Hi, I have following question regarding inter-company transactions on KIT products:

- how to properly configure inter-company sale of KITs, so buing company is invoiced for kit, not components?

Context:

I have two companies in Odoo

- Company A that sells products to customers

- Company B that supplies products to company A

In following scenario, I have an issue with delivery / receipt of a products. Company A sells product, i.e. "Cozy garden corner" to customer. It contains small table, deck chair and umbrella, all shipped together. It's sold as one product, invoiced as one, and delivered as one. Company A, after receiving order from customer, fulfills it from Company B. So company A orders "Cozy garden corner" from company B, receive it, and ship it to customer.

On company B "Cozy garden corner" is a KIT, assembled from table, deck chair and umbrella. This way warehouse know which products to collect, pack together and ship to company A. Then Company B invoice Company A for 'Cozy garden corner' and the same is on PO etc.

The problem is, since for Company B "Cozy garden corner" is a KIT, I have three products on delivery order, resulting in three different products moved to Inter-company transit location. And Company A expects it to be one product 'Cozy garden corner', which never show up in transit location, hence no possibility to receive it correctly.

If I make it KIT in company A, then "Cozy Garden Corner" is exploded into components in company A and PO for components is created instead of single product. Invoice from company B is then for components instead of Cozy Garden Corner.

How to configure it, so this  flow makes sense? Is it even possible? Maybe we need customization that converts kit components into single product from Company A perspective or smth? Or customization that Company A will also see Cozy Garden Corner as KIT but won't explode it in Purchase Order?

We also thought about using Manufacturing Order for packing - so in company B we won't use KIT, just standard BOM for Cozy Garden Corner and then use MO for packing components into single product for shipment. This does not make sense though from accounting / worker perspective as we'll not produce anything. With automatic accounting we'll get valuation changes due to manufacturing operation and it's simply not correct (and we have very strict legal rules about that in our country).
