Product Category Hr Department Link

This module adds a single new field to product categories: a Department field that lets you associate a product category with an HR department.

Where it appears: - On the product category form, a new Department field is shown right after the Parent Category field. You can open it from the Product Categories screen (Configuration area of Inventory/Sales/Purchase) and pick a department from the list.

What it changes: - The field is optional, so you can leave it empty on any category. - It stores a link to an existing HR department record; departments themselves are not modified. - No automatic checks, computations, default values, emails or scheduled jobs are added by this module.

The module only creates the link between product categories and departments. The filtering of products on sales order lines or purchase order lines based on the user's department is not implemented in this code; it is only the intended use of the link. If you need that filtering behaviour, it must come from another module or customisation.

Models touched: product.category (extended) and hr.department (referenced).
