Error when company supplied in API call is different from current company

[measwel]

Good day,

I would like to create an invoice for a particular company ( I have a multi company setup ) via the rpc API. When I supply the company_id in the call, then I get an error depending on what is the current company for the user. If the current company is the same as the one supplied in the call, then there is no error and the invoice is created.

Generally; how do I let odoo know for what company I am performing the call? Must I set the current company for the user before I make the call? Or can I just specify the company in the call, even if current company is different?

Thank you.
