Features or functions removed from Odoo
The project overview and related costs and revenues report have been removed because they duplicated information available elsewhere and were difficult to improve. Project-related financial and operational details are now expected to be accessed through existing project forms and related records, improving maintainability while changing where users find this information.

The project overview is a significant technical debt as it is a custom qweb view. It is quite limited: It is not possible to group the data, to filter on dates, SOs or Field Service projects. Improving this is very difficult and would require weeks of development that are not worth it. In any case, all the information provided by the project overview can be found elsewhere. The stat buttons of the report are basically duplicates of the ones from the project form view. Therefore, we are removing this report and its twin, the Project Costs and Revenues. In addition, analytic items lack context for the user to understand what generated a certain cost or revenue: there is no link to the source document; the entries are not categorized (e.g. it is not easy to understand if a cost comes from a timesheet cost, a purchase order or an expense); the billable type group by works fine for timesheets but then all the other entries are flagged as Undefined, which is not very helpful; there is no option to easily isolate costs from revenues. task-2646234 See odoo/enterprise#20936 -- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
The project overview and related costs and revenues report have been removed because they duplicated information available elsewhere and were difficult to improve. Project financial and operational details are now expected to be reviewed through existing project views and analytic information, reducing maintenance burden while keeping the data accessible.
