Every field on a company record — its name, code, description, time zone, and the regulatory details that print on your log PDFs — and where each one shows up.

Chef Diego runs a real food plant. If this page didn't get you there, tell us — a person reads every message.
A company in Bettr Manager is one plant or legal entity — a production site, a commissary, a distribution operation — and every product, lot, order, and record belongs to one. This page walks a company field by field: what the list shows, what the detail page holds, and what each section of the edit drawer sets. Open Companies to follow along.
The list shows one row per company, sorted by name. Each row carries the company's name, its code in a badge, and a summary line — the description, the Odoo ID when one is set, and the date the company was created. A company that isn't active wears an Inactive badge next to its name.
Above the list sit the controls that narrow it:
New opens the new-company form. When the list runs long, a per-page control and pagination sit beneath it.
Open a company to read its record, and select Edit to change it. Five fields make up a company:
AVA_1,
shown in a badge next to the name everywhere the company appears.The detail page also stamps when the company was created and last updated.
A company's time zone sets the calendar day for its production plans, schedules, and log timestamps, so a late shift lands on the day it actually worked. You pick it from the full list of time zones, and it saves on its own button in the edit drawer — separate from the details above it.
Two fields feed the cooking and cooling log PDFs your floor prints and your auditor reads: the Plant address (up to 500 characters) and the (up to 50). They're blank until you have them, and they save on their own button, apart from the details and the time zone.
Each company keeps its own products, stock, orders, and records, so you always work in one at a time. When you belong to more than one, an Active company picker sits in the top bar — pick another and the whole app moves to it. With a single company, the picker just shows its name.
While you're mid-record — adding or editing something that belongs to a company — the picker locks, so you can't strand a half-finished record in the wrong place. Finish or close what you started and it unlocks.
Viewing, adding, editing, and deleting companies are each controlled by permissions. The New button, the edit pencil on a row, and the danger zone on a company show only for people who hold the matching permission.
Deleting a company — from the danger zone on its detail page — hides it from every list and the Active company picker. Its records stay in place for audit and traceability; nothing is erased, and the company itself can't be brought back.
