Re: Reciprocity in PR opening vs reviews; banning contributors
Hello!I like the idea of using statistics to show the path we expect contributors to follow. However, I don’t think we should ban or limit users who don’t follow that path.In my experience, newcomers rarely meet these expectations at the beginning. It often takes around a year before people start collaborating the way we would like (doing reviews, participating in discussions, etc.). Some people get there faster, others slower, but we shouldn’t limit them because of that.Obviously, we can enforce rules like a 2 reviews : 1 PR ratio for PSCs or maintainers (and IMO, we should), but not for everyone.Collaboration data is very interesting, but relying only on data can be counterproductive and, in some cases, unfair. Reviews and contributions are hard to evaluate properly. Should we ban someone who does 3 high-quality reviews (with thoughtful comments and valuable points) and 10 fix PRs (including migrations), while promoting someone who does 10 reviews with no comments and 1 PR that creates a lot of extra work for others due to their way of working?This kind of data can be useful when looking at large numbers and trends, but with smaller samples, it’s easy to draw the wrong conclusions. IMO, using it can be a double-edged sword.So if we decide to use this data, I think it should be for promotion and visibility, not for banning contributors.My 2 cents.El mar, 27 ene 2026 a las 9:12, Tom Blauwendraat (<notifications@odoo-community.org>) escribió:On 1/27/26 8:57 AM, Jairo Llopis wrote: > IMHO statistics should be used as a prize, not as a weapon.

Re: Reciprocity in PR opening vs reviews; banning contributors
This might sound like a crazy way to handle, but how about solving by setting a PR limit per repo. So a PSC can set a policy of say, at any given time, only 10 open PR's are allowed, and no PR can be older than say 4 months. Once limit is hit, no new PR can be accepted until limits resolved.On Tue, Jan 27, 2026 at 3:47 PM Raphaël Valyi <notifications@odoo-community.org> wrote:Hello,I think Enric metrics could be a good basis.

So just to be clear , even if I have a certified weighing scale, odoo itself isn't certified enough as POS in european setting?
AFAIK, there is not an european cert for PoS, at least for weighing, in some regions of Spain we must certificate our accounting software in local tax authority but in others regions not...
When a client of ours (a supermarket) has had an inspection by the consumer authority, they have checked with a known weight the scale and the final result in the PoS, they validate the whole set is measuring fine in display and final ticket. They asked for the certificates of the scales, but they didn't say anything about the software.
I think we are mixing two different legal issues in PoS:
1. Accounting, each region has its own rules.
2. Consumers, each scale must be certificated, revised properly, measuring fine and must communicate reliably with PoS software.

Accrual for Annual Bonus
Hello everyone
I'm seeking advice on an accounting workflow for the 13th month salary or annual bonus within Odoo.
I need to know if there's an Odoo standard workflow or an OCA module that can help book this expense monthly, as we are not using a payroll module.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Lin

Re: Weighing scales
Hey All,
Already thank you for the replies.
I was under the impression if the scale is certified it should not be a problem?
Connect a scale — Odoo 19.0 documentation
The only requirement is that it is intregrated no?
I could be wrong since I don't have any knowledge about the legal info about scales.
As far as I know every scale has to be "checked" every 4 years by company that is registered as official by the goverment(in Belgium)
So just to be clear , even if I have a certified weighing scale, odoo itself isn't certified enough as POS in european setting?
Sincerely
Kristof

well the latest i heard on this was from fellow Odooer Laurence Labusch (and his company Labiso GmbH). He has spent considerable time to narrow down that issue with the authorities and afaik it is still not allowed to use an electronic wheiging scale even if the POS itself is working according to the national standard which in Germany is implemented using fiskaly TSE unless the whole POS is certified with the weighing scale but maybe Laurence (which i am putting on copy can answer himself).

If you reside in one of these countries, you can still use a scale but without integration into your Odoo database. Alternatively, you can acquire a non-integrated certified scale that prints certified labels, which can then be scanned into your Odoo database."
Anyone has more clarity on this scale certification part in Germany or other EU countries?

Re: Weighing scales
My latest information (more a guess/feeling) from Odoo customer service (and some online research) on this was that if the POS is certified (like e.g. Odoo POS via fiscaly is in Germany), then the scale itself does not need to have an additional certification, and that this may explain why Odoo removed the below notice from its later documentation from v18 on
"Odoo is not certified in several countries, including France, Germany, and Switzerland. If you reside in one of these countries, you can still use a scale but without integration into your Odoo database. Alternatively, you can acquire a non-integrated certified scale that prints certified labels, which can then be scanned into your Odoo database."
Anyone has more clarity on this scale certification part in Germany or other EU countries?

Re: Weighing scales
hello,
thanks santi for the information. i didn’t know that there was a solution for epelsa scales. good to know!
some people are also using other scales that use the toledo protocol, like the baxtran tw/vw, with pywebdriver.
please note that in eu member states, to use a scale connected to a pos computer, certification is legally required (as mentioned here), and afaik, odoo does not provide that certification.
kind regards,
hugues de keyzer

Re: Reciprocity in PR opening vs reviews; banning contributors
It sounds fair, especially if the explanation of the situation accompanies any blockages.Can we give a way to appeal as well as a way to see what a PR reviewed line count is for the repo?If we are keeping the count, then, hopefully, we could be able to share it.Is this an area where AI could help?JPOn Fri, Jan 23, 2026 at 5:52 PM Sergio Corato <notifications@odoo-community.org> wrote:And an option less intrusive but maybe more effective as setting a priority on a rating of the contributor? Computed on reviews, porting, modules etc or whatever.Then show the PRs on this priority and set in the guidelines that they will be prioritized?Sergio CoratoIl ven 23 gen 2026, 21:41 Adam Heinz <notifications@odoo-community.org> ha scritto:I understand where this is coming from, but have trouble believing that punishment will yield additional reviews. A small number of my own pull requests have been fixes for modules that I don't even use, because they were breaking the repository build. Under the proposed system, I would have to spend additional time reviewing pull requests (that I don't care about) to earn the privilege of fixing modules (that I don't care about).Speaking outside of my own experience, some of my colleagues who entered academia have lamented a similar sort of tendency in graduate students to favor the creation and publication of novel work for their theses, rather than review or reproduce the work of their peers.My best successes have been when another contributor and I accidentally worked on a fix or migration in parallel, then noticed each other and reviewed the better of the two prototypes. This suggests to me that perhaps a more granular ability to Watch a specific module instead of an entire repository could more easily put like-minded individuals in a position of mutual benefit (Jita Kyoei 自他共栄).On Fri, Jan 23, 2026 at 2:58 PM Holger Brunn <notifications@odoo-community.org> wrote:Hi all, on the OCA days, we discussed that the current situation with having way too much input for way too few reviewers is untenable. This has not improved since, quite the opposite. It's really hard to find the gems in the noise. Back then, I called for better automation for this, so here my proposal: Have a github action that counts lines of PRs somebody opened in a repo, vs the lines of PRs the person reviewed in that repo. Everyone must review at least twice as much as they submit. If after asking for more reviews, no reviews come, close the user's PRs automatically (in the repo, not all OCA) after some time. Also add a manual mechanism for banning users who try to cheat with bullshit reviews or otherwise undesirable behavior. PRs by banned users are closed automatically. I implemented both in https://github.com/hbrunn/social/blob/18.0/.github/workflows/reciprocity.yml resp https://github.com/hbrunn/social/blob/18.0/.github/workflows/ban.yml You can test this by creating PRs against my fork after cloning my version of the 18.0 branch. Banning works by adding a handle to a file .banned.txt in the repo's root. Before proposing this to oca-addons-repo-template, I'd like to hear some input from you.

Re: OCA Server appears to be down 2026/01/24 9:40 AM Mountain
Thanks for reporting.This mailing list is managed by our Odoo itself so it's a bit of a chicken and eggs problem !Feel free to open an issue in https://github.com/OCA/oca-custom (at least I follow that repo) or you could ping the "Internal Tools" github team https://github.com/orgs/OCA/teams/internal-tools/membersAs far as I can tell, Odoo couldn't connect to the database, I've no access to the database logs to investigate more, we probably reached the connection pool limit.Regards,PierreLe sam. 24 janv. 2026 à 23:37, Landis Arnold <notifications@odoo-community.org> a écrit :Yes,

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.
Perhaps this would best be posted to GitHub but did not find a General "Issues" area that is not related to a specific repository.
Anyway, I thought to get the note out to those who might fix.
Often an easy fix, but who knows from the outside.
Best to all.
I appreciate your great work.
