Use Cases / Context

In complex multi-company environments, it is common for different companies to require personalized views for the same model. Examples include:

• Different workflows or business processes.
• Variations in required fields or field ordering.
• Regulatory or organizational differences between subsidiaries.

Previously, these needs were often addressed by assigning views to security groups using the groups_id attribute. However, this is no longer supported.

The ir_ui_view_multi_company module resolves this limitation by introducing a dedicated company_ids field on views, ensuring that views are only applied when the user is operating under the matching company context.

Configuration

1. Enable the multi-company feature in your Odoo instance.
2. To dedicate a view to a specific company:
   • Go to the technical menu: Settings > Technical > User Interface > Views.
   • Edit or create a view.
   • Set the Company field to the desired company.

The domain operator used to filter inheriting views by company (=, parent_of, child_of, etc.) can be easily customized by overriding the _inheriting_views_domain_company_operator class attribute.
