Manufacturing work center capacity can now be defined more flexibly by product, including a general capacity that applies to all products. Operation time and cost calculations have been updated accordingly, and the bill of materials overview is simplified to focus on core overview and forecast modes.

Change workcenter capacities:
 - no more default in the workcenter
 - but specific capacities per product optionally declined per unit.
 - no product means 'all products'

Adapt the way capacities are used:
 - new fields cycle_number, time_total & cost
 - computed with depends_context

Simplify BoM overview, keeping only 2 modes: overview & forecast

This update removes rarely used activity types from Belgian reporting and product lifecycle management so users see a more focused list of activity options. ECO approval reminders will now use standard to-do activities with clear summaries, reducing clutter without changing the underlying workflow.

This change removes leftover references to an old tax report activity category that had already been discontinued. It helps keep the accounting reports area cleaner and reduces the chance of confusing or unused options appearing in related activity views.

The 'tax_report' mail activity category has been removed by https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/commit/647699eeb4b8a1cc37ca074fa57844871c5086c1

Timesheet-related sales order line fields now show a “Non-billable” placeholder when no billable sales line is selected. This makes it easier for users to quickly recognize non-billable helpdesk work and reduces confusion when reviewing entries.

Added a Non-billable placeholder in the empty sales order line field, making it
easier for users to identify non-billable entries.

The audit trail is now enabled by default and offers better ways to search, filter, and group log messages. A restricted mode helps meet legal record-keeping requirements by preventing deletion of certain accounting-related records, with automatic activation for specific countries such as Germany.

Improve Audit Trail feature and make it default

Adding filtering, searching and grouping by log messages

Restricted mode follows GoBD restrictions, by preventing deletion of related records when a journal item is involved. For legal reasons, this setting is hidden and active by default in some specific cases (for german companies for example)

The appraisal screens now use more consistent status colors and better text wrapping so information is easier to read. A low-value skills view was removed to simplify navigation and reduce clutter for users.

- update appraisal list state color to match kanban
- remove kanban view for skill type as it does not add value
- fix the wrap of name field on kanban to not hide behind the kanban ribbon

This update improves the user experience around employee time off planning, especially in calendar-style planning views and payroll-related workflows. It helps HR and payroll teams better manage leave information and related warnings across supported country payroll setups.

Approval officers and administrators can now force approve requests they are allowed to oversee, helping unblock approval flows when needed. The update also prevents portal users from being selected as approvers and reduces unnecessary notifications by only sending them when a request status actually changes.

The security group approval officer or approval administrator allow the user to see every request. These managers should also be able to approve all requests.

This commit:
- Adds a "Force approval" action on the list and form view of the approval request that bypasses all approvers and set the request as approved.
- Disable the possibility to choose a portal user as an approver
- Only send approval/refusal notification (or mail) when the request status has changed and not every time an approver approves/refuses

Contracts created from salary offers now stay archived until the offer is signed, helping avoid premature active contracts. If an offer is refused, the related contract is removed so HR records stay clean and accurate.

This PR improves the salary configuration process by refining contract handling. The contract will remain in an archived state until the offer signing process is completed. If the offer is refused during the process, the linked contract will be deleted.

The Belgian salary package flow now includes mobility budget options directly in the standard Belgian HR salary module. This simplifies setup and gives Belgian employers and employees a more integrated way to manage mobility-related benefits in contracts and payslips.

Activities have been redesigned to be easier to understand and complete with fewer clicks. Related workflows and automated tests were updated across affected business apps to support the new experience and help keep day-to-day activity handling consistent.

This commit is a revamp of how activities work.
It aims at making them easier to use and comprehend, as well as
making many functions available in fewer clicks.

To accomodate for these changes, a few tests/flows have to be changed.

Social media communications for events with multiple time slots are now sent once for the overall event instead of once per slot. This prevents audiences from receiving repetitive posts while keeping event promotion clear and manageable.

For multi slots events, on the contrary of the current multi slots events mailing system,
the social communications still need to be send once for the whole event, not for every slots.
i.e. there is no need to send a social post before every exposition tour.

Limit the social post communication once for the event even if multi slots.

The IoT app now shows connected devices even when they do not have a supported driver. This gives teams better visibility when troubleshooting hardware that is connected but not working as expected.

Community PR: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/207043

Before this commit, only devices with supported drivers were shown in the IoT app.

After this commit, a new device type 'Unsupported' is added, and the IoT box now sends us these unsupported devices. This can be helpful to debug when a device is not working as expected (e.g. blackbox serial device)

Odoo’s bank reconciliation process has been redesigned with a clearer kanban-based workflow, making it easier for accounting teams to match bank statement lines with invoices, bills, or journal entries. The update removes some advanced configuration options to reduce complexity and improve day-to-day usability.

This commit introduces a revamped kanban view to process the bank statement
lines and reconcile them with existing invoices/bills, or help the users to
create the correct journal entry.

RATIONALE:
The previous reconciliation widget was not really user friendly, and was bloated
 with a lot of advance features for niche use cases.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:
* account.reconcile.model
  - rule_type: writeoff_suggestion and invoice_matching entirely removed. Those
    features are now directly hardcoded, users can't modify the sequence or
    tweak the invoice matching algorithm anymore. We belief this was way too
    advance and that people modifying the existing rules (and default behaviour)
    would more likely break something rather than help the processing of their
    statement lines
  - partner mapping: although it's not possible anymore to do it on the partner
    categories, it's still possible to define a partner mapping by creating an
    account.reconcile.model with match_label & match_label_param, and a single
    counter part item with the partner_id set and no account_id
  - deleted fields: rule_type, matching_order, match_note, match_note_param,
    match_transaction_details, match_transaction_details_param,
    match_text_location_label, match_text_location_note,
    match_text_location_reference, match_same_currency,
    match_partner_category_ids, match_partner, past_months_limit,
    decimal_separator, show_decimal_separator, partner_mapping_line_ids
    (+class), allow_payment_tolerance, payment_tolerance_type,
    payment_tolerance_param, counterpart _type, journal_id, number_entries
  - field auto_reconcile changed name & type (was boolean): it's replaced with
    the selection field 'trigger'
  - to_check boolean: would now be implemented with next_activity_type that you
    can set on the account.reconcile.model

* account.bank.statement.line
  - Revamp of the whole javascript with a clear subdivision into
    multiple components. We used a Kanban view that we completely override for
    our needs which are that each kanban record will display the information of
    a bank statement line (belonging to a journal) that we can unfold to show
    more information. When unfolding the bank statement line the user will have
    access to different buttons allowing him to directly modify the move behind
    the bank statement line (adding new line, delete some, editing them, ...)
  - The old bank rec widget was using two python file bank.rec.widget and
    bank.rec.widget.line that were temporary models to display a representation
    of the move before being validated and once it was validated the move was
    changed. Those two classes were removed.
    We now change directly the move because we want an auto validation. It means
    that everytime a new line is added a reconciliation process is done.
  - To link the move line of the bank statement line with the move line chosen
    in the reconcile search view and also to trigger the reconciliation
    process, we used a manyToMany field compute non stored with an inverse.
    Everytime the field is written on, the reconciliation plan will be
    triggered. It allows to have a link between reconciled entries without the
    need of a stored field since we benefit from the partial reconcile table.
  - Delete: bank.rec.widget, bank.rec.widget.line, views linked to
    bank_rec_widget that are not used anymore

Users uploading a PDF to prepare it for signing will now see a warning if they try to leave before saving it as a template or sending it for signature. This helps prevent accidental loss of document setup work and gives users the option to save or discard their changes.

Before this commit, if a user uploaded a PDF using the "Upload a PDF and sign" button, added fields to the document, and then left without saving or sending it for signing, all progress would be lost.

In this commit,  when a user tries to leave a document that hasn't been saved as a template or sent for signing, a warning dialog will appear. It informs the user that the document will no longer be available if not saved. The user can choose to save the document from the dialog if needed, or discard it if they don't want to keep the changes.
