Account Analytic Required

This module lets you decide, for each accounting account, whether an analytic account must be filled in on journal entry lines.

On the account form and in the chart of accounts list, a new field "Policy for analytic account" appears (visible to users with analytic accounting rights). It offers four choices: - Empty: no rule, the accountant is free to add or omit an analytic account. - Always: an analytic account is required on every line using this account. - Posted moves: an analytic account is required only when the entry is posted. - Never: an analytic account is forbidden on lines using this account.

When a journal entry is posted, Odoo checks all its lines. If a line uses an account with the "Always" or "Posted moves" policy and has no analytic account, or uses a "Never" account but does have one, a validation error blocks the operation and explains which account and which line are at fault. Lines with zero debit and credit are ignored.

The rule is also checked whenever the analytic account, the account, or the amounts on a line change, so mistakes are caught early. The module touches account.account, account.move, and account.move.line.
