Purchase - Order Qty By Product Category

This module adds a new "Qty by Product Category" tab to the purchase order form. There you see a table with one line per product category, showing the quantity ordered, the quantity received and the quantity still to receive, plus the unit of measure when the Units of Measure feature is enabled.

Two toggles on that tab control how quantities are grouped: - "Split by UoM": when on, quantities are grouped by category and by unit of measure instead of category alone. - "Use Reference UoM": only available when the previous toggle is on; when active, all quantities are converted to the reference unit of measure of each category before being summed.

Defaults for these toggles can be set company-wide in Purchase settings ("Split Quantity Category By UoM" and "Split Quantity Category By Reference UoM"). The module also reads system parameters to decide the default values.

The grouping records are created and updated automatically as order lines change, and are removed when no longer needed. A check prevents two identical groups (same order, category and unit of measure) from existing. The module touches purchase.order, purchase.order.line, res.company and res.config.settings.
