Account Invoice Download

This module adds a configuration screen under Accounting > Configuration > Vendor Bill Download where you set up, per vendor, how Odoo should retrieve supplier invoices from an external source.

• For each vendor you choose a download backend (the actual connection method is provided by separate add-on modules), enter the login and password, and decide whether the download is Manual (you click Run Now) or Automatic (Odoo runs it on a schedule).
• For automatic downloads you set the next run date and a frequency (days, weeks, months or years). A scheduled job named Vendor Bills Auto-Download processes the configurations that are due; it is installed inactive, so it must be enabled.
• If you leave the password empty, Odoo does not store it and instead opens a small authentication wizard asking for the login and password each time you run a download.
• A backward-days option re-downloads invoices from a few days before the last successful run, useful when invoices appear online late.
• Downloaded invoices are imported as vendor bills using the vendor's import configuration; invoices whose reference already exists for that vendor and company are skipped, and each run creates a log entry with the result (success or failure), the messages and the number of invoices downloaded.
• Logs can be listed, searched, grouped, and viewed in graph and pivot form.
• On the vendor form a button shows how many download configurations exist and jumps to them.
