AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a new timesheet approval policy where the Department Manager reviews and approves employee timesheet sheets. When enabled, the department field becomes mandatory on the sheet and only that department's manager can approve it.

This module extends the Timesheet Sheets app with an extra approval option. On the company settings, a new choice "By Department Manager" is added to the timesheet sheet review policy.

When that policy is active: - The Department field on a timesheet sheet becomes visible and required, so every sheet must be linked to a department. - The manager of that department is automatically added to the list of possible reviewers, so the sheet can be routed to them for approval. - The sheet's display name includes the department name, making it easier to identify. - If someone who is not the department's manager tries to approve the sheet, Odoo blocks the action with the message "Only a Department's Manager can review the sheet."

The module also adjusts the list view of timesheet sheets so the Department column is shown when this policy is selected. It touches the hr_timesheet.sheet model and the company settings on res.company. No new menus or reports are added; the change appears inside the existing Timesheet Sheets screens and company configuration.
