New functionality added to Odoo
This change brings back the option to show totals below report sections, after feedback that businesses in the US and Latin America rely on this layout. It helps companies keep financial reports aligned with local expectations and established reporting practices.
Original PR description
This reverts commit fca441f7fe024722a043cd9300dbaae3a2a2c1e0. We got reports that the "Totals Below Sections" setting is actually important in the US and LATAM countries. The usage is there to always display amounts like that on reports, and there is a lot of resistance to softwares not allowing that. We hence reintroduce this feature.
Enhancements to existing features
Report actions that require selecting the main company and all branches now remain available and show a clear message when the selection is incomplete. This helps users understand what to do instead of seeing disabled buttons and assuming the system is broken.
Original PR description
When you have a company with branches in a database, some reports only make sense when you have the main company with all its branches selected. Currently some report actions (buttons) were disabled if you didn't have your main company and its branches selected, without any information on why the buttons were disabled. This resulted in people creating tickets because they thought something was wrong. This change makes the buttons clickable again, but instead displays a message saying that the user should select the main company and its branches in order to save a sensible report.

Features or functions removed from Odoo
Notification emails in several Odoo apps no longer include extra action buttons or links that were considered distracting. This makes email notifications easier to read and more like regular email conversations, while aligning enterprise modules with the newer Odoo email layout.

Notification emails no longer include extra action buttons or links that were already hidden in the standard layout. This makes email conversations easier to read and keeps the focus on the actual message content.
