This update expands payroll options for Indian businesses, allowing them to use various pay frequencies like daily, weekly, or monthly. Previously, the system was limited to monthly cycles, which is now removed to better accommodate diverse payroll practices and consultant requirements.
Original PR description
Version-master **Purpose**: Currently, many requirements are coming from the consultant side. Several small companies manage payroll on different cycles such as Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Half-Monthly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Half-Yearly. Therefore, the system should support flexible payslip frequencies to accommodate these varied payroll practices. ### What this PR does - Reintroduces the Wage Type configuration on the employee payroll form. - Allows defining the wage frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, half-monthly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, etc.). - Reflects the selected schedule_pay option as a read-only field in salary computation fields, ensuring clarity and consistency in payroll calculations. - Improves usability for consultants and payroll administrators managing multiple payroll cycles. task-5438112
This update expands the availability of the 'Sign' action to several standard company folders, including Employees, Finance, Legal, and Sign. This ensures that users can easily sign documents within these frequently used areas, streamlining document management processes. The change was made to improve consistency and usability across key business areas.
Original PR description
Extend the availability of the Sign embedded action to a set of precreated document folders (Employees, Projects, Finance, Legal, Sign, Admin) and their precreated subfolders. Previously, the Sign action was available only on Inbox and Admin. This update ensures consistent behavior across all relevant predefined folders without affecting user-created folders. ref: [Upgrade PR](https://github.com/odoo/upgrade/pull/9058) task: 5379871
This update allows users to easily share filtered views by copying a URL containing the search criteria. Previously, shared links didn't accurately reflect the user's filters. Now, a new command creates a URL with the current filters, ensuring colleagues see the same search results when they paste the link.
Original PR description
Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses: When teams collaborate, it is often useful to share a page by keeping the searches, (custom) filters and groups. Currently, when the user copies then pastes then URL somewhere, the colleague who clicks on it could not see the same things as the user who shared the link. This can be misleading. Current behavior before PR: The search model does not parse the url query string for search model parameters. Desired behavior after PR is merged: - Command to copy the current filters with the url into the clipboard (from the command pallette) - - > ONLY for stored action, we prevent sharing dynamic actions on purpose. - Activating individual filters / GroupBys from the url params if present. task#5391304 --- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
This update ensures accurate accounting for branches with different GST numbers. When a branch is created and its GST number doesn't match the parent company's, separate accounting journals are automatically generated for sales and purchases, aligning with GST regulations and maintaining independent financial records.
Original PR description
Currently, when a branch is created, no separate accounting journals are created by default. As per `Section 25(4) of the CGST Act`, a person having more than one GST registration—whether in the same State/UT or in different States/UTs—is treated as a distinct person under GST law. With this change, the GST number of the branch is compared with that of the parent company at the time of branch creation. If the GST numbers differ, separate accounting journals for `sale` and `purchase` are created for the branch to ensure that independent books of accounts are maintained. task-5417349 --- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
This update enhances the event track experience by adding the ability to collapse tracks in the list view and significantly improves the agenda view, particularly for multi-day events. Previously, users struggled to manage and view event schedules effectively. This change provides a cleaner and more organized event experience.
Original PR description
Prior to this PR, usability in the `tracks view` and in the `agenda view` was not good. To collapse the tracks, you had to click on the arrow (and only there) There was no collapsing possible in the `agenda view` task-3599197 --- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
This update improves activity views by ensuring users only see activities related to companies they have access to. Previously, users could view activities for companies they weren't connected to, leading to potential confusion. Adding a company ID to activities now correctly associates them with the relevant company record.
Original PR description
Currently, the views "All Activities" and "My Activities" will display every activity belonging to a user, even if they belong to record tied to companies on which the user has no access. This commit adds a company_id fields to activities, which will bind them to the company which own their record, if any. task-4800833
This update automatically installs the Microsoft Outlook module, aligning it with the existing Google Gmail integration. It also addresses a security issue by restricting users from utilizing other users' mail servers, ensuring emails are sent from authorized accounts and preventing unauthorized access.
