This module adds support for time dependent parameters. It doesn’t provide any additional functionality when installed alone. You should use it in the developing of other modules which might favor of the functionality provided. It allows you to get time dependent parameters from any model in Odoo. The functionality is useful for cases when you have static parameters values which changes depending of the date of the record or todays date.
TODO: Write tests.

Usage
First give your user the access right «Manage Time Parameters». Then you can create new parameters in «Settings/Technical/Time Dependent Parameters».
The parameters need a code and a description (which is optional). Then you can create new versions of this parameters when you define a «from_date» and a value.
Then you can access current parameter value like this: .. code-block:: python # using today’s date when no date is passed value = model.get_time_dependent_parameter(“my_parameter_name”) # hr.payslip: use payslip.date_to value = payslip.get_time_dependent_parameter(“my_parameter_name”, payslip.date_to) # account.tax: use tax_date (https://github.com/apps2grow/apps/tree/14.0/account_tax_python_with_date) tax_rate = float(company.get_time_dependent_parameter(“tax_high_rate”, tax_date))
Finally i recomend that if you use this parameters in another modules, you create a view which filter by module_name so you can have a view for each module that needs to change this parameters and the user can only view the parameters of the module that he is looking to change.
Note: You can see a usage case of this module in OCA Payroll Module. More information in this PR: https://github.com/OCA/payroll/pull/31
