This is in Odoo V13 enterprise.


I have a scheduled action that gets data from Customer Invoices and then creates a new invoice based off of that data. We have multiple companies in our Odoo database and I would like the scheduled action to run for each of the companies, what is the best way to do this?


Example of what I have so far:

For some reason the new invoices can be seen from all the companies and will error if it is opened from the wrong company even though it is visible.

for company in self.env["res.company"].search([]):
            # Find all the invoices from the last month
            monthly_invoices = (
                self.with_context(force_company=company.id)
                .env["account.move"]
                .sudo()
                .search(
                    [
                        ...
                        ("company_id.id", "=", company.id),
                    ]
                )
            )
            groups = ...
            # Create the new invoices from the groups
            for customer, invoices in groups.items():
                if invoices:  # Must have invoices
                    new_invoice = (
                        self.with_context(force_company=company.id)
                        .env["account.move"]
                        .sudo()
                        .create(
                            {
                                ...
                                "company_id": company.id,
                            }
                        )
                    )

That does not help with my issue, this is code already run by a scheduled action. My issue isn't that I don't know how to create a scheduled action but I don't know the best way for a scheduled action to affect records in multiple companies cleanly.

I believe I figured it out, I am not sure if this is the best way to go about this but it seems to work fine.

To make it clear, I will break it down a bit further here.

The Initial Problem

I have multiple companies set up in Odoo and I want to run a scheduled action that will apply to each company. The issue was that if I set the user in the scheduled action to OdooBot (user 1) it had the context of company 1, and only company 1.


Running the scheduled action as OdooBot will give access to records from all companies. This is perfect for reading information from records but extra steps will have to be taken to write to specific companies.


The Solution

This is inside the method that the scheduled action calls, I can give more details to the scheduled action and the code not found below on request.


def scheduled_action_method(self):
    for company in self.env['res.company'].search([]):    
        company_env = self.env.with_context(force_company=company.id)                           searched_recordset = company_env.search([...])                  

        new_record = company_env.write({..})

This is code is meant to show the principle, I can share my actual code here as well if it would be beneficial to someone.

If anyone has any suggestions on how this could be improved, let me know.

Thanks

Another solution is to change the field 'Scheduled User' to 'OdooBot' (you can only change this field by export and import).

OdooBot can access all data of all the companies, so that the scheduled action should be applied to all the companies.

It worked for me to extract info from sale orders of different companies.
