Introduction
The Multi Branch Base module empowers Odoo users to define and manage multiple operational units—branches—within a single company. It enables data isolation, user-based branch control, and structured workflows that mirror multi-company capabilities while retaining centralized oversight.
Key Features
Create multiple branch or unit records per company.
Assign branches to users, with control over who can access which branch.
Enable users with branch access to switch context via the header interface.
Tag contacts (e.g., customers, suppliers) with branch association.
Branch-based data segregation ensures users see only relevant records.
Designed to act as a base module, enabling multi-branch logic for other extensions.
Benefits
Operational clarity: Manage diverse branches while maintaining unified control.
Secure access: Branch-specific rights restrict user visibility to appropriate data.
Scalable setup: Branch context can be extended to various business operations.
User-friendly: Header switcher enables seamless branch context switching.
