Project Timesheet Holidays - re-enable generated timesheets edition
By default, every timesheet generated from a leave becomes read-only, so nobody can directly edit it and e.g. change its hour count. This shouldn't occur in Odoo previous versions.
This could be annoying, because for certain leaves (like medical leaves), final spent time should be different than initial leave filled. This forces to reject, modify and then approve again leave. Exact time could not be filled sometimes anyway, due to leave form hour selection.
This addon re-enables timesheet edition when they're generated from leaves (initially name and quant fields), letting us make it editable depending on leave type.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you choose, per leave type, who may edit the timesheets automatically created from approved leaves, so hours and descriptions can be corrected without rejecting the leave.
When a leave is approved, Odoo normally creates a timesheet line that is locked. This module adds a setting on each leave type that decides who can still change those generated timesheets.
- On the leave type form (Time Off > Configuration > Leave Types), a new radio-button field appears next to the timesheet project/task settings. It is only shown when the leave type is set to generate timesheets, and offers three choices: None (nobody can edit), Officer (only users with the Time Off officer rights can edit), and All (any user can edit).
- The setting is stored on the leave type and defaults to None, so existing behaviour is unchanged until you change it.
- If the leave type is not configured to generate timesheets, the setting is automatically forced back to None.
- When someone tries to change a timesheet that came from a leave, the system checks the leave type's setting and the user's rights. If editing is allowed, only the description and the quantity of hours can be changed; other fields remain protected.
- This applies to timesheet lines (
account.analytic.line) linked to a leave (holiday_id), and the option is defined onhr.leave.type.
