This update standardizes how images are stored and displayed across multiple Odoo apps, including clearer size names and a new medium-large image option. It improves consistency and efficiency for image-heavy records such as contacts, employees, products, fleet vehicles, badges, and website shop categories, while reducing unnecessary stored image versions where they are not needed.

Credit notes and refunds are now clearer across invoices, bills, dashboards, and PDFs. The update makes refund documents easier to understand by showing the right document title and reference details while removing payment instructions that do not apply.

Reports that show amounts written out in words now use the recipient’s language for the currency unit label. This makes multilingual documents clearer and more professional for customers and partners.
Original PR description

This update removes unused precision settings from several currency-related fields because they were not actually affecting how monetary amounts are stored or displayed. It reduces confusion for maintainers without changing business behavior for users.

Clicking a cell in list views no longer shows an unnecessary darker focus style while the page is loading. The focus highlight remains available for keyboard navigation, keeping accessibility support while making mouse interactions look cleaner.

Before this commit, when clicking on a cell in the listview, the cell receives the focus, which makes it have an extra style (darker gray) when waiting for the page to laod.

Point of Sale setup now creates and assigns the right journals by default, including company-specific sales and invoicing journals. The update also improves PoS order/session screens and makes pricing and discount options available without requiring the Sales app, reducing setup errors and manual configuration.
Original PR description
1. Default PoS Orders Journal Make sure that a default POS order journal is created and set as default sales journal on the newly created pos.config 2. PoS Orders https://nimb.ws/I1sp7F [OK]…
1. Default PoS Orders Journal
Make sure that a default POS order journal is created and set as default sales journal on the newly created pos.config
2. PoS Orders
https://nimb.ws/I1sp7F [OK]
https://nimb.ws/GKmwo5 [OK]
3. In the PoS.config
When I tick the option "multi-currencies" in the pos.settings, it should tick the option "Multiple Product Prices"
And when this option is ticked, I see the default pricelist and the option to activate advanced pricelsits (it's what you've already done https://nimb.ws/9LhsVC)
Default pricelist and advanced pricelists should be next to each other
4. On pricelist:
The field discount_policy has been moved from 'sale' to 'product' in revision: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/27310/commits/a216473c73086cf028228d2d5cf3470c8a8d55bc but the view is still only there in sale module, meaning that if you have only point of sale installed, you have no way to enable this on the pricelist and so use it in POS. Move the view in module 'product' and apply correct groups.
5. Define a domaine for the pos orders journal in pos.config : should be a sales journal
https://nimb.ws/lcNFf4
6. When I tick the box "invoicing", there should be a default journal set and this journal should be the customer invoices journal of the company. Would that be possible ?

Several business apps now use clearer, standardized image sizes and naming. This helps keep images consistent across records and screens, improves display quality options, and simplifies future maintenance without changing single-image models.

Expense sheets linked to payroll now give HR teams clearer options to either post accounting entries or defer reimbursement to the next payslip. Payslips also make related expenses easier to access, reducing manual steps and simplifying payroll review.
Original PR description
- Display 2 buttons on the expense sheet to either post the journal entries or ask to report the expense in next payslip. - On the many2many expense sheets on the payslip, display a stat button and redirect to the related expenses when set.
This update removes an outdated internal note that incorrectly suggested certain changes should not be carried forward. It helps keep maintenance guidance accurate without changing how users work with the system.
Discount controls were aligned with the updated product-based permission setup, helping subscription and field service documents keep working as expected. A reporting test was also tightened to avoid failures caused by an extra point-of-sale journal.
