Technical
The HR Expense Change module is the technical foundation for modifying expenses. It creates a wizard and permissions for making expense changes that can be handled by other modules. This particular module implements the ability to change the Expense Date field.
There is a new Transient Model (Wizard) `hr.expense.change` with the following fields:
`expense_id` Many2one field for the Expense to be changed
`expense_company_id` Many2one field related to the `expense_id`'s company id
`date` Expense Date field for the expense and subsequent Accounting Moves
An action button Change is added to the expense sheet form view on every expense line.
