The standard cron process reconciles batches of 100 bank statement lines at a time. In multi-company environments with large historical datasets, this query frequently timed out, exceeding the 15-minute execution limit. Even when throttled to a batch size of 10 records, the query required approximately 18.8 seconds to execute. The performance degradation was driven by the following factors: 1. Suboptimal Lateral Filtering: The statement line batch array filter was placed inside the `LATERAL` block's `WHERE` clause. This prevented the query planner from optimizing the drive path effectively across iterations. 2. Inefficient Join Sequence and Filtering: The original join order scanned `account_move_line` before resolving the company hierarchy constraint. As a result, millions of rows across all companies were retrieved from the index, forcing repeated primary key lookups on `res_company` before ultimately discarding over 99.9% of the records via the late `parent_path` hierarchy filter. This commit addresses these issues by: 1. Moving the `st_line.id` filtering constraint out of the lateral subquery and into the outer main query block to guide the execution path properly. 2. Reordering the inner `LATERAL` subquery to resolve the company hierarchy (`res_company`) prior to joining `account_move_line`. This constraints the scan boundaries early in the pipeline.

## Current behavior: In Malaysia's Statement of Account, the total and total overdue amounts dont consider the selected Statement Date, and will calculate all the balances up until today in the generated PDF report ## Expected behavior: The total and total overdue amounts should only sum the balances included in the report up until the selected Statement Date ## Steps to reproduce: 1. Install l10n_my_reports module, switch to Malaysian company 2. Go inside Invoicing > Report > Aged receivable 3. Select a specific date in the past 4. Observe that the total amounts dont match with the balance column, and wont change regardless of the date selected ## Cause of the issue: The template used o.total_overdue which ignores the report domain and statement date ## Fix: Accumulate overdue_total in the template loop with the same domain and date_to cutoff as the balance lines, so it always matches the displayed Balance lines for the selected Statement Date opw-6332970 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#125410 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#123694
Accrual report totals now display correctly when users group purchase and sales accounting records by date. This prevents misleading zero totals in grouped views, helping finance teams review bills to receive and related accrual amounts accurately.

Currently, when users group accrual reports by dates, aggregated computed fields are not calculated correctly. As a result, values such as the total amount may be displayed as zero even when the grouped records contain non-zero amounts.
## Steps to produce:
- Install Purchase and Accounting
- Create a product `Energy drink Sample` with cost 10$
- Create and Confirm a PO with the energy drink sample with vendor as `Administrator`
- Set `Received` as 1.
- Go to Accounting > Review > Bill to Receive
- Search Filter> Remove vendor grouping > Use Custom Group `Order Date`
- Expand the group
## Observed Behavior
Although the grouped lines contain an amount of 10 dollars, the aggregated total displayed in the sum remains zero.
The total should reflect the combined value of the grouped lines.
## Root Cause:
This issue occurs because opening the view triggers `_read_group_for_accrual`, which overrides the `_read_group` method on purchase order lines. The purpose of this override is to support grouping on computed fields that are not stored in the database such as `amount_to_invoice_at_date (Amount)`, `qty_received_at_date (Received)`.
When `_read_group_for_accrual` is executed, it delegates grouping for non-computed fields to the parent `_read_group` implementation, as shown at [1].
The parent method returns results in `res` similar to:
```
[(datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 1, 0, 0), 1.0, 10.0, 1)]
```
During iteration over res at [2], the code uses `group[0]` as the grouping key. In this example, group[0] is `datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 1, 0, 0)`, which represents the granularity date
(e.g., the first day of the month when grouping by month).
However, `records_by_group` is keyed by the actual purchase order line order dates rather than the granularity dates returned by `_read_group`. For example:
```
{datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 12, 0, 0): purchase.order.line(1,)}
```
As a result, the lookup performed using the granularity date (`datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 1, 0, 0))` does not find a matching entry in `records_by_group`. Consequently, records falls back to an empty `purchase.order.line()` recordset.
Later, at [3], the aggregation logic computes totals using this empty recordset. Since the required fields are evaluated on an empty set of records, the aggregated values are computed as zero.
This ultimately causes the method to return a total value of zero

## Solution:
The issue can be resolved by grouping records using the same date granularity specified in the groupby, rather than using the field values.
By aligning the grouping logic with the granularity returned by `_read_group` (for example, grouping by the first day of the month when using monthly grouping ), the keys in `records_by_group` match the values returned in `res`. As a result, the corresponding records are correctly retrieved during aggregation.
This ensures that the aggregation is performed on the appropriate purchase order lines instead of an empty recordset, allowing the computed totals to be calculated correctly.

Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#120369Fixes an issue where the Planning Gantt view could crash when users grouped shifts by role and a role had no assigned resource or working schedule. This keeps planning reports usable for edge cases involving unstaffed or flexible roles.

Currently, an error occurs when grouping planning slots by role.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
- Install the `Planning` module.
- Go to `Planning` > `Configuration` > `Roles`.
- Create a `role` without assigning any resource to it (or assign a resource without a working time).
- Go to `Planning`, create a new `planning slot`, assign the `role` created above, set the start date to `20/07/2026 12:00 PM` and the end date to `21/07/2026 2:00 AM`.
- Switch to the `Gantt view` of the `planning slots`.
- Group by `Role` and set the custom date range to `07/19/2026 -> 07/20/2026`, then click `Apply`.
`KeyError: 1`
The error occurs when the user groups the planning slots by role in the Gantt view. During
the computation of the Gantt progress bar, if the existing slot's role has no resource, or has
a flexible resource without a calendar, the regular resources become empty [1]. Then it
attempts to compute the valid work intervals for these empty resources [2], resulting in an
empty calendar work interval dictionary ({}) [3]. Later, when computing the duration over the
period with the valid range slots, it tries to access the resource directly from the empty
calendar_intervals dictionary [4], which raises the error.
This commit ensures that, when no work intervals are available for a resource, an empty
work interval is used instead.

Previously, the `_preprocess_work_hours_data` method would abort early if no payslip was found for the given period. This prevented the correct generation or evaluation of expected Mexican work hours in contexts where a draft payslip does not yet exist (i.e., when an off-cycle payslip is initially generated for a given time period). To resolve this, the strict dependency on the payslip record has been removed. It now falls back to the contract version's base data when a payslip is absent: - The calendar defaults to the contract version's `resource_calendar_id`. - The duration is assumed to be standard (`is_wrong_duration = False`). - The Mexican schedule table (`l10n_mx_schedule_table`) is fetched globally from the environment (`hr.rule.parameter`) rather than relying on the payslip-specific helper method. This ensures expected work hours and attendance fields are calculated consistently across all payroll workflows, regardless of whether the payslip has been instantiated. opw-6351402 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#125219
The Belgian Partner VAT Listing now always uses the required calendar year period, from January 1 to December 31. This prevents incorrect VAT listing periods for companies whose fiscal year does not match the calendar year, improving compliance and reporting accuracy.

Previously, the report was relying on the company's fiscal year configuration, which caused incorrect reporting periods for companies with non-calendar fiscal years.

When `stock_account` is installed, the `_configure_journals` method in its `__init__.py` creates a new `account.journal` for inventory valuation. To apply default values to this journal, the method retrieves data from the chart template. https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/7d16ef88784e18e885b97dbded3231775f1349d2/addons/stock_account/__init__.py#L41 The `hr_payroll_account` module overrides `_post_load_data` and unconditionally calls `_load_payroll_accounts(template_code, company)`. https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/blob/fcf06997a0eb999af86e4b6917311a86f04a390e/hr_payroll_account/models/account_chart_template.py#L16-L18 This triggers the reinstallation of the default payroll accounts, which overwrites and discards any manual configuration changes the user has made to their salary rules. ### Fix: Ensure that default payroll accounts are only reset during a genuine chart of accounts loading process, and not during localized post-load operations triggered by other modules. opw-6251112 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#121687

This fixes barcode transfer behavior when extra products are not allowed. Users are now prevented from scanning unreserved products after reopening a transfer, while immediate delivery transfers can still use the Add Product button when appropriate.
Original PR description
This [PR] made sure it was not possible to scan unreserved products when `allow_extra_product` was disabled, even when exiting and re-entering a transfer. It worked under the assumption that an immediate transfer always stays in draft, which is wrong for deliveries.

While trying to fix the SAT cron, we did not think it through it could cause infinite cron triggering. Indeed, the write_date is updated on every record that is handled. Fix is manyfold: - Avoid re-processing what we already check within the last 4 hours/12 hours depending on the type of the document. - The domain takes the *static* create date instead of the write_date to make sure we don't endless re-process the same record and that the window of 7/60 days applies. - Limit the Vendor Bill to be checked only during 7 days after their creation. - Use the create_date in the order of the search to ensure we process older records first, before their time-window closes. - Process the Vendor Bills last, this ensure Customer Invoices will be processed in priority in case we are not able to process everything within the last 4/12 hours.

In a [previous PR], a test was introduced to reject any `l10n_xx_hr_*` module that has a `countries` key in its manifest and depends on a module that also has that country key. This test was too broad and rejected some valid cases: 1. A non-auto-install module can have a country key defined to add flags in the apps kanban view. ([src]) 2. A module that has a country-specific regular dependency, but not as an auto-install condition. The second case is illustrated by [l10n_us_hr_payroll], which should auto-install when `hr_payroll` is installed and a US company exists. With the old test, achieving this required adding `l10n_us` to its auto-install dependencies. But, since `l10n_us` is not auto-installable, `l10n_us_hr_payroll` would not be installed if you create a DB with a US company and only install `hr_payroll`. In practice, that module was still being installed via a [post-init hook] in `hr_payroll`. This hook was installing all `l10n_XX_hr_payroll` modules for each country where a company is located, which is the behavior of the `countries` parameter in the manifest. This caused issues during upgrades as this runs late in the process: after the auto-discovery phase. Modules installed by this hook would be considered as `uninstalled` until `hr_payroll` is loaded. This commit narrows the check to only fail if: - A module has a `country` key in its manifest, and - It has a country-specific module in its **auto-install** dependencies. Moreover, it modifies `l10n_us_hr_payroll` to correctly rely on the auto_install mechanism instead of the post-init hook.
