Product Categories - Company Favorites
This module is usefull in a multi-company context if - the companies doesn’t have to use all the same categories - if you apply companies to your products.
Without that module, when creating products, end user can select categories that don’t make sense for the current company. With that module, categories manager can set for each company, which category will be displayed, reducing configuration error. (and so accounting error if accounts are set at the category level.)
You could be interested by concurrent module named product_category_company, (same repository), that propose similar features but with alternative implementation.
Note
When creating new root category:
- it is favorite for all the other company if it is favorite in the current context.
- it is not favorite for all the other company if it is not favorite in the current context.
When creating new child category:
- the category will inherit the configuration of the parent category in each company.
when creating a new company:
- all the existing categories are favorite in the new created company.
