I would like to purchase an item directly to someone who is used to do orders for the company he is employed at.

When I do a bill with that contact, it is always signed to the company he is working at. Is there a possibility to elect his private account or do I have to create the very same client a second time but without relating him to the company he is working at?

A person should be shown with a many to many field. A person as himself and in relation to an or multiple companies.

In the most international companies I worked for (especially pharma and food companies), they had employees responsible for different companies. So the very same person purchased for different companies at the same time.

For example:
John Doe is employed as purchasing agent at Supergreedy Holding Inc., which owns 6 different companies he is now purchasing for at the same time even sometimes at the same suppliers.
Supergreedy  Pharma Inc.
Lessgreedy Pharma Inc.
Stillgreedy Pharma Inc.
etc.

In Odoo I have to put the very same person 7 times with all his contact data into. And if he wants to purchase one item for himself, I have to keep 8 contact files up to date. That doesn't make sense and it is quite a mess.

So: Is there any add-on out there, which does, what I need?

This is a different scenario than your orginial question, which was properly answered. Please post a new question with the new scenario, as it is not possible to create multiple answers in the Odoo forum.

It is based on the same problem, but with a wider explanation to make the challenge more clear. To put the same person multiple times into the system, is the foundation for poorly data management.

It is not the same client from a logical and legal perspective.
