Linking an employee to a user no longer automatically overwrites the employee's carefully formatted name. This helps preserve correct personal name formatting and avoids unintended changes in HR records.
Original PR description
Purpose ======= Managing people's names is hard. The full name is stored in a single field. But is it first name first? Last name first? How many names? We don't want an onchange to automatically change names for which we might have spent a lot of energy correctly formatting in the database. Specification ============= Remove the automatic sync between the user's name and the employee's name when a user is linked to the employee.

Payroll users can now generate payslips only for employees belonging to their own company. This strengthens company-level separation and helps prevent payroll actions on employees from other accessible companies.

The signature field now fills in the signer name from the actual record data instead of looking at page elements. This avoids using the wrong value when similar fields appear in related records, making signature capture more accurate and predictable.

[COMMUNITY]
- mrp: 'batch' and 'batch_size' fields have been added in community and removed from enterprise so
they can be visible in both, community and enterprise.

Method".
- "Partner" to "Contact" on the pickings has been renamed.The manufacturing bill of materials structure report now uses clearer labels for its print buttons. This helps users choose the right print action more confidently and reduces confusion when generating reports.

Users can no longer create or edit stock locations directly from selection fields across inventory-related workflows. This helps keep warehouse location setup controlled and consistent by requiring changes to be made through the dedicated stock location menu.

The salary configurator now asks new employees for first and last names in separate fields, then stores them in a consistent last-name-first format. Existing employee names remain unchanged in one field to avoid incorrect automatic reformatting.
Original PR description
Purpose ======= In the salary configurator people sometimes enter "\<Last name\> \<First name\>" and sometimes "\<First name\> \<Last name\>". This makes the employee's names formatting heterogeneous. We want to always have "\<Last name\> \<First name\>". Specification ============= In the salary configurator font end, ask the last and first names separately than concatenate them for backend. For existing employees, we don't know how the name is formatted, so keep the name in a single input. (and it's impossible to have a clever heuristic) Task 1953003
Warehouse users can no longer create or edit stock locations directly while working with barcode inventory or move line screens. This helps keep location data controlled and consistent by requiring locations to be managed through the proper setup flow.

task-1958487Manufacturing dashboard links now open the more operator-friendly tablet/kanban view instead of a list view, making work orders easier to access and act on. Some duplicate enterprise view customization was also removed because the batch fields are now handled in the standard community view.

For better usability, by this commit, by clicking on those mentioned links, will be landed on tablet view.
