The base unit count/price field needs to be exactly below the sales taxes field in the product view, and the Avatax category field is the only field that positions itself right below the sales tax div, getting between the sales taxes and base unit fields.

It simplifies company configuration and improves the selection process for employer types. This ensures compliance with Belgian regulations and provides more precise payroll reporting.

Moreover, some improvements where added for the label and selections of FFE employer type. To ensure a streamlined process for configuring a company following the belgian localization, the default values and requirement of the field were removed Task: 5923029
This update introduces a new field for tracking partial work time specifically for Belgian employees within Odoo Enterprise. This allows for more accurate payroll calculations when employees work less than full-time, addressing a key requirement for Belgian labor regulations. The change is designed to improve the accuracy of HR and payroll data for this specific region.

Added a part-time field on the employee form only visible for Belgian employees and when the employee is not full-time (i.e. work_time_rate < 1) task-5979825
This update simplifies payroll configuration for US companies by removing unnecessary account codes. The system now supports configuring payroll using XML IDs instead, aligning with the lack of a standardized US CoA. This change improves flexibility and reduces complexity.
Original PR description
We are removing account codes from the US CoA because there's no normalized CoA in the US and account codes are optional. _configure_payroll_account() only worked with codes. An alternative parameter was added to configure payroll with XML IDs instead. The _configure_payroll_account_generic_coa() was removed as well, because it no longer appears necessary. task-5891104
This update simplifies report generation by setting the journal filter to 'off' by default. Now, when a ledger exists, users will automatically see a dropdown menu to select the specific ledger, ensuring relevant financial data is always displayed without requiring manual adjustments. This enhances report usability and clarity.
Original PR description
On the majority of reports, the journal filter is not necessary by default. But we need to still show the ledgers, independently of the journals. So when the journal filter is disabled, but a ledger exists, show a dropdown menu with the ledgers. task-6032881 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#110506
This update streamlines the testing process for the stock barcode module by optimizing how test data is prepared. Moving setup configurations to `setUpClass` reduces test execution time slightly. Additionally, the code now creates records in batches where possible, further enhancing efficiency.
Original PR description
This commit moves the records' creation and the configuration of the `stock_barcode` tests from the `setUp` to the `setUpClass` method, so those are done only once and not at the beginning of every test. The purpose of this change is to slightly speed up the run of tests. Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#110000 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#109624

This update brings the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports for Chinese businesses in line with the latest accounting standards (ASBE and ASSBE). The changes improve report consistency and accuracy, ensuring compliance and reliable financial reporting.
Original PR description
### [IMP] l10n_cn_reports: update BS & PnL We update the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports to be consistent with updated ASBE and ASSBE standards odoo-[251681](https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/251681) task-[5939988](https://www.odoo.com/odoo/all-tasks/5939988) --- We encountered an issue where setting `groupby = False` still resulted in an error (no groupby and children lines). This was resolved by setting a co-dependent variable `user_groupby = False`. The reports has lines with "Includes:" and sibling lines' name are expected to be aligned with it. Hierarchy lines and using various space characters (CJK space `　`, and "en" space ` `) was a maintenance nightmare. We instead chose to remove `includes:` as it's implied by the natural indentation of grouped lines.

This update ensures Odoo's SEPA XML transactions comply with the latest ISO 20022 standard by using a structured address format. Previously, addresses were unstructured, but now they utilize hybrid tags for country, city, and postal code, improving data accuracy and compatibility with SEPA regulations. Validation has also been added to guarantee country and city information is present.
Original PR description
According to the ISO 20022 XML standard, any address included in SEPA interbank messages must be in a structured or hybrid format. Before this commit: --- - `<PstlAdr>` generation in SEPA XML used unstructured `<AdrLine>` tags. In this commit: --- - Generate <PstlAdr> with hybrid tags `<PstCd>`, `<TwnNm>`, `<Ctry>` and `<AdrLine>` in compliance with ISO 20022 requirements. - Added validation to ensure both country and city are present for partners and employees. --- task-5003410
