Several Odoo list views now use full-row color highlighting in addition to status badges. This makes it easier for users to quickly identify record states across approvals, documents, quality control, rentals, and social posts.
Original PR description
Currently, to identify records based on state, in most of the list views we use 'badge' widget on 'state' fields which can be decorated as needed. However, for the list views, best approach would be to also add list decoration along with 'badge' widget so that the whole line is coloured and it's easy for user to 'scan' the information. This PR improves the behaviour adding decorations to several list-views. To check the list of changes, kindly see the task specification. Task ID-2527119
HR teams can now set onboarding and offboarding plans to start automatically when key employee events occur, such as employee creation, departure, contract start, or contract end. Plan launches and any activity issues are recorded in the employee chatter, giving teams better visibility while keeping manual plan launches available.
Original PR description
Automate activites linked to plan on certain triggers. To automate onboarding and offboarding processes, we can now define plans that will activate upon triggers, such as employee creation, departure (archive), contract start or contract end. Manual plans are still possible. Upon activation of a plan, a message will be added to the employee's chatter with the name of the plan. More options have been added related to when to schedule the plan's activities. The blocking mechanism has been removed (the plan would not launch if an activity could not be started, due to lack of information), failed activities will now be logged into the employee's chatter. The list and kanban employee views have also been updated to include info such as first contract date and activity information. Task ID: 2489095 Odoo PR: odoo/odoo#68451
Businesses can now record transactions from more than one payment provider in the same bank journal. This makes bank reconciliation and payment setup more flexible for companies using multiple acquirers or payment channels.
Original PR description
Users may want to be able to have transactions coming from multiple payment acquirers to be registered in the same journal. This will allows that. Task id #2414749
