auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 20.0

Lets you assign an HR department to each project, and tasks automatically show the department of their project. You can also search and group projects and tasks by department.

This module links projects to the departments already defined in the Employees area of Odoo.

  • On a project form, a new "Project Department" field appears right after the project manager, where you pick a department.
  • On each task, a "Project Department" field is filled in automatically from the task's project; you do not type it yourself.
  • In the project list, the department is shown as a read-only column.
  • In the project search view, you can filter by department and group projects by department.
  • In the task search view, you can filter by project department and group tasks by it.
  • The task form and task list also display the project department.

Business rules and automatic behaviour: the task's department is a stored value copied from the project, so it stays available for searching and grouping. Changing the department on a project updates the value carried by its tasks. No checks, restrictions, emails or scheduled actions are added.

Areas touched: projects (project.project) and tasks (project.task), using departments from hr.department. The module only adds fields and view changes; it does not create new menus or screens of its own.
