-custom-module-in-v8-87510
Thanks for your answer. Now the record in the table res_company get updated nicely.
Only the line <field name="partner_id" ref="main_partner"/> seems redundant. In my case it generates an error since the id "main_partner" was not defined in the XML-file. However the corresponding record in the res_partner table got updated without that line as well. So is there a real need for it ?
Hendrik
Well, he forgot: base.main_partner About if it's neccesary or not it depends on you, because your res.partner it's going to stay with Your Company if I'm not wrong. But you can try it
I have done some testing. It went oke because I started with a fresh database with only one company record and one partner record. So the field partner_id in the company record already had the correct value since there was only one record to choose from anyway :-) So it will be definitely better to explicitly set it in the xml-file.
