auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Adds a 'Log Out' button to the Point of Sale screen so a cashier can quickly return to the logged-in Odoo user, plus an automatic logout after a configurable idle time.
This module extends the Point of Sale interface with a quick way to switch back to the main Odoo user. In the POS screen header, a 'Log Out' button appears next to the username. It is only shown when the current cashier is different from the user logged into Odoo; if they are the same, the button is hidden.
Clicking the button immediately sets the cashier back to the logged-in Odoo user, without having to pick a user from a list. This is useful when several people share a POS and the cashier changes often.
The module also adds a 'Logout Timeout' setting on the Point of Sale configuration form. The default is 10 seconds. If the POS screen is left idle for that many seconds (no mouse movement, key press, click or scroll), the cashier is automatically switched back to the logged-in Odoo user. Any activity resets the timer.
The setting is stored on the pos.config model and is configured per point of sale. The module only changes the POS front-end behaviour and the POS configuration screen; it does not add new menus or reports.
