ISDOC — Received Advance Invoices

Imported ISDOC proformas create a received advance instead of a bill to be posted, and the supplier's tax documents for your payment go to the advance journal and accounts, linked to their advance.

Routes imported advance documents into purchase_order_advance_invoice. A proforma (type 4) creates a received advance over the document's gross amount, and the draft bill the import made is flagged as not to be posted. The same proforma imported again — same supplier, same supplier's number, advance not cancelled — creates no second advance: the new draft is linked to the existing one. A tax document for your payment (type 5, credit note 6) is moved to the received advance tax documents journal, takes its taxable supply date from the file, has its lines moved to the paid-advances account and the payable to the clearing account, and is linked to the matching open advance — by order reference, variable symbol or unique paid amount; when that is ambiguous, the chatter asks you to link it by hand. It adds the product Advance payment (imported).

It installs itself when account_edi_isdoc and purchase_order_advance_invoice are both installed; the journal and accounts are those set up for received advances.
