Can you elaborate on the use case for this module? I tested and it works as intended, but it seems to me a bit dangerous that when installing this module, you can send out the same serial number twice.

Why would this be needed? Because a serial number normally can reside only in one place.

Maybe you can give a specific example of a dropship flow in which this happens, in steps.

Hello @thomaspaulb, thanks for the review. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Setup:

   • Company A and Company B are separate entities.
   • Company A initially stores products in its own warehouse and regularly sells them.

2. Scenario:

   • Company A decides to stop storing products in its own warehouse and instead subcontracts Company B to handle dropshipping for them.
   • As part of this change, Company A sells all of its stock to Company B (using the purchase_sale_inter_company module in Odoo to facilitate this process).
   • Company A delivers the products to Company B with serialized numbers, which Company B retains.

3. Issue:

   • When Company A sells a product via dropshipping, Company B fulfills the delivery to the end customer.
   • An error is triggered because Company A is trying to register a delivery to the customer using the same serial numbers already used in the transfer to Company B.

This is indeed a specific situation, but it could potentially affect others in a similar setup. If it’s a one-time scenario, performing an inventory adjustment on the customer location might temporarily resolve it, but I’m uncertain about the long-term correctness of that approach.

Hi, thanks for explaining the scenario!

I wonder why you get an error in that scenario, because we have exactly the same setup as you describe for a customer, but we don't get that error. It's probably because in our case, we maintain the multi-company security rule on serial numbers, so we dont share serial numbers between companies - they have to be copied. (OCA intercompany module copies them automatically, not sure about Odoo Enterprise version).

Because they are copied you wont get the error because the serial numbers are different records with different ids
