website menu:
- restructure menu
- Keep google analytics view in a dedicated menu item when ecommerce is installed in enterprise:
- Sales Overview (ecommerce dahsboard)
- Analytics (google analytics)
- restore google analytics api option in website settings when ecommerce is installed
ecommerce menus:
- Website > orders > orders: add default filter "from website" and remove it in the action
that way if you create an order manually there is still a way to find it from the menu (the salesteam is
different)
- default filter for abandoned cart menu:
- https://drive.google.com/a/odoo.com/file/d/1chRBiWNFOy1qf7bP0dZBCyunfTWMcpGI/view?usp=drivesdk
- it's not obvious that recovery emails must be sent manually -> improve setting text and tooltip:
- Title: Abandoned Carts
- Subtitle: Send a recovery email when a cart is abandoned
- Tooltip: Abandoned carts are all carts for which no transaction has been confirmed while the
customer has filled in their address. You can find them in *Website > Orders > Abandoned Carts*.
From there you can send a recovery email to stimulate the customers to resume their order.
- Tooltip email template: This email template is suggested by default when you send a recovery email.
- Tooltip hours: Carts are flagged as abandoned after this delay.
- Hour label: Cart is abandoned after .... hour(s).Manufacturing users can now see product-related documents and bill of materials references directly in the BoM Structure and Cost report. This makes it easier to access supporting files and understand which manufacturing structure applies without leaving the report, while also correcting printed report columns.

Purchase order lines now automatically set the unit price to zero when the ordered quantity is below a supplier’s minimum quantity or when a unit-of-measure change makes the quantity ineligible for supplier pricing. This helps buyers spot invalid supplier pricing conditions and avoids carrying over misleading prices.

Code cleanup and technical improvements
This pull request reorganizes Odoo's internal messaging bus so browser tabs and long-running background connections are handled more clearly and reliably. It also stops unnecessary server calls when a bus connection is closed, reducing wasted database work and lowering the risk of unexpected behavior in features like live chat, mail, calendar, and barcode flows.
