I am looking for a way to simplify purchases between my companies. I want to automatically generate a vendor bill (purchase invoice) when moving product between companies. For example, company A invoices company B for some products. Company B automatically creates the vendor bill that mirrors the sale from company A. 

This used to be easy in Odoo 13. Is there a new method for Odoo 15?

Hi Taylor,

This is still possible  in V15. You need to go to the General Settings and under the "Companies" section, enable inter-company transactions. Since this setting has a building icon next to it, this means that this is a setting that must be enabled and defined per company. In your use case, you will need to go to Company B, enable the feature, and select "Synchronize invoices/bills".

Thank you. I see if I create a vendor bill, I get a corresponding invoice in the other company. Is it possible to reverse that process. I want to have a vendor bill automatically generate in company B whenever an invoice is sent from company A.

Note, I do not have the Purchase application installed yet. Is that necessary for a invoice to issue a vendor bill in the other company? The description in settings seems to convey that it should go both ways.

Hi Taylor,

Create an invoice in Company A with Company B set as the customer and the vendor bill should be created in Company B. The Purchase app would be necessary if the process were to sync sales orders & purchase orders.

Hi Andrea,

It is not working to go directly from an invoice to a vendor bill. But thanks for confirming about needing the purchase app for SO/PO's to sync. That makes sense. I'll keep trying to get the invoice to generate a vendor bill.
