Received Advance Invoices — Inventory

A received advance invoice never creates a receipt; the goods are received on the purchase order they were ordered on.

A received advance invoice of purchase_order_advance_invoice is a purchase order of its own, and paying it confirms it. With Inventory installed, Odoo would then create a receipt for its stockable products, and the same goods would be expected twice: on the advance and on the purchase order they were ordered on.

With this add-on an advance never creates a receipt — not when it is paid, not when it is confirmed by hand, and not when a line is added or a quantity raised afterwards. Receive the goods on the parent purchase order, as usual. Ordinary purchase orders are not affected.

It installs itself when purchase_order_advance_invoice and Inventory (purchase_stock) are both installed. There is nothing to set up.
