The default taxes for most localisations have been left undefined by
default. When loading the chart template, the model generally selects
the first sales and purchase taxes, based on the order in which the
taxes appear in the csv, for the default sales and purchase taxes
respectively.
This behaviour can be confusing to those who are not yet familiar with
it. It has been decided that it is preferable instead to specify the
default tax in _get_*_res_company function on the account chart template
model, such that the default taxes are defined explicitly for every
localisation.

A lot of the separate files were kept up to now because it made the
process easier while applying the script to rebase.
The files can now be merged.
Some code is also cleaned by using CSV instead of a python dict.
Part-of: odoo/odoo#114164
Rewrite the whole chart template mechanism, removing the templates
stored in the database. The new format will mainly use CSV.
Speed up install time
---------------------
* About half of the time of installing a localization for the first time is
taken by creating the template records. This new in code format gets
completely rid of this.
* Creating the template records could often not be done in batch because
of parent/children relations.
* The instanciation of the accounts on the company has been entirely
reworked too, by
- optimizing the order of creation of records to avoid UPDATE queries
- using precomputed fields to avoid UPDATE queries
- updating the translation in batch
- deactivating logging in the chatter
- avoiding access rights checks by checking the rights at the start
Overall, when installing a chart template for the first time, it is 4
times faster because half of the time spent on saving the template in
the database is not done at all anymore, and the instanciation on the
company is more than twice as fast.
Reduce technical debt
---------------------
There is no need to synchronize the templates with the real records
anymore. No need to use hooks to copy the data from one to the other.
It is easier to change a template in a stable version, which can often
be necessary due to legal reasons (i.e. a change of tax rates, reporting
tags,...)
Two modules have been removed:
* `l10n_generic_coa`: since there is nothing left datawise in this
module, it can be integrated in `account` for free. It is just code
and CSV.
* `l10n_multilang`: the fields that this module modified to be
translatable are now always translatable:
- there was an issue when updating modules that deleted all the
translations because the fields were not translatable at some point
during the loading of the registry, then they because translatable
again but lost all translations because of the column type change.
- most devs are not able to understand all the languages needed for
all the localization available. Therefore, english has been added in
the sources in most localization to understand better issues while
debugging.
- no need to call post init hooks anymore, doing the sync with the
templates.
- more: see "Translations" section
Because most of the data is now in CSV, it is also easier for product
owners to edit, audit, modify files themselves, removing one layer
during trivial development processes when only data should be changed.
More flexibility for declaration
--------------------------------
The data declaration can now be done easily in python or CSV.
A nice feature is that you can declare everything at once, even for some
more complex chart of accounts:
* if you have to set default taxes on accounts, would need to
- declare the accounts because accounts are required on the taxes
- declare the taxes
- declare the taxes to put on the accounts
This would lead to scatter information in multiple files. Now,
everything can be declared in the same place and the loading of the
chart of accounts will do the 3 steps automatically.
* if you have a relation of child/parent, you would first need to
declare the parents then the children, and the loading would not be
efficient because done one by one. Now, everything is done in batch
automatically without having to think about it.
It is also easier to update fields on records where there was no field
for that on the templates, like
* setting a restriction for journals on accounts
* setting specific values on the company
* modifying journals and linking them easily by using the xml_id instead
of having to compute it manually
Translations
------------
Some countries have multiple languages (i.e. Belgium uses officially
French, Dutch and German, and the CoA also has an official English
version) and we must support the languages in all these countries.
All these translations are known, and hard coded without using out
translation platform (Transifex). We also like to have the English
version (even if an official one doesn't exist) so that support can be
done more easily in databases using chart templates in other languages
(especially using a non roman alphabet).
Because the translations were not on Transifex for these records, it was
really hard to maintain: the translation templates (`.pot` files) were
not easy to extract as the automatic export would give values mixing
both the CoA and the menuitmes, the fields' strings,... But we don't
want to translate the CoA as we already know the value.
Managing the translations in the `.po` files was also annoying:
- it is easy to forget that the translations need an update too
- it requires a special editor, special terminal commands that everyone
is not familiar with
- it is easy to make mistakes in the source string
The new format is the following: `field@en_US` where `field` is the
translatable field (usually `name`) and `en_US` is the locale code.
This allows to have the whole declaration on one line, everything in one
file. It also makes the process easier when debugging: instead of
searching for the translation in the `.po` files, it directly appears
next to the configuration of the account/tax/... .
Update of the code
------------------
The code can be updated using this script
https://github.com/william-andre/transform_coa
Forward ports can be managed too by stashing/resetting/checkout the new
modules or the changes in the modules updated in the same PR.

Before, account_fiscal_country_id was only use for tax operations; and country_id was used for all the other accounting stuff. Now, with the new ability to use foreign tax reports (with foreign VAT fiscal positions), we can generalize the fiscal country, sot that it is the one that needs to be used for the whole accounting. Since foreign tax reports were not supported before, account_fiscal_country_id is already set on existing database as the country for the "main" accounting, so the impact of this change is small.

Multi is the default api for methods, it is not necessary to explicitly
decorate methods with it, adds clutter and most people use it because
they see that the rest of the code uses it.
Done with `find . -type f -name '*.py' | xargs sed -i '/@api.multi/d'`
The goal is to be coherent with the user property.
Actually, company_id and company_ids on the environment are no fields.
Calling env.company_id returns a browse record, not an id.
Purpose
=======
Allow the user to select the allowed companies for which he wants to see records
on top of selecting his current company.
It is confusing for users to see the records from the company he is connected to
and the records of the children companies.
Instead of using the hierarchy of companies to access records across companies,
the user can now select (from his set of allowed companies) the companies for
which he wants to access records.
/!\ This means that the user will interact with records from company A when in
company B.
Example: a SO has been created and confirmed in A. When in B, I create the
invoice from it.
Specifications
==============
1/ Deprecate the parent/children hierarchy on the res.company model. The fields are
kept on the res.company model to ensure the retro-compatibility, but won't be used
accross the standard code anymore. The only functional usage for this mechanism
was to allow to see records from several companies by creating a virtual parent
company, which will be possible with the new mechanism.
2/ By default, a user will only see the records of the company he is connected
to (or records without a company). (It is still editable by the user if needed).
For that, put this information in the user context, to allow having different
configurations on different browser tabs. Instead of having domains like
['|',
('company_id', '=', False),
('company_id', 'child_of', user.company_id.id)]
you'll have something like
['|',
('company_id', '=', False),
('company_id', 'in', company_ids)]
Note that the 'company_ids' is a value that is passed in the evaluation
context on the record rule, as we already have user, or time.
company_ids is a list of the ids of all the enabled companies in the
user's context.
3/ Out of the generic improvements brought by this task, this will illustrate
issues that could exist since several versions. For example, it should not be
possible to create a scrap order for the company A with a package of the company
B, or it should not be possible to create an invoice on the company A with
payment terms from the company B. Before the version 12.0, it was easy to
encounter this kind of issues as the admin was the SUPERUSER_ID. A positive side
effect of the fact that the SUPERUSER_ID has become an inactive user was to
make it more difficult to introduce mismatch on the records, but haven't solved
the issue, as it was still possible to do it with parent companies
configuration. Some of these issues have been fixed in this commit, but all the
business flows should be re-tested to check if an ir.rule should be introduced
(eg: a multi company rule for stock.quand.package), if the company of a record
is correctly transfered to another record created from the first record (eg:
From a SO, create an invoice and a payment, the company of the sales order
should be transfered on the invoice and the payment, even if the company of the
sales order is A and I'm logged into the company B with the company A enabled.
4/ Currently, if I click on a button on a notification email (example 'View
Task'), I face a traceback if I'm not logged into the company of the record.
Now, if you click on a button and if you have access to the record, the correct
company will be automatically set.
5/ If I display a kanban view with several records from several companies (and
an image), all the images should be displayed.
6/ Currently if you copy paste an url, this will crash if you're not in the
correct company. This won't be fixed because it's quite impossible to do it in
a clean way. This task brings a workaround. Copy/Paste -> Traceback -> Log into
the correct company, re-copy/paste -> Ok.
7/ 2 property methods have been added on the environment to retrieve the company
on which the user is logged in and the companies the user enabled, on a specific
tab.
That way, when creating a record, instead of doing
default=lambda self: self.env.user.company_id
do
default=lambda self: self.env.company_id
On the other hand, to retrieve the enabled companies, do
companies = self.env.company_ids
8/ Modify the Company Switcher widget to allow to log into another company
WITHOUT writing on the res.users (and thus bringing cache invalidation issues
and so on). Also allow to enable several companies and see records from several
companies, and independantly of the other browser's tabs.
9/ When focusing on a tab, save the current company configuration on the local
storage. That way, when doing 'CTRL+T' or a middle click, the context is
propagated to the new tab.
10/ Improve the error message in case of multi company access errors. Now, when
the user is in debug mode, display the related names of the records and the name
of the user who brings the issue.
11/ Remove the context erasing when writing on a res.users
This is probably coming from the migration to new API of the base module.
The context was not propagated at this moment, which was a common mistake at
that time. When migrating the module, probably by using the 'black box' method,
as the context was not propagated, it was erased on the new version. This is
now an issue because the context (i.e. the enabled companies) was erased when
writing on a res.users, leading to tracebacks.
See: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/7eab8e26d3d46c53f4be924d6a34e80a66e74960#diff-4c2e738ee8f64f11806c889ea097b5e7R624
12/ Fix the crash manager on redirect warnings. The issue is the following
- Create an invoice on a company without a configured CoA.
- Set a partner
- On the onchange_partner_id, a redirect warning is raised to propose you
to configure a CoA
- Click on 'Go to the configuration panel'
- A generic warning says something like 'Do you want to discard your changes?'
- Click on yes, the page refreshes, but not on the redirect action.
Now, set correctly the action on the hash, and reload instead. The breadcrumb is
lost for example, but you reach the correct action at least.
13/ Introduce a res.group to enable/disable the multi company per tab
feature.
14/ To help the users to know which tab is in which company, add the
possibility to have a favicon per company. When creating a company,
the classical 'O' icon is colored by default in a random color.
15/ Remove the company switcher on the frontend. This was mainly there
to allow a user to swicth to the company linked to the website.
This behavior is now transparent to the user. If the website A is
activated, then the company set on the context is the company of the
website.
16/ Deprecated the _company_default_get method on the res.company
model. Remove the method _get_company on the res.users model.
17/ Add 'allowed_company_ids' and 'current_company_id' on the pyeval
context. You can now use those variables on domains in the views to
access directly to the activated company.ies on the current tab.

To comply with local and tax regulations:
-The whole Charts of Accounts was changed
-Most of the Journals has been preconfigured to comply with tax regulator
-All the regulatory taxes were added and configured with group taxes
To standardize the Dominican implementations:
-An IFRS compatible CoA that does not need major changes for most companies
