Enhancements to existing features
Companies can now record an accounting firm or agent in their company information and use it as the default representative when exporting tax and financial report XML files. Export actions were also made clearer by simplifying report button labels to file formats, helping users choose the right output more easily.
Original PR description
A company may grant a mandate to an accounting firm or an agent to file its tax return or financial reports. The goal is to allow companies to add their agent as a partner and select it in the company data configuration. While exporting the XML file, if an agent has been configured, it will be used by default as the company's representative. Task 2526717
Resolved issues and error corrections
Social Poster users can now refresh statistics for social accounts and posts without running into access errors. This keeps dashboard data up to date for users responsible for social media activity, even when they do not have broader editing rights.
Original PR description
Bug === If a "Social User" open the dashboard view and try to refresh the statistics of a LinkedIn account, an error is raised. To be: the "Social Poster" should be able to refresh the statistics of the social accounts / posts even if he do not have the write ACL. Task-2614038
When a salary contract is signed, the employee record now updates both the official job role and department instead of only the job title text. This keeps HR records consistent after contract approval and reduces manual corrections.
Original PR description
Related to task 26164446. When a new contract was signed, only the job_title was updated on the employee form. This fix changes the Job Title on the Generate a Simulation Link wizard to a many2one field linked to hr.job. The department is a many2one field linked to hr.department. Once the contract is reviewed, the job_id and department_id are updated. job_title takes the value of job_id
When starting a new rental from a CRM lead, choosing to create a new customer will now always create one, even if Odoo suggested a possible existing match. This prevents rentals from being linked to the wrong customer and keeps customer records accurate.
Original PR description
…ound and create is selected When clicking on the 'New rental' action, if no current customer is linked to the lead, a popup opens with the following options: - Create a new customer - Link to an existing customer - Do not link to a customer If odoo found a potential matching customer but we decide it is the wrong one and select the first option, a new one should always be created opw-2545065 Related : https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/74988
Features or functions removed from Odoo
The Helpdesk SLA feature for tracking ticket assignment time has been reverted because it duplicated existing SLA configuration options. This keeps Helpdesk service rules simpler to use and easier to maintain without reducing supported SLA outcomes.
Original PR description
This commit reverts commit a15e36889d53fb27bb199cbb0f730d9991a177ac The commit is reverted because the feature is deemed unnecessary as it is redundant if the 'old' system is configured properly. It also makes use and development of helpdesk SLA features more complicated than necessary. See odoo/enterprise#6191 Task ID: 2500950
