Users can now combine multiple small timer-generated timesheet entries into one entry for the same project and day. This helps keep customer-facing timesheets cleaner and reduces disputes over individual activity details.
Original PR description
Currently, when the timer is stopped, it either increments an existing entry if there is no description or it creates a new one. The timer tends to generate a lot of small entries. However, it is always best to have one single timesheet entry that regroups everything done for a given project on a specific day. This way, the customer doesn't know what activity took what time exactly and cannot argue over small details. In that context, a tool to merge all of the small entries generated by the timer into a single one at the end of the day would be a great help. TaskID: 2275778

The manufacturing cost report now avoids counting the same expected material quantity more than once when extra consumption creates additional stock moves. This gives businesses more accurate cost analysis for production orders using flexible bills of materials.
Original PR description
The report showed wrong values in case of duplication of stock moves. A raw move can be split when consuming more than the initial demand (if the bill of Material is in flexible consumption). The extra consumption is set on another stock move. In this case, the cost analysis report will sum the theoretical quantity (bom line qty * production qty) for each move of the same product. and so double the quantity. Task : 2212001
