When using this module, the default behavior is to generate timesheet.
This timsheet is linked to a project and a task and there is a
constrain that verify that the task and project are set on model.
If another module (like l10n_fr_hr_payroll for example) tries to
create holidays.status without a project and task, it causes a
traceback.
This commit adds default values for these fields in order fullfill
the constrains.
Notice that the order of the imports in the __init__ is important
because the columns have to be created on the res.company before the
status is initialized.
This commit proposes to allow to automatically generate timesheet lines
when an employee is on leaves. Project and task used for timesheeting
is globally configured on the company. Holidays type choose whether to
generate timesheets or not and take the company default configuration.
When an HR officer validates a leave request, analytic lines will be
generated for each day off. The unit amount will be based on the working
calendar of the employee taking the leave. Generated timesheet lines are
attached to the project and task configured on the holidays type.
Configuring timesheet lines generation at holiday type level allows to
tune the use of leave requests. You may have for example "home working"
holiday type that should not generate timesheets while "legal leaves"
should.
