Time off accruals are now calculated based on work entries, making leave balances better reflect actual employment activity. This also moves related scheduled processing into the accrual module and sets allocation start dates from employee creation dates for more accurate payroll and leave handling.

The Documents app now keeps the last selected search panel category only where that behavior is intended. This prevents other search panels from unexpectedly remembering choices, making navigation more predictable for users.

The VOIP experience is easier to use, with better call transfer handling directly from a popover and clearer configuration screens. Users should have an easier time managing calls, finding settings, and avoiding missed incoming calls.

Add a popover to manage transfer call (instead of wizard).
Improve views.

Gantt views now evaluate row information using the same date-aware context as other Odoo screens. This makes date-based values such as today and now available consistently, reducing surprises in planning and scheduling views.

The evaluation context used in the gantt row widgets now uses the
same base context as the BasicModel (pyUtils.pycontext()) to access the
new date keys "today" and "now".

hr_contract_salary
hr_payroll_account

The Planning Gantt view now adapts how it shows employees based on company size. Smaller businesses can see all employees for easier scheduling, while larger organizations only see recently scheduled employees to keep performance fast and views manageable.

Purpose
=======

Most of our customers are SMEs with a handful employees.
For these people, it is practical to have a list of all
employees always available.

However, this could cause significant performance issues for
big databases with a lot of employees. In that case, the
current group_expand we have would be perfect, as it only
shows the essential information.

Specification
=============

If there are less than 20 employees (or any other number
that suits you best), display all employees in the Gantt view

If there are more than 20 employees, only display the employees
to whom a shift was assigned in the past 30 days (current
group_expand we have in master)

When creating an invoice from a field service task with no invoiceable lines, Odoo now preselects the percentage-based down payment option. This makes the invoicing flow clearer and faster for users who need to request an upfront payment.

Select "Down Payment (Percentage)" by default when creating an invoice
if there are no invoiceable lines.

Payroll work entry issues are now shown through a clearer conflict status instead of a warning flag. This helps payroll teams identify and resolve problematic entries more consistently before processing payslips.

`display_warning` is now replaced with the `conflicted` state.
