Understanding the_check_company_auto attribute in Odoo

Hello odooers  & developers, 

Its odoo tips and tricks article, where I would like to share more knowledge about the  check_company_auto attribute in odoo

as an odoo developer, knowing the fundamentals of  check_company_auto attribute in odoo behaviour, its Syntax, and how we can use the check_company_auto attribute in odoo is essential.  

Explore check_company_auto attribute in odoo :-

- In Odoo, when managing multiple companies within a single database, ensuring data consistency across these companies is crucial. The _check_company_auto attribute provides a powerful tool for achieving this by automatically verifying that related records belong to the same company.

- When you define a model class with _check_company_auto set to True, Odoo automatically performs company checks during record creation (create()) and modification (write()). This includes verifying that any relational fields (e.g., many2one, one2many) in your model point to records belonging to the same company as the current record.

Use of check_company_auto attribute in odoo :-

- Usecase: When the user attempts to create a SaleOrder for Company A and selects a vendor from Company B, Odoo automatically triggers a company check, raising an error that prevents saving the record until the vendor_id is corrected to a supplier belonging to Company A.

Check_company_auto attribute

    _name = 'my.model'

    _check_company_auto = True

    company_id = fields.Many2one('res.company', string='Company', required=True, default=lambda self: self.env.company)

# _check_company_auto works best with models that have a company_id field explicitly defined. # Combine _check_company_auto with the check_company attribute in relational field definitions for enhanced control.
