auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you create professional categories and assign one to each employee contract, so you can classify and group contracts by category.

This module adds a new reference list of Professional Categories and a field on employee contracts to select one.

  • A new menu "Professional Categories" appears under the Employees configuration menu, where HR managers can create, edit and archive categories. Each category has a name, an optional numeric code and an optional company.
  • On the contract form, a "Professional Category" field is added after the Department field. It also appears as a column in the contract list and as a filter/group-by option in the contract search view, so you can group contracts by professional category.
  • Categories are shown as "code - name" when selected, and are ordered by code. They can be archived instead of deleted, and an "Archived" filter is available in the category search.
  • Access is controlled: HR users can only read categories, while HR managers can create, edit and delete them. A multi-company rule limits categories to those belonging to the allowed companies (or with no company).
  • The module touches the hr.contract model by adding the professional_category_id field, and introduces the new hr.professional.category model.
