AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets you choose which buttons stay visible in the Point of Sale main menu, so the ticket area gets more room. All other buttons move behind a 'More...' button.

In the Point of Sale screen, the row of control buttons (customer note, refund, price check, etc.) takes space away from the current ticket. This module lets you decide which of those buttons are important enough to stay on screen.

You set this per Point of Sale configuration: open the Point of Sale settings and fill in the 'Important Buttons' field with the technical names of the buttons you want to keep visible (for example OrderlineCustomerNoteButton). The same value is stored on the pos.config record, so each point of sale can have its own list.

On the POS screen, only the buttons whose names appear in that list are shown directly. The rest are grouped and reachable by clicking the 'More...' button, which appears when there are more than three control buttons. This frees up space for the current ticket.

The module touches the Point of Sale configuration (pos.config) and the settings screen (res.config.settings), and changes the Point of Sale product screen behaviour. No new menus, reports or scheduled actions are added.
