auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a 'Customer Description' field to timesheets that is filled automatically from the normal description, and uses it in the customer portal and in a new 'Timesheet Customer' PDF report.
This module extends timesheets (the account.analytic.line model) with an extra text field called 'Customer Description'. When a timesheet line is created and the normal description is filled in, the customer description is copied from it automatically, but users can still edit it afterwards to show a different wording to the customer.
Where it appears: - In the timesheet list view, the 'Customer Description' column is added after the normal description and is visible to timesheet managers. - In the customer portal, the timesheet tables now display the customer description instead of the internal description. - A new PDF report named 'Timesheet Customer' is available on timesheet lines; it prints the customer description instead of the internal one.
Business behaviour: - The customer description is computed from the description only when it is empty, so manual edits are kept. - The report can show the project name when all lines belong to a single project, and can show task and project columns depending on the data.
It touches the timesheet model, the timesheet list view, the portal timesheet templates and the timesheet report template.
