Resolved issues and error corrections
This update resolves an issue where partner names with '&' characters were incorrectly formatted during SEPA export, leading to bank rejections. The fix ensures '&' is preserved in human-readable fields like partner names and addresses, aligning with banking standards and preventing export failures.
Original PR description
Problem: The previous fix (replacing '&' with '+' in _replace_characters_SEPA) was applied globally, affecting both reference/identifier fields and human-readable fields such as <Nm> (partner name)…
Problem:
The previous fix (replacing '&' with '+' in _replace_characters_SEPA) was applied globally, affecting both reference/identifier fields and human-readable fields such as <Nm> (partner name) and address lines.
As a result, a partner named "test & test GMBH" was exported as:
<Nm>test + test GMBH</Nm>
instead of the expected:
<Nm>test & test GMBH</Nm>
This caused bank file rejections because '&' is the correct XML encoding of '&' and is accepted by banks in human-readable fields.
Root cause:
ISO 20022 / EPC217-08 distinguishes two categories of data elements:
- Reference/identifier fields (InstrId, Ustrd, etc.): must use the restricted basic Latin character set — '&' is not allowed and must be replaced with '+'.
- Human-readable fields (Nm, AdrLine, etc.): may contain the extended Latin character set — '&' is valid and must be preserved so lxml can XML-escape it to '&' in the output.
Fix:
Revert the global '&' → '+' replacement in _replace_characters_SEPA so that '&' is preserved for name/address fields. The replacement of '&' with '+' for reference/identifier fields is already handled explicitly at the call sites in _get_CdtTrfTxInf (InstrId, Ustrd) via .replace('&', '+') before sanitize_communication is called.

Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#115409This update fixes an issue where expected working hours displayed in the Attendances Gantt view were inaccurate for employees using non-UTC time zones. The fix ensures that hour calculations now correctly account for the user's local time, providing more reliable attendance reporting. This improves the accuracy of time tracking for flexible schedules.
Original PR description
Steps to reproduce: 1. Ensure your browser is in a non-UTC timezone (e.g. Europe/Zurich) 2. Set an employee to have a flexible working schedule 3. Enter the Attendances app 4. When hovering over the employee in the gantt view, the expected hours do not match their working schedule When we calculate the expected hours for the Gantt view in attendances, we calculate this based on an incorrect number of attendance intervals given from _attendance_intervals_batch(). To ensure that we recieve accurate intervals, we need to ensure that we calculate intervals based on the correct date range with respect to the browsers timezone, instead of the UTC date range.
