Full Release Notes

## Bug Fixes
* In **Employee Incentive**, the _Salary Component_ field now shows only earning components for the selected _Company_. This can prevent the permission error that may appear when opening the list. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4729)
* Updates the example companies used by the "Monthly Attendance Sheet" report to give related companies different short names and avoid clashes. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4720)
* In the PWA, the **Leave Application** form keeps the saved _Leave Balance Before Application_ when you open an existing leave application. It no longer changes _Leave Balance Before Application_ to the current balance. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4746)
* Prevents **Expense Claim** from adding **Employee Advance** entries in a different currency. Only advances in the same currency as the claim are available to add, so the advance amounts stay in the claim currency. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4734)
* The "Income Tax Computation" report now shows only employees in the selected _Payroll Period_. Additional salary entries are now skipped when no sub-periods remain. (https://github.com/frappe/hrms/pull/4750)
