This update adds support for filing the GSTR-9 report, a crucial annual GST return required by Indian businesses. It integrates data from previous returns and accounts to ensure accurate reporting for tax compliance by December 31st. This enhancement supports businesses with annual turnover under ₹2 crore, simplifying their GST filing process.

This **PR** introduces support for GSTR-9 report.

GSTR-9 is an annual GST return that registered taxpayers, including SEZ units, must file for each financial year. It includes details from previously filed returns (GSTR-1, 2A, and 3B) and the books of accounts. The form covers annual sales, taxable and non-taxable transactions, inward supplies, ITC claimed, and ITC reversals. The GSTR-9 filing is due by December 31st of the following year and is optional for taxpayers with a turnover of less than ₹2 crore.

This update simplifies the salary calculator process by removing the direct employee creation option. Now, users can select an existing employee or leave the field blank, streamlining workflows and reducing potential data entry errors. This change improves the overall user experience within the HR contract salary payroll module.

This commit disables the option to create a new employee directly from the salary calculator. The employee field should be optional, and users may select an existing employee if required.

This update enhances the point-of-sale system by intelligently determining when order payments can be edited, based on the specific localization and features being used. This ensures users only have access to payment editing options relevant to their situation, improving the user experience and data accuracy. It addresses a previous issue related to inconsistent payment editing controls across different Odoo versions.

This update fixes a calculation error in the product reporting module for Peru (l10n_pe). The initial product value was incorrectly set to zero, leading to inaccurate out-move reporting. This change ensures that product values are correctly calculated, reflecting the actual cost and improving reporting accuracy.

Since we create a product value with the initial cost of the product we need to adapt this test. Since it creates the product during the setup at date of today. It will register the current value of the product as 0. When you deliver it will take the current cost so 0. Thus the out move won't have any value.

This update strengthens our point-of-sale testing process by ensuring that ticket generation tests accurately simulate real-world scenarios. The tests now correctly initialize tickets and validate them against printer models, leading to more reliable test results and improved product quality. This addresses a previous issue where tests were not fully representative of the actual ticket generation workflow.

Previously, ticket-generation tests relied on manual render calls, bypassing initialization logic and missing key method flows.

This update refactors the test utilities to mimic real-life execution: tickets are now initialized via the main generation methods, and the final printed ticket is validated through the printer model.

This update improves the customer experience by adding the delivery OTP directly to the receipt. Previously, the receipt only displayed the delivery address, creating confusion for customers. This change ensures customers have immediate access to the OTP needed for delivery.

Before this commit:

- Delivery OTP was not shown on the  receipt.
- Receipt only displayed delivery address without any OTP.

After this commit:
-------------------
- Display “Delivery OTP ” below the delivery address on the receipt.

This update fixes a minor inconsistency in the documentation for our phone system features. The previous documentation incorrectly referenced a method that was never actually used. This change ensures the documentation accurately reflects the current codebase, improving clarity for our support team and developers.

A mention to `_voip_get_phone_field` appeared in [1] but this seems to never have existed. In any case, `_phone_get_number_fields` was used by the codebase in the end and should thus be the one mentioned.

This update fixes an issue where opening invalid account return checks could display all `account.move.line` records, even when only one or zero matching records existed. The change ensures that the correct number of records are displayed, preventing unnecessary data loading and improving reporting accuracy.

Before this PR, opening invalid records from account return checks could show all `account.move.line` records when there were 0 or 1 matching record(s).

Technical Reason:
In `_get_records_action` domain is only applied when there are multiple records, so without a domain, all records are opened.

With this PR, the domain is passed through the method arguments, and also action will be none if there are no records.

This update corrects a previous change that incorrectly included legal reserves in the Belgian Balance Sheet reports. This change was unnecessary as legal reserve requirements have been removed since 2024. This reversion ensures accurate reporting for Belgian businesses.

In #95062, the BE Balance Sheet was changed to include Legal Reserves. However, since this is not needed since 2024, this change can be reverted.

This update fixes a security vulnerability where Portal and Internal users could create private knowledge articles without the necessary permissions. The fix ensures that users only have access to create articles when they have the appropriate 'Create' access rights, improving data security and control. UI changes have also been implemented to hide creation buttons for users without the correct permissions.

How to Reproduce : 
1. Remove 'Create' access on the 'Knowledge Article' model for Portal and 
   Internal users.
2. Now log in as a Portal.
3. Try to create a new private article.
4. Log in as an Internal user.
5. Try to create a new private article.

Both Internal and Portal users can still create private articles even after
'Create access' is removed.

Article creation logic in `knowledge.article` was bypassing the usual access
rights because of `sudo` (mainly to add the creator as a member, since creation
rights on the member model are not granted). This allowed users to create
private articles even without create access.

This commit introduces:
1. Model-level access check in `create`. Sudo the creation of articles only when
   the user has create rights.

2. UI imp to hide the '+' button in the sidebar and the `New` button in
   the topbar when the user doesn't have create access.

3. New test cases to verify that model-level access rights are respected when creating an article.

4. Removed 'create=1' from article embedded list view as it was always displaying 'New' button
    irrespective of create rights.
    Now it displayed based on create rights.

This update ensures that inactive accounts are no longer included in reports, aligning with a change in how inactive status is tracked within the system. Previously, the system incorrectly displayed inactive accounts, which has now been resolved to improve report accuracy and data consistency. This change was made to streamline reporting processes.

In replacing the deprecated field with the special `active` field the account_codes prefix engine no longer displays values for accounts that are inactive.

This disables the active test in:
- computing the domain for accounts
- auditing the value (since the domain is `('account_id.code', 'in'...)`

This update simplifies the way document folders are displayed in search panels by returning raw data from the model and allowing the client to handle the formatting. This change improves the search panel's performance and maintainability, ensuring a smoother user experience when navigating document folders.

We're choosing to keep the model method cleaner and return the
raw field value, and let the client convert to number
to construct the folders' tree.

We're also setting the method as readonly as it does not modify 
data.

- Some views did not display monetary data correctly,.

after this commit:
==============
- All currency-related fields have been replaced with Monetary fields instead of Float fields.
- Views have been updated to follow the new approach for displaying monetary data consistently.
